## Description

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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this lens fit Eos m50 if using a mount adapter? Also has anyone tried it gor videos and is it loud?**
A: No.  RF  is only for EOS R cameras. 

There is an EF 50mm STM that is half the price that will adapt to an M50.

**Q: Sirve para la t5i?**
A: No. Este modelo solo funciona en la linea mirrorless de canon! RP, R, R6 y R5

**Q: Does it come with the lens Hood?**
A: No, Canon only includes a lens hood with the more expensive L-model 'professional' lenses.

**Q: Will this fit on rebel eos t7 or t7i?**
A: No! If you need a 50mm lens for your Rebel, Just get the EF version that canon has been making for years and years. (EF 50mm f1.8 STM). It fits on crop-sensor with a 1.6X crop so it will be an 80mm equivalent field of view. It is also only $125 now that the RF version is  basically replacing it.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NIFTY FIFTY performs more like a lens "half its age" !! :)
*by S***3 on September 11, 2025*

This lens stays on my camera → I guess you can say my camera has "resting nifty fifty face"!! If something happens in an instant, it will be shot with the 50mm first ( even at night when running & gunning, although specific astrophotography (how fun is this stuff?!) will call for other options.The 50 isn't a "necessary evil" - it's a optional privilege! I wish every company sold one of their best entry-level products that often outshines items (lenses) of much higher prices → wouldn't that be amazing?!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome for the Price
*by E***T on August 19, 2025*

It's a cheapie lens, so I lowered my expectations. However, I have been very impressed. The results have been fantastic. I was especially excited to try my hand at images of the Aurora and Comet A3, using a full-frame Canon R6. The results were stunning. The trade-off with cheaper lenses, is slight focus softening toward the corners and coma toward the corners. (Coma is a lens aberration that causes wing-shaoed light-flaring around stars). The thing is, Canon's exceedingly expensive RF lenses are hardly any better! So this will be my astro-photography lens of choice until Canon can fix their so-called "premium" lenses.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best lens for the money. 10/10
*by P***. on September 8, 2025*

Shot this photo of my dog on my Cannon EOS RP full frame camera. The lens is amazing for $230. I look like a professional photographer now with this lens. Very high quality lens and has an amazing blur in the background. It’s a great upgrade from the lens that comes with the camera.
