Switching to this from the RF 24-240 felt like I was only holding the camera body, very light weight. Also very capable indoors with only artificial lighting, which I sorely needed-- no fun having to use a flash all the time. Easy choice for an excellent prime.

I compared this to a Nikon AIS 50mm (w/ adapter) on my Eos R - not much difference. Focus is really quick. Colors are great out of this. Love it! And really affordable.

What a fantastic lens for the money the colors just POP.

Is amazing lens I am in love because is very sharp and low light is wonderful

After purchasing the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens from B&H Photo on March 29th, 2024, I’ve had ample time to put this nifty fifty to the test, and it's safe to say it exceeds expectations. This lens is a fantastic addition to any photographer's kit, especially for those shooting with a Canon RF mount.

First off, the sharpness of this lens is phenomenal. Whether I’m capturing portraits or detailed landscapes, the clarity and detail are impressive. The f/1.8 aperture not only allows for great low light performance but also offers that gorgeous, creamy bokeh that every photographer craves. It’s perfect for creating that professional-looking depth of field without breaking the bank.

The build quality, while lightweight and compact, feels sturdy in hand—a big plus for someone like me who is constantly on the move. Its small size makes it an easy carry, ensuring I never leave it behind.

Autofocus performance with the STM motor is snappy and silent, a feature I truly appreciate when capturing video. The focus ring is responsive and smooth, making manual focusing a breeze.

B&H Photo made the purchasing process smooth and hassle-free. Their customer service was informative and friendly, providing great advice when needed. The lens arrived quickly and in perfect condition, packed securely to ensure safe transit.

The Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM is an extremely versatile, lightweight lens that punches well above its weight class, offering exceptional value for money. It’s a must-have for both budding and seasoned photographers. Thanks to B&H for the seamless experience!

I had a 50mm EF lens years ago and it did not focus accurately so I did not use it. This lens , however, focuses fast, accurately and silent. It is sharp and produces great color and contrast. I really like it. It has renewed my desire for fast prime lenses. It is soooo much lighter than my 24-70 f2.8 L . This lens on the R8 is a great lightweight package.

As a photographer, I'm always on the lookout for lenses that combine quality, versatility, and affordability. The Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens is a remarkable piece of equipment that exceeds expectations in all these areas.

Super light - easy to transport - I loved this lens as it has very good luminosity - Personally I have always loved Canon and this lens is a very good option for its value and design.

Amazing

I have the adapter for the R5 so I could use my other canon lenses. For my first RF lens I decided on the Canon RF 50mm. I am not disappointed. lens is light, fast and a joy. Very sharp when I crop my images to interest area. Was happily surprised. I do a lot of photos around my garden and this is a nice addition. Can't wait to try with my astrophotography when the clouds leave. It doesn't disappoint
