Pros and cons
According to our camera lens expert
- Thanks to the 7 circle-shaped aperture blades, you can create a soft background blur.

- Thanks to the silent STM autofocus motor, you won't have annoying noises in your videos.
- The lens doesn't have a dustproof and splash proof design.
Description
The Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a light-sensitive standard lens for your Canon full-frame mirrorless camera. Thanks to the large f/1.8 maximum aperture with 7 circle-shaped aperture blades, you can take photos with a soft background blur. With this, the model detaches from the background. This is especially useful for portrait photography, for example. In addition, the lens is light-sensitive, so you can take bright detailed photos in dark lighting situations. Thanks to the STM autofocus motor, the lens isn't only suitable for photography, but also for videography. This way, you can focus on your object smoothly and silently without having annoying noises in your videos.

Great camera with which both a beginner and an advanced amateur can take beautiful photos, and that for a reasonable price.
