The Canon EF 50mm lens is a 50mm standard lens with a speedy f/1.8 maximum aperture. It is the perfect length for users who like working with a fixed focal length. The optical design is a traditional Gauss-type which produces sharp, focused pictures even when wide open. Photographers can use this lens to achieve extreme close-ups. It allows users to focus in on objects as close as 18 inches away. The shots produced by this lens are detailed, natural looking and have an incredible color balance.
The lens is compact at 2.7 inches in diameter. It also weighs only 4.6 ounces so is the perfect light-weight companion for any photographer. The image produced is sharp when stopped down, especially in the centre. The quality of the EF 50mm lens and its technology also means there is reduced chromatic aberration in shots and a low distortion. The low vignetting will also make the lens suitable for photographers who have cameras with an APS-C.
With its fantastic balance of colour and sharp, focused images, the Canon EF 50mm lens provides shots that are surprisingly close to how you would see the image with your own eye. Perfect for portraits and shots that require natural depth, the lens gives you all the hallmarks of Canon quality without users having to spend a fortune.
The Canon EF 50mm lens is one of the cheapest products on the market. While price can sometimes be an indicator of quality, this product far outshines its more expensive counterparts in terms of value for money. Comparable lenses sell for far more and offer very little difference in quality or technology. With great optics and an even better price, the Canon EF 50mm lens is the perfect classic standard prime lens to use with Canon cameras and comes with a one year warranty.
