Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM Review | The First Lens Every Photographer Should Buy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 апр 2021
- The Canon 50mm f/1.8 is almost always the first or second lens people buy and for good reason. It’s cheap, fast, and an amazing performer for the money. I’ll show examples and reasons why every photographer should have one in their bag.

100% agree with the title - . such an old topic but yet so eloquently presented. really enjoy watching your videos just for the way you articulate your thoughts and use case in gear related videos.
such a gem of a channel and amazing is just an understatement - nifty fifty - made special here - thanks
Yes to the r6 video. I’m thinking of upgrading from the r.
A definite yes to your thoughts on the EOS R6. I have the RF version of the 50mm F1.8 it is a nice all around lens. I think it is a bit better than the EF version which I traded in to avoid the clunkiness of the adapter. The EF 50mm f1.4 is also a good lens on the R as well. Also there is Leica M mount to RF adapter available. My copy is quite tight on the mount but it does work. You my want to investigate it and use it on some of your lens reviews. The added megapixels should help.
All the best - Rich Ball
My first EF lens was the Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro, as I like closeup shots 😊
Yes to the R6 video!! I’m getting mine tomorrow! So excited that we have matching cameras 😂
Dude your vlogging studio setup is sick. Have you done a tour/info on lighting?
great vid! I've been using the RF version of this lens on my R6 as my main lens over the RF 1.2 recently. The weight difference for a 10 hour day makes a HUGE difference and the difference in IQ (on the RF version at least) is negligible unless you're really pixel peeping.
Same setup and I couldn't be happier.
Currently have my RF 1.8 on order. Now I’m excited to try it against my 1.2
The 50mm f/1.8 for ANY camera is an important lens. Not just Canon.
True!
Thank you Benj as always! (I think you missed the video description).
A video on the r6 would be awesome!!
Yes to the R6 video.. also do you recommend the sigma 24mm???
Bought one on sale and gave it to my nephew. Haven't used a 50 mm for over four decades.
Actually yes Benj I would like a video about your experience with the R6. Especially about video usage. Dare I say I am thinking about getting that camera too. >_< It's just too darn expensive while I am still lusting over Leica glass and trying to regain a sense of priorities.
Well I Have This Lens And I Used To Shoot With It Heavily Using It With My Canon 30D Canon 1000D
And After I Bought A 35 MM And A Zoom Lens I Stoped Using It
I Guess You Reminded Me oF My Nifty Fifty So I Can Use It Again ....
I'm having this fantastic lens for so many years, I already had it on my Canon T80 in 1987 and now the last version on my EOS 250D. Besides the sharpness, the bokeh and so on, one thing must be noted that nobody at this moment talked about: the feeling of depth. For example, when you focus on a middle of a field, of a scene, both the foreground and the background will be out of focus, augmenting the feeling of depth, of relief, of reality. I never observed that with any of the lenses I have. But nobody talks of that.
I think ultimately if ya put this on 2.8 or higher for street photography it’s a decently sharp lens and once ya process photos no one can tell
It's a classic for a reason :-)
Idk about y’all I remember getting that nifty fifty for my canon Dslr a while back and within the 1st few months the autofocus just became terrible, so bad that I just resorted to manual focusing with it only.
The new one is actually awesome even on film. And most lenses are awesome on the new mirrorless
Is this lens a good fit for a Gfx camera;
I did it… after this video it keeps my mind up if I should spend my money on it (I dont make a lot of money) and It will arrive tomorrow 😂
Can you please tell us where do u get those shirtsss🔥🔥
Just H&M 😂
Great lens, even on Fujifilm GFX
Don’t agree, I tried it on the gfx, bad experience.
Made some of my best images with this lens
Looking forward to learning with this lens and my T7. Just found a shop that traded my 75-300mm canon kit lens for the ef 50mm 1.8 stm.
yes r6!
Have you played with the Tamron 45mm f/1.8 VC? Nikon G 50mm lenses are very very bleh, the Tamron is basically a $200-250 used lens that is small, compact, has VC, and a shockingly short MFD. Some might call it a character lens or rant on its rendering. I am not prone to that way of describing lenses-but I will say that it is an inexpensive lens that punches above its weight and it has flaws that are both forgivable and tend to add something to the resulting image. Very peculiar, slow to focus, but somehow still a lens I gravitate toward.
A toddler has torn a lens from the camera? The child wasn't green and angry by any chance? 😆
The EF 50mm f1.8 II is notoriously fragile. That's probably what he had (it was the standard Canon 50mm f1.8 for a couple decades). I've seen them literally fall apart in peoples hands and the plastic mount would break if you looked at it wrong.
The version 1 and the STM are both much more robust.
@@adam_mawz_maas i owned two canon lenses without metal mount for a few years and they never looked like a toddler could rip them out of the bayonet. However, it's good to know that some lenses are more fragile than others. 😀
Hi:
While I agree with you here, I will say that most photographers should just stick to taking as many photos with what they have, learn how to take a good photo then maybe think about a different lens. So much consumption and not enough production. I know the trap too well. Shooting > Buying.

Haha for sure. I agree. Just trying to make a resource library for photography stuff for when people *do* need to get something.
Don’t agree, I tried it , bad experience.
Something is wrong with your colours…
Canon never made a great 50 mm prime EF lens - the 50/1.4 suffered often AF issues, the 50/1.2 L has a beautiful bokeh but is very unsharp wide open in the center. The 50/1.8 is nothing special about IMO - only it is inexpensive as you said correctly. I have used all these versions. All was easily beaten by the Sigma 50/1.4 EF lens. Actually the best Canon 50 mm prime lens was the 50/1.4 FD manual focus lens.
