The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a compact, lightweight standard prime for Canon EF and EF-S DSLRs. Its bright f/1.8 aperture and rounded 7-blade diaphragm give smooth background blur for portraits and help in low light, and the STM stepping motor gives quiet, smooth autofocus for video. At just 159 g and under 40 mm long, it is one of the most affordable ways to move beyond a kit zoom.
Actual specifications may vary slightly depending on the specific lens mount version. Always consult the manufacturer's documentation for the most accurate data.
