Just got one of these for my 2000D after using the standard kit lens for a few months... And as a hobbyist, my life is complete. This feels like and takes pictures like the 50mm on my '80s full manual film camera. I'm in love with this thing.
Who would have thought i will be watching this review again after 5 years. I just bought the mark ii version of this lens from a nearby thrift store for $20. I was smiling on my way home. Now im using my 5dmkiii again more often after buying this nifty fifty.
Thanks so much for this review; its many years after you have published it but it still helped me when I purchased one of these today. I evaluated the RF 50, but at the price I paid, and given that I already have an EF/RF converter, I’m happy with the “old” EF lens. Thanks for all the great work over so many years: I don’t buy a lens before seeing what you have to say about it!
Just add this lens to my collection and I’m so glad I did. I’m not a a photographer I’m a beginner still but even I can see how much better is for the pictures.
Great review Chris, it's pretty impressive isn't it. Canon have done a fantastic job with these new STM lenses. Keep making excellent videos, do appreciate them. All the best, Chris
Chris Winter The new STM lens is being underrated in this video. It focuses faster than the old lens did and has much improved bokeh too. I just watched a review live-testing the lenses to demonstrate these points. Ha ha I just realised that the person I was referring to is YOU!!
cooloox No, the older 'mark ii' lens is much faster to autofocus (but much louder). Take a look at my review of that lens to see the autofocus footage, and compare with this lens.
Christopher Frost Photography What makes it hard is that you don't tell us what you are doing. When you were autofocusing this new lens you didn't say whether you were tapping the screen to shift focus from one object to another or whether you were just pressing the shutter button half-way and letting the camera decide which object to focus on. In a busy scene no-one would let the camera decide. Just for the record though - I love your reviews and always watch them :-) It was a just unusual this time coming straight from another review showing the superior focusing to hear you saying the opposite. In the other video the reviewer made it very clear what he was doing and the newer lens was noticeably faster (with his testing method). Can I ask you a question please? Do you know how the original 50mm f/1.8mm lens compares optically to the series 2 and the new STM versions? I have the original from years ago when it came with an SLR film camera. The original had an all metal lens mount, unlike the series 2, which is strange.
cooloox I'm planning to do a review of the Mark 1 lens one day, but optically it is the same. When it comes to autofocus differences between the Mark ii lens and the STM lens: The STM lens may be a little faster in liveview mode, as STM is more efficient that way. But in normal shooting the Mark ii lens is clearly faster. Check out my review of the Mark ii lens and you will see that it focuses faster (while making more noise). Best
My God! This was SUCH a great review! I've just entered the world of DSLRs and Lenses, and you, Sir, just won a new subscriber, more importantly, a fan! I've seen numerous reviews of the same, but I've never really understood the entire jist of the products, until I stopped by your channel! Keep up the amazing work, buddy!
I've got a 6D and bought all my lenses following your reviews. Thank you very much. - I bought the 50mm Mk II years ago, and now it broke. Today I received the STM as a replacement and I have two things to remark to your review/comparison: the Mk II and the STM are very similar in size, I do not see that the new lens is more pancakeish. Secondly, for being supposed to have the same optics, I was very surprised to find the 52mm filter thread of the Mk II has shrunk to 49mm on the STM. Finally, the STM is _noticably_ slower focussing, but also _noticably_ more silent. Very much worth the money. Thank you again for all your fantastic reviews!
I wish they would release a 35mm f/1.8 simuliar to this lens at a sumuliar price point. It would make so much sense, as most people who buy this 50mm use APC, so 35mm would make more sense. What do you think, Chris? As always, great work!
Björn Willimzig There's one already available. Check out my review of the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 ART lens. MAke sure it's the ART version of the lens. And check DigitalRev for some good prices :-)
This is an excellent review which realistically assesses the lens and shows the main areas they improved it. All I would add is that I personally find that the lens is compromised in the one area I specifically bought it for - in low light shooting with my 6D, I cannot rely on it to focus accurately. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, depending on light levels and subject contrast. I can tell when it's going to miss according to whether or not it refocuses (which it will do in a different place) when I repeatedly half-press the shutter without moving the camera. In these circumstances I find I get about one out of three or four shots correctly focused. Interestingly the 40/2.8 STM doesn't appear to suffer from this problem, which I've read might be caused by some particular facet of the 50/1.8's optical performance wide open.
Great review as usual. I noticed that Christopher Frost is the only reviewer to say the new STM version has slower AF than the old version. That has been my observation as well. I have to assume that people are so thrilled with the smoother, quieter STM AF, they don't even notice it is actually slightly slower than the old version. While it is slightly slower, I much prefer the new STM AF on this lens as it is still fast enough for most types of photography.
Thank you again for an excellent review Christopher. I have had my Canon 70D for less than a year and you have opened my eyes as to what lens to purchase. I recently picked up a Canon 50mm F1.8 STM lens based on your review. I admire those who can take a complicated subject and bring it down so as a child can understand. Well done. I am very thankful the Holy Spirit led me to your site. Congratulations on the engagement and pending wedding.
