Canon RF50mm F1.8 STM Lens, Fixed Focal Length Prime Lens, Compatible with EOS R Series Mirrorless Cameras, Black

★★★★★ Perfect Little Powerhouse—A Must‑Have RF Prime!I ordered the Canon RF 50 mm f/1.8 STM on a whim and—boom—it was on my porch the very next day. For the money, you literally cannot find a better value. This isn’t a knock‑off or gray‑market gamble; it arrived in official Canon packaging with warranty card, instruction booklet, and the flawless build quality you’d expect straight from the manufacturer.I’m pairing it with my EOS R6 Mark II and the fit is seamless—snug mount, lightning‑quick AF, and full metadata communication. Coming from my beloved (but hefty) 70‑200 mm f/2.8 sports rig, this feather‑light and user friendly 50 mm is the missing link for:•Portraits & Lifestyle – dreamy background blur at f/1.8.•Weddings & Events – discreet size, tack‑sharp in low light.•Street & Travel – inconspicuous, fast, perfect field of view.•Food & Product – shallow depth for mouth‑watering detail.•Video & Vlogging – silent STM focus keeps the footage clean.If you shoot in tight indoor gyms, crowded receptions, or cozy living rooms, this lens will instantly earn its place in your bag. Canon’s classic “nifty fifty,” now in RF, is proof you don’t have to splurge to score pro‑level glass. Hit that “Add to Cart” button—you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!

TL;DR: This lens is so much fun that I want to get more RF/RF-S lenses for my EOS R100. Highly recommend.I love the portraits my wife takes and enjoy taking pictures of objects in various depths of field. This lens has the ability to generate a good amount of blur on everything that it is not focusing on. It's not too much that you can't figure out what the background is but it's also not too little that it's in the same focus as the desired subject.It works right out of the box and forms a pretty tight fit on my EOS R100. The f1.8 allows me to use it in lower light situations so I'm able to capture my sister's cats lurking in the dark. The brightness is much more flexible than the lens that came with my EOS R100 kit.In my opinion, the build quality is better than my lens that came with my camera bundle. Although, when it's trying to focus on my subject while on Video mode, you can hear it adjusting in the playback. I was surprised at how noisy it was.But I am having fun with stills and don't really care for video recordings at the moment. For now, it's my daily lense until I get my hands on the RF70-200mm f2.8 L IS USM Z. 🥹

I had recently sold my old camera setup and along with it my EF 50mm 1.8 (which I had been adapting to my current RF mount).I think this lens is performs exactly like the previous one: good depth of field, sharp wide open (on what’s in focus), good image reproduction. It’s lightweight but doesn’t feel cheap. Highly recommend this, as well as the RF 85mm F2 lens (the most expensive of the “low end” Canon primes). Those are my go-tos.The Canon pancake lenses are great options for folks who can’t drop $1200+ on a single lens.

Great starter lens. Super sharp detail for portraits. Perfect bokeh. Great for a beginner looking to get shots that look professional. Can use for video and photos.

Awesome lens takes great portrait pictures, would buy again.

It's an inexpensive nifty fifty. The AF is finicky and slow, but works well. It does the autofocus electric song, and that's kind of my jam, so I don't mind. The camera's mic pics it up pretty well.It's a solid lens. I'm very happy with it, especially at the price point. I've spent more for less.Have some unedited shots with a Canon EOS R50 and the lens.

Small, lightweight, easy to carry on R6. It focuses well and produces sharp images. Great value for the price. Only issue is that the bokeh could be smoother.

Great lens for a great price
