Description

A Lens to Always Keep by Your Side

Some items like your keys or wallet you just take everywhere you go because you just never know. For anyone with an EOS R series camera, add the RF50mm F1.8 STM lens to that list. As part of the EOS R System, it's nice and compact thanks to its RF mount so you can shoot - and get a great shot - anywhere and anytime. Size isn't all though. As a fixed focal length lens, it lets you be creative with composition and can be used for a wide range of scenes from snapshots to portraits, landscapes to low-light situations and more. Those images will stand out, too, just like you intend whether on social media, or when sharing or printing, thanks to impressive optical features like a PMo aspherical lens to suppress aberrations, Super Spectra coating to reduce flaring and ghosting, and a large f/1.8 aperture for low-light shooting and beautiful bokeh. Pick it up and use it one time and you'll see for yourself, and you won't be able to leave the house without it.

    I order this RF lens for my Canon RP. The box it came in said RF 50mm but the lens was an EF. I was leaving for Poland the next day and wanted it to take photos. It was so beautiful there and all I have are iphone photos. Sad!!!

    The RF 50mm lens is a decent lens. It is a great lens for the price. If you are looking for a decent portrait lens but don’t plan on using it much, this is a good option.

    The most brilliant concept ever

    If you know what you are doing, you can buy this lens today, take it with you to capture some event, and return your investment the very same day. 50 mm is the focal length when people start looking good, and f/1.8 is just enough to blur the background (in most cases). F/2.8 is impressive, and this is - two times better and 20 times less expensive. Some strange reviews are complaining that the edges are soft at f/1.8. As a photographer, I know that if I'm using f/1.8 there is something important in the center and the rest should be soft. If there are several people that can fill the entire frame, you need higher f to compensate the distance anyway, thus... I don't understand the complain. Some people are complaining about vignetting, which is also your friend. Back to the lens itself. It's amazingly small, because it doesn't need the adapter and with the focusing ring becoming "a universal ring" it's completely changing ergonomics and the way camera can be used. For this price, it's unbeatable.

    Good, inexpensive 50

    This is a very good lens for the price. It's reasonably sharp, but not necessarily tack sharp wide open, but stop down a little bit it performs very well in the center and edges. It's a very good, inexpensive all around lens. It does not have stabilization, so on a non stabilized body like my RP, you'll have to shoot at faster speeds ( and correspondingly higher ISOs) than you may prefer. It's inexpensive enough that it makes a great fast complementary lens to the 24-105f7.1, and takes up minimal space in a camera bag. As an advanced amateur, I'd recommend this to anyone short of people who make their living with their gear.

    I'm using this on the RP body. Reviews are so mixed on this lens that I really didn't know what to expect. Some lenses do not test well on technical reviews but work wonderfully in real world use. This is one of those lenses. My first image blew me away. I'm very happy. It feels good in hand and appears to be well made. It's just a great low element count lens that produces beautiful true to life images. Don't judge it by its price. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is due to its widely known f/1.8 shortcomings. I don't shoot at f/1.8 so I don't care. Highly recommended!

    After purchasing the new to me Canon EOS RP with the RF 24-105 this was the next lens I decided to get after reading the positive reviews and knowing that a 50mm is a lens that has always been part of my equipment in the past. I can only say it has turned out to be a sound decision and the lens is going to get a lot of use.

    I bought this lens last week for me canon EOS R and I must say after watching many talking head videos i was starting to regret the purchase before it arrived. Now that I have it and have had the chance to use it all I can say is wow. It is an incredibly small lens on the R and is very discrete. The image quality is sharp and amazing for both portraits and landscape. I think this is a must have lens its small and sharp. I do not at all regret this purchase. I only wish hat it came with a lens hood.

    Not the best but not the worst. This lens fit a niche as a light and bright 50mm. I'd say the EQ is reasonable but not what one can get from far more expensive and heavier options. But, it is easy to carry and works.
