The Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a compact, lightweight normal-length prime designed for Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras. With its classic 50mm field of view, it’s an ideal everyday lens for walkaround shooting, offering a natural perspective that suits a wide range of subjects.

The bright f/1.8 aperture makes this lens well suited to available-light photography while also giving you strong control over depth of field for subject separation.

Bright optics with high image quality

An aspherical element is built into the optical design to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion, delivering high sharpness and accurate rendering. To maintain contrast and colour accuracy, Super Spectra Coating is applied to minimize flare and ghosting, especially when shooting in strong lighting.

Smooth, quiet autofocus

The STM stepping motor provides fast, smooth and near-silent autofocus, making this lens suitable for both still photography and video recording. It also supports full-time manual focus override for added precision when you need it.

Built for intuitive control

A customisable Control Ring lets you adjust key exposure settings — including aperture, ISO and exposure compensation — directly from the lens, keeping essential controls at your fingertips while you shoot.

Natural background blur

The rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality, helping create smooth out-of-focus areas when working with shallow depth of field.
