For anyone with an EOS R series camera, add the RF50mm F1.8 STM lens to that list. As a 50mm lens it’s already compact, but as part of the EOS R System, it’s even more compact due to its compatibility with an EOS R camera body, so there’s every reason to keep it attached or put in your bag so you can shoot – and get a great shot – anywhere and anytime. Size isn’t all though. As a fixed focal length lens, it lets you be creative with composition and can be used for a wide range of scenes, from snapshots to portraits to landscapes and more. Those images will stand out, too, just like you intend whether on social media or just sharing, thanks to impressive optical features like a PMo aspherical lens to suppress aberrations, coatings to reduce flaring and ghosting, and a large f/1.8 aperture for low-light shooting and circular bokeh. Pick it up and use it one time and you’ll see for yourself, and you won’t be able to leave the house without it.
Compact, Lightweight Fixed 50 millimeter Focal Length Lens.
Large F, 1.8 Aperture for Low-Light Photography and Creative Background Blur
A Stepping Motor (Gear-Type STM) Provides Smooth and Quiet Continuous AF During Video Recording, As Well As When Shooting Photos
Control Ring for Direct Setting Changes
Optimized Lens Placement and Coatings Help Deliver Outstanding Color Balance, While Minimizing Ghosting and Flare
Lens Compatible with the Mirrorless EOS R System (EOS R100, EOS R50, EOS R10, EOS R7, EOS RP, EOS R8, EOS R, EOS R6, EOS R6 Mark II, EOS R5, EOS R3, EOS R5 C)

Nifty Fifty, doing Nifty Fifty thing
The Nifty Fifty is an incredible little lens that punches well above its price point. For portraits or isolating subjects, the sharpness and background blur it delivers are stunning. Itâs lightweight, compact, and feels like the perfect travel companion for any photographer wanting something simple but powerful.That said, itâs not without its limitations. On an APS-C camera, the 50mm becomes more like a 75mm equivalent, so it feels quite “zoomed in.” This makes it less practical for tight indoor spaces or wide shots when you’re working in close quarters. If youâre in a small room and trying to fit a group of people or a wide scene into the frame, youâll find yourself constantly backing up or hitting walls.Despite this, the Nifty Fifty is an essential tool if you understand what itâs built for. Its optical quality at this price is phenomenal, and itâs perfect for portraits, detail shots, or anything where compression and subject isolation shine. Just keep in mind the cropped field of view on APS-C sensors, and youâll get a lot of joy out of this lens.

Light and reliable.
This is a great first lens for anyone getting into the Canon RF system. It really helps you take amazing photos and the focal length teaches you to see composition and shoot properly. This is the first lens everyone should own.It is light and quick to focus. It is tack sharp at all apertures and the control ring can be set to a variety of options.This is my favorite lens and I love it.

Compact lens, decent performance
I love the small size. Images are sharp at wide open, but bokeh isnât so nice. Good lens for the price and the light weight/slim profile. I prefer the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 with adapter (EF-R)

Great starter lens option
I am new to photography and wanted a lens that I didnât have to worry about focus and zoom. This is a great lens for portrait pictures. I mostly use my camera for pictures of my kids/family.I will eventually upgrade to a zoom lens, but for now this is great. You just have to move closer and further to your subject to get the correct distance for your shot. It is also much cheaper than a zoom lens. Definitely enough to get a great photo!

No complaints at all
A lot of youtube reviewers chastise this lens as slow focus and not great quality, but they get things for free so don’t trust them, they’re always going to knock lower-cost gear. This lens works great. yes, the auto-focus can be a bit slow in low light, but it’s $200 and unless you’re some sort of pro sports photographer, it’s not THAT slow. The end result is what matters, and it does lock on focus very well, and images/video is very sharp. That’s all you need. I use it for studio interview videos on a tripod mostly, once it locks in the eye focus, it never loses it and the f/1.8 gives me a lot of variance in lighting. If you’re on a budget, but have the Canon R line of cameras, don’t be afraid of this lens. Give it a shot.
