    Un lente de combate, excelente objetivo con un precio sumamente accesible. Algo plasticoso y ligero, pero con la ventaja de tener estructura metalica (cosa que el modelo anterior no tenia) El anterior lo tuve que descartar precisamente porque una pestaña del engrane se trozo... Amazon de nuevo ha atendido mi pedido de manera amable (chats de consulta) y entrega...

    Havent had the full chance to go get some really tough shots with it, but the bokeh is super creamy, it manages to add great depth and make your subject really stand out. The detail is unbelievable and the pictures all come out crisp and smooth. I do recommend opening up your aperture more for bigger subjects as the lens could blur out the edges. The stepping motor is very very loud though, but that doesnt really bother me. For the money, this lens is totally worth the investment from hobbyists to pros.

    This is a great lens. It is so easy to run around with and shoot great photos Light-weight, fast focus, and good for low-light situations. With the 1.8 can get great depth of field in your pictures. I also shoot with a 70-200 2.8 and find Ive been using this one much more often. Yes it doesnt have all the telephoto but much more light-weight and nimble. Be careful shooting under F2.2 as you will only get a very specific point in focus. Everything else will appear blurry. I usually shoot around 2.8 for good close-up shots.

    Ive had the old 50mm f/1.8 lens from canon for many years and I decided to buy the newer model (STM) based on many reviews and I was not disappointed at all: the STM lens is awesome. The quality of the image is very good and it corrects the main problem of the old model: the focus speed. While the old lens sometimes took ages to focus (specially in low light conditions), the STM focus is almost instantaneous.

    Really like this lens. I think its a big step up from the older nifty fifty. A solid contender to the more expensive 50 1.4. Smaller, metal mourning plate, quieter and better autofocus (IMHO). Larger focusing ring when focusing manually. No-brainer for the money.

    Good quality

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.

From the Manufacturer

EF 50mm f/1.8 STM

Compact and lightweight—an outstanding walk-around lens Canon"s EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a great entry into the world of EOS prime lenses. With an 80mm effective focal-length on APS-C cameras, 50mm on full-frame cameras, it"s an excellent prime lens for portraits, action, even nighttime photography. Its bright maximum aperture of f/1.8 helps it not only to excel in low light, but also to capture gorgeous, sharp images and movies with beautiful background blur thanks to its circular 7-blade design. An updated lens arrangement with new lens coatings helps render images with excellent color balance, plus minimized ghosting and flare. Performance is brilliant, with a stepping motor (gear-type STM) to deliver near silent, continuous Movie Servo AF for movies plus speedy, smooth AF for stills. A redesigned exterior with improved focus ring placement makes manual focus adjustments a breeze. Canon"s most compact 50mm lens, the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM has a rugged metal mount, plus an improved minimum focusing distance of 1.15 ft. (0.35m) and a maximum magnification of 0.21x. Offering sharp performance for the best in movies and stills, it"s a fixed focal length gem—the perfect lens for photographers and moviemakers to expand the creative possibilities with their EOS cameras.
