Review on πŸ“Έ Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens with Speedlite EL-100: Ultimate Photography Bundle by Adam Listopad ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I should have looked for better, I spent my money on a mediocre product.

Instead of this one, I would recommend taking the 40/2.8 STM because it is more suited for crop photography. Because of its relatively compact size, the Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Lens is an excellent choice for taking group portraits as well as serving as a general purpose lens. This type of the 50 mm f/1.8 STM is appropriate for use with entire frames and might even be used for half-length portraits. In general, I took it home with me, tested it, and then returned it to the store a week later with the note "the product did not fit according to the characteristics."

Pros
  • It seems to have more substance than the previous 50/1.8.
Cons
  • Because full frame causes the corners to become less bright and the sharpness at the edges to be inferior to that of the older 50/1.8 lens, I do not believe that the picture has improved. On a hole smaller than 2.5 millimeters, it is not particularly sharp even in the center; on holes 2.8 millimeters and larger, the level of sharpness is equivalent to that of a 40/2.8 STM. When you focus, everything slow down and become more silent. Let's say the EF-S 18-135 STM is rather quiet when it's focusing in general. Although the image quality is not significantly superior than that of the older plastic 50/1.8 lens, it may be slightly more precise in focusing in low-light conditions.
