Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens Review

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens.  ISO 100, f/6.3 @ 1/640.

I took the new Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens on an assignment yesterday, and all I can say is WOW! What a great performer for $125.00!

I did a comparison at different apertures - f/2.0, 2.8 and 6.3. They're posted here on my website: http://www.davidmurphey.com/canon-ef-50mm-f1-8-stm-lens-review/

Hope this helps if you're deciding on buying this little gem!

Aloha,
David

Nice shots! Looks like Canon has another winner with the 50mm F/1.8 STM

Nice shots as well, but I was expecting something better built. Id rather keep my nikon 50mm 1.8g adapted. It is kind of shameful that the canon 50mm 1.8 stm still uses a focus system where the elements get exposed out of the lens body that way. The nikon does the same, but if you put a filter on it, the focus system stays protected. The 50mm 1.4 usm does the same thing, but that's alright for a 40 years old prime lens design.
