RF 50mm f/1.8 STM

The Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a compact, lightweight prime lens designed for full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras, offering a classic 50mm focal length with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture. The optical design features one aspherical element that reduces spherical aberrations and distortion, combined with Super Spectra coating on the lens elements to minimize flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy. The STM stepping motor delivers fast, quiet, and smooth autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override, making it well-suited for both still photography and video work.

The lens includes a configurable Control Ring that allows direct adjustment of exposure settings such as aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation from the lens itself. With a minimum focus distance of 11.8 inches and a rounded seven-blade diaphragm, this lens produces pleasing bokeh and is ideal for everyday walkaround shooting in various lighting conditions.
