Bokeh! Great price for the newest and (based on reviews) all-round better "nifty fifty". This is around the same price you'd expect to pay for a used one and cheaper than grey imports plus includes a 5 year warranty.

Overview

For Creative Portraits and Low Light Photography.
The EF 50mm f/1.8 STM excels at portraiture, low-light photography, and adding an artistic edge to everyday objects and settings, thanks to its wide f/1.8 maximum aperture and 50mm focal length.

Key Features

Wide f/1.8 Aperture
It’s easy to capture superb portraits, or bold, artistic photos and movies with the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM – the wide f/1.8 maximum aperture provides precise control over depth of field. This means you can achive blurry, soft backgrounds, with sharp foregrounds.

Stepping Motor Technology (STM)
The EF 50MM f/1.8 STM features stepping motor technology which delivers fast, smooth, and near silent autofocus capability. This is particularly beneficial when shooting movies or shooting in live view mode.

Compact, Lightweight, Affordable
The EF 50MM f/1.8 STM has a compact and lightweight design, weighing a mere 160g, and easily slips into your bag adding very little to the overall weight of your kit. The lens’s new design compliments both Canon’s spectrum of EOS DSLRs, while the new metal mount provides a more robust connection to camera bodies.

Perfect Prime
As a prime lens, the fixed 50mm focal length provides high quality results, with enhanced visible sharpness and contrast. When paired with an APS-C EOS DSLR, the lens is ideal for portraiture, helping you capture the perfect head and shoulder composition. It’s also a useful every day ‘standard’ lens for full frame DSLRs and is great at shooting a diverse range of subjects with a natural viewpoint and perspective.

Low Light Capabilities
The f/1.8 aperture lets more light into the lens, so you can comfortably shoot in darker conditions, allowing you to shoot candid handheld shots without the use of a tripod.

Image Quality
Providing enhanced image quality, this lens features Canon’s Super Spectra Coating, which minimises internal reflections, as well as ghosting and flare. The lens also provides a minimum focusing distance of just 0.35m, allowing you to get even closer to subjects and achieve a greater level of magnification, while the 7-blade aperture delivers beautiful blur and out of focus highlights.

        My wife's diesel car did Launceston to Sydney on a single tank, so maybe, just maybe.

  • Wow really good price for this lens

  • Is anyone else like, “the f1.4 is only $246 more. I should buy that instead” ?

    And if I’m spending that much, what about the L?

    😬🙄

    Edit: I know the other 50mm’s aren’t on special. I’m
    Just getting scope creep.

      I'm pretty sure it is on sale too isn't it?
      I've been hunting for a 1.4 for ages but after watching so many reviews I've come to the conclusion that this new STM 1.8 is better than the 1.4 for me anyway even if they were the same price.

      I know what you mean about scope creep. I want a sports lens but each one I look at there is an even better one just a bit more expensive. Now I don't want to buy the ones I can afford because I'll just end up buying the better ones later.

      • Yes, the 1.4 is a POS - that's why I skipped it and went from this f/1.8 STM version…to the RF 1.2!
