    Oh my gosh I love this thing!!!!! It is so quiet. I have an old canon 50mm II lens and it is so loud when it focuses. This one is STM which stands for SILENT. It really it silent. I am so happy with how well it focuses and how quiet it is.

    This lens takes some getting used to because it focusing in on your subject gviing you that superior blur in the background. Really suited for portraits and not for general background stuff. This is what I was looking for and I am HAPPY!

    Being the first lens I purchased for my 6D, it was an excellent choice! My style of photography is pretty straightforward without the need for zoom features, making this lens my go-to. Great specs with wonderful capabilities. Would recommend for users with general, everyday photography needs all the way to portrait professionals.

The wide f/1.8 aperture lets in more than 8x the amount of light compared to the standard zoom lens that is provided with your EOS. This results in sharper images with less motion blur and reduced need to use flash in dimly lit conditions so you can easily capture the atmosphere of a low light environment. The 50mm focal length allows you to fill the frame with your subject from a comfortable distance making it a great lens for portraits. A similar perspective to the human eye and its compact size make the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM a great everyday lens to always carry with your EOS camera. The near-silent STM (Stepping Motor) technology focuses extremely quickly when shooting photos, so you can react suddenly to capture fleeting moments. Creating high quality movies is easier with STM as it delivers steady and quiet continuous focusing, so your movies are smooth, and soundtracks only capture the surrounding sounds and not the noise of a focusing motor. The EF 50mm f/1.8 STM replaces the popular EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens which was affectionately known for giving outstanding picture quality at an affordable price. This latest version gives the same stunning photo quality but with a fast, near-silent focus motor and a more robust build that belies its price.
