50mm lenses can cost anywhere between less than $100 to over $2,000, with every level of image quality and performance imaginable. At $179, Canon's RF 50mm f/1.8 STM sits at the lower end of the price spectrum, but it still brings with it a range of quite useful features. This excellent video review takes a look at the lens and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice.
Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this great video review takes a look at the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens. The 50mm f/1.8 is one of the more affordable 50mm options out there, but it still has a range of great features, including:
- One precision-molded (PMo) aspherical element for increased sharpness and reduced distortions
- Super Spectra coating for reduced flares and ghosting and deeper contrast
- STM stepping motor for fast and quiet autofocus suitable for both photo and video work
- Customizable Control Ring
- Rounded seven-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh
Altogether, the RF 50mm f/1.8 STM looks like a nice lens for the price, offering good focusing performance and sharpness in addition to nice bokeh. Check out the video above for Abbott's full thoughts on the lens.
