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.

i post on instagram and photography is not my main source of income, so i am very happy with this lens
does the above sentence sound like you? you do not NEED L series glass
save yourself money and take this little beast everywhere you go because it’s just so easy to do it
this lens is care-free, light, has good build quality and good image quality
how much more do you need for this price? this might be the one and only lens you need as a hobbyist

In terms of sharpness (contrast), it performs well stopped down to f2.8. While it's not built like an "L" series lens, it doesn't feel cheap. Granted, it's not weather resistant, but it won't cost as much as an f1.2 either.
I ended up getting a step-up ring to fit a 58mm lens cap just to keep it consistant with my other small primes.
It compares pretty closely to the EF 50mm f1.8. Biggest advantage is that you don't need an EF/RF adapter to use it on your R-series camera body. That makes a major difference if you are trying to maintain as compact a system as possible (especially for travel).
The only challenge, where it's a prime lens, you can't zoom in or out, you have to position yourself and the camera a lot more to get the pictures you want. This lens has more of a "zoomed-in" look, so I found that I have to step back further than I'm used to, to get everything in frame. It takes a little getting used to, but the results of this F1.8 lens are very impressive and produce the type of sharpness I've been wanting to get in my photos.
If you've been searching camera lenses, you know that they can be very expensive, so with the low price of this lens, it's worth giving a try.
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.