On an APSC camera, I went for the 40mm 2.8 stm "pancake" lens instead. My reasoning is the 50mm has the angle of view as a 80mm on full frame where the 40mm is like a 64mm which is closer to a normal field of view. The 50mm is not that great wide open and the 40mm is still better in the corners than the 50mm at f/2.8. The 40mm has lower distortion as well. It is also pretty low in cost and very small. I also picked up the 24mm stm. which is also a great lens.
Appreciate this video, even though I'm a Nikon shooter...the nifty fifty is a great walkaround lens that LOVE for its compactness and sharp images...Thanks for your info!
I have the 50D and the 6D cameras and so it is great to see a review with cameras I own. Sadly, I ordered this so when I do video of my cats you won't hear the lens as it was advertised on Canon's website that STM lenses are quiet, so I'm disappointed about that. Great review
I'm new to photography with a good camera and got an EOS 400D which is in really good condition. It cam with the STM lens . This video has been helpful.
Will purchase this in a couple of days for my 1200D! Wondering how my photography will change after changing lenses. Excited to see what I can do with it :) I'm feeling really limited by the kit lens
Hate you sold your 70D, but nothing wrong with your 60D. Also the 80D may be coming out next summer anyway. But more importantly, best wishes to you and your bride-to-be on getting married soon. I truly hope the best for you both.
I just made a focus compare with Tamron 24-70 2.8 mk1 and I can tell U the canon 50mm 1.8stm much more sharper! It is not just sharper but the difference is giant!
You are a really good Photographer Christ. You know why because I watch many camera and lens rewievs and you are the only one who shoot really good images. Maybe, it came from your mastery on lenses I'm not sure.
i was waiting for your review! Hopefully i'll buy one the next week, and your review set the hype level too high :) i really can't wait to use it..thank you!
I used to own this lens and it is indeed very sharp, I gave it away to a friend. Recently I bought Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 (so that I don't have to buy every prime lens 24, 40, 50mm) and it is extremely sharp as well. Also I believe, Canon 50mm is not so much usable at F1.8 anyway. The question I have is that is this lens at F2.8 sharper than Sigma 17-50mm at 50mm F2.8?
I like this lens on my 6D, and thankfully the auto modes don't pick ƒ/1.8 since this is so much better stopped down from there. I've seldom used it on my 50D because that's my work webcam these days, but I do miss the DOF preview button, as demonstrated here.
If there was just some vignetting at f1.8, or a little more edge blur - ok. But it is actually visible less sharp and contrasty at f1.8 even in the center.
Thank you. It seems like an average lens optically, but very good for the price. The low price is nice, but you have to stop it down considerably before it gets truly sharp, vignetting is large until f/4, and distortion is higher than the 40mm. Bit of contrast issues I have seen other people say too. Photozone said the same thing as your review, optical performance is good to average, price performance is fantastic however.
With all that ghosting at 1.8 why would you even shoot with it at that? It was very soft, and while I was really considering this, especially for lower light shooting, it doesn't look like the best idea. I have a 7D and I just need a replacement lens, and super low budget so, not sure what I should do. Thanks for this in depth review!
Chris, this all nice and well. But when will you finally review the Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f/0.7? Kubrik told me it is good value for money, but I really need your review to know how it performs on my 6D!
I got the STM recently. Haven't used it a lot, but it looks nice so far (I especially like the bokeh). The only drawback I can find is that its low weight put the centre of gravity so far back that I can no longer let it rest on my fingertips when I carry it around. Not much of a drawback, but it does make a difference when I carry it around for hours on end. This is in comparison to my Sigma 50mm Art lens.
F2.8 on a 50 still shallower than on a 40mm f2.8 because of its higher focal lenght and both of them are sharp on f2.8...so it if you want a portrait lens, get the 50 1.8 stm but step down to f2.8 and the 50 still cheaper in price..... but Chris can you compare the sigma or the canon 17-50-55 2.8 between the canon 24,40,50 on f2.8...if the sigma or the canon can be a better choice than this 3 prime lens, especially the sigma has a wider focal lenght and os
2:50 The autofocus speed and noise is different for viewfinder picture taking VS video auto focusing. It's not that noisy when you are using it during video. On a canon 70D, the auto focus for video is very quiet indeed. It's not as quiet as the kit 18-55 STM, but it's a lot quieter than you tested on the 6D.
Hi Chris, thanks for the video! Excellent! Did you know, by NOVOFLEX there‘s a mount reverse adapter with electronic coupling. You could easily convert this 50 mil into a nice macro lens with or without extension tube. This also applies for the 40 mil pancake lens. Best wishes, Ralf
Bro..you have prety good voice... what mic do you use bro??? I have behringer b1 and focusrite for audio interface.. but the voice is horrible.. please reply me bro.. thanks for your honest...
Christopher Frost Photography thank you folks... i use behringer b1... but bro.. your breath and your lips sound still annoying... not clear like movie dubbing on television...
Sems like an interesting upgrade. I like your lens reviews, it's a real life approach and not these boring charts. Are you going to test teh Sigma 24-105 f4 Art soon?
Hi Chris, thanks for this excellent review? Which 50mm lenses are sharper? This lens is indeed a major improvement in its build quality compared to its predecessor. I prefer the metal mount over the plastic mount. Best wishes, Ralf
Just got one of these for my 2000D after using the standard kit lens for a few months... And as a hobbyist, my life is complete. This feels like and takes pictures like the 50mm on my '80s full manual film camera. I'm in love with this thing.
Did you need an adapter or anything?
@@slamthatspam No. EF lenses work on EF-S camera bodies.

