The EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens is also a standard prime lens made by Canon and designed for use with Canon EOS cameras. It is similar to the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens in terms of focal length, but is more affordable and compact. The lens has a maximum aperture of f/1.8, which is also good for low-light situations and creating shallow depth-of-field effects. The lens uses a stepping motor (STM) for smooth and quiet autofocus, which makes it suitable for both photo and video shooting. The lens has a metal mount and is constructed with six elements in five groups, including a glass-molded aspherical element, which helps to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion. The EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens is a popular choice for photographers who want an affordable, high-quality lens for portrait, travel, and street photography.
