All of the STM lenses are leaps and bounds better than their non-STM predecessors optically, but are focus-by-wire, and so take some getting used to when manually focusing. They work across the board, but as noted above are really optimized for the AF in the newer cameras.

The STM lenses certainly have advantages (like better coating, more pleasing bokeh and perhaps smoother focusing) but Canon says "the optics of the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM are the same as the original EF 50mm f/1.8 and EF 50mm f/1.8 II."