You are a great reviewer. I know everything I was curious about it now, I’ll check your channel whenever I want to purchase a lens!
Another fantastic review. Having this lens, I think you nailed the review perfectly. I really appreciate your unbiased honest reviews.
Very informative thank you. I did not know about the different f stops providing more or less sharpness!
Very small apertures eg f20 introduces diffraction causing softness of image.
I'm sold! Thanks!
Thank you again, Chris. Great overall review as usual. God bless.

At f2 its usable in lowlight. During the day time its *excellent* at f4
Another great review. Thanks for your good work. It had made my mind several times when I chose my gear.
I love all of your reviews!
Thanks. I enjoyed your review. I hope to purchase one of these up today.
I got this the next day it was released and I like it more then the 1.4 and 1.8ll 50mm
I like this lens on my 6D, and thankfully the auto modes don't pick ƒ/1.8 since this is so much better stopped down from there. I've seldom used it on my 50D because that's my work webcam these days, but I do miss the DOF preview button, as demonstrated here.

Adriana K. I love photozone, it's pretty much my favourite site :-)
Fantastic review as always mate.
Hey chris, I heard that this new version has more aperture blades, so that's some improvement on the pentagonal bokeh from the mark 2 version
With all that ghosting at 1.8 why would you even shoot with it at that? It was very soft, and while I was really considering this, especially for lower light shooting, it doesn't look like the best idea.
I have a 7D and I just need a replacement lens, and super low budget so, not sure what I should do.
Thanks for this in depth review!
Great review Chris
You make Fantastic truly helpful informative videos! Thank you,,, Much Appreciation!!!
Blue Like Jazz!! A fine choice sir!
Nice lens, but I already own the plastic fantastic so I'll pass it.
This is the time to switch! I sold my 50MM II for 50 bucks and bought the stm for 65, great deal!
Inse van houts woah where’d you get it for 65?
The knock off does lose in comparison, but for half the price it is worth it, depending on its purpose.
Your videos are amazing! absolutely amazing. Very well done.
just bought it after seeing this video no lie just left best buy its on sale us 105$ , thanks !!!!!
+chris Doe The STM version? That's a great deal!
I was thinking of getting this lens but that auto focus noise and no stabilization turned me off
You make the best lens reviews ever. You should think of doing some nikon as well. Will surely get views. Good luck.
Great review and congrats on your engagement!
Bought it because of you!!
The travel lens package from canon includes this len and 10-18. They decrease the price right now. I already got them !
Chris, this all nice and well. But when will you finally review the Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f/0.7? Kubrik told me it is good value for money, but I really need your review to know how it performs on my 6D!
pibyte Hehe. I believe there is a hire company out there (I can't remember who) who do offer it for rent!
24mm stm + 50mm stm = best combo for affordable lenses
I got the STM recently. Haven't used it a lot, but it looks nice so far (I especially like the bokeh). The only drawback I can find is that its low weight put the centre of gravity so far back that I can no longer let it rest on my fingertips when I carry it around. Not much of a drawback, but it does make a difference when I carry it around for hours on end.
This is in comparison to my Sigma 50mm Art lens.
Really liked your presentation. Good work
Blue like Jazz, great book!
F2.8 on a 50 still shallower than on a 40mm f2.8 because of its higher focal lenght and both of them are sharp on f2.8...so it if you want a portrait lens, get the 50 1.8 stm but step down to f2.8 and the 50 still cheaper in price..... but Chris can you compare the sigma or the canon 17-50-55 2.8 between the canon 24,40,50 on f2.8...if the sigma or the canon can be a better choice than this 3 prime lens, especially the sigma has a wider focal lenght and os
Another great review,thanks chris

On a canon 70D, the auto focus for video is very quiet indeed. It's not as quiet as the kit 18-55 STM, but it's a lot quieter than you tested on the 6D.

Ray50d I want to, but I'm having trouble getting hold of one for review
Hi Chris, thanks for this excellent review? Which 50mm lenses are sharper? This lens is indeed a major improvement in its build quality compared to its predecessor. I prefer the metal mount over the plastic mount. Best wishes, Ralf
