What's in the box

  • Lens and Accessories
  • Product Description

    For anyone with an EOS R series camera, add the RF50mm F1.8 STM lens to that list. As a 50mm lens it’s already compact, but as part of the EOS R System, it’s even more compact due to its compatibility with an EOS R camera body, so there’s every reason to keep it attached or put in your bag 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 to landscapes and more. Those images will stand out, too, just like you intend whether on social media or just sharing, thanks to impressive optical features like a PMo aspherical lens to suppress aberrations, coatings to reduce flaring and ghosting, and a large f/1.8 aperture for low-light shooting and circular 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.

    There is no denying that there is something special about canon L glass, any more than you can deny that it is painfully expensive. The image has a special quality to it and for professional purposes where you make your money based on the quality of those images, go to town.

    Otherwise, this lens is great and you wouldn’t be disappointed with the quality unless you took a side by side comparison with the 50 1.2, in which case you might say something like “ok I get what $1800 more gets you”.

    But as far as image quality goes, I would argue that no non professional ever *needs* the L. Art is of course subjective and what the art you create is worth is subjective until it isn’t (when you’re a professional and can put monetary value on it).

    While it’s possible that you might value the weather sealing or build quality, you could destroy 10 of these and you still won’t have spent the value of 1 L. This lens is such a value buy it’s ridiculous. Props to canon for not selling this lens for 2-3x the cost, because I would have still paid that and had no regrets.
