PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
 The wide f/1.8 aperture lets in more than 8x the amount of light compared to the standard zoom lens that is provided with your EOS. This results in sharper images with less motion blur and reduced need to use flash in dimly lit conditions so you can easily capture the atmosphere of a low light environment. The 50mm focal length allows you to fill the frame with your subject from a comfortable distance making it a great lens for portraits. A similar perspective to the human eye and its compact size make the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM a great everyday lens to always carry with your EOS camera. The near-silent STM (Stepping Motor) technology focuses extremely quickly when shooting photos, so you can react suddenly to capture fleeting moments. Creating high quality movies is easier with STM as it delivers steady and quiet continuous focusing, so your movies are smooth, and soundtracks only capture the surrounding sounds and not the noise of a focusing motor. The EF 50mm f/1.8 STM replaces the popular EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens which was affectionately known for giving outstanding picture quality at an affordable price. This latest version gives the same stunning photo quality but with a fast, near-silent focus motor and a more robust build that belies its price. 

 FROM THE MANUFACTURER 
 

EF 50MM F/1.8 STM
Compact and lightweight—an outstanding walk-around lens Canon's EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a great entry into the world of EOS prime lenses. With an 80mm effective focal-length on APS-C cameras, 50mm on full-frame cameras, it's an excellent prime lens for portraits, action, even nighttime photography. Its bright maximum aperture of f/1.8 helps it not only to excel in low light, but also to capture gorgeous, sharp images and movies with beautiful background blur thanks to its circular 7-blade design. An updated lens arrangement with new lens coatings helps render images with excellent color balance, plus minimized ghosting and flare. Performance is brilliant, with a stepping motor (gear-type STM) to deliver near silent, continuous Movie Servo AF for movies plus speedy, smooth AF for stills. A redesigned exterior with improved focus ring placement makes manual focus adjustments a breeze. Canon's most compact 50mm lens, the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM has a rugged metal mount, plus an improved minimum focusing distance of 1.15 ft. (0.35m) and a maximum magnification of 0.21x. Offering sharp performance for the best in movies and stills, it's a fixed focal length gem—the perfect lens for photographers and moviemakers to expand the creative possibilities with their EOS cameras.

 On a full frame, a camera stop down to F 2.8 for an improvement and F 4 for bright corners. The lens is able to focus as closely as 45 centimeters the same as the mark 2 lens, but nowhere near as close as the new STM lens close-up image quality is a touch fuzzy at F 1.8, but at F 2

8 for more clarity more again at f/4 and at F 5.6. Those corners are sharp. So, as I said, the normal performance for canons classic 50 millimeter F, 1 point 8 lens design

 Just for your interest. Here'S canons newest STM version of the lens in action, the STM focus motor is actually just a tiny bit slower than the mark 2 lens and about the same speed as the mark 1. However, of course the STM motor is far quieter. Overall, I would say that the older Mark, one new version of this lens - is definitely preferable to use over there mark 2 version

 Well, the mark 1 and Mark 2 versions of these lenses have the same optics but a different, build quality, and that's why this old Mark 1 version is still surprisingly popular over on ebay. It'S considered to have superior build quality, it looks a little chunky and old-fashioned, but this lens still manages to be very small and light, and it does feel slightly less plasticky than the mark 2 version. The front glass element is quite deeply recessed, offering a bit more protection from knocks and scratches or blaring from sunlight. One of the big differences is that it has a metal lens mount rather than a plastic mount found on the mark 2 version

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 Mark 1 - The Original - lens review with samples (Full-frame and APS-C)

8 lens and am blown away by how much cleaner and crisper it is than the 18-45 kit lens. Now when I edit footage I can tell the difference in lighting and video quality from the two lenses. Everything is on a tripod for what I shoot so I don't need a zoom. Should I get a Canon 24mm 2

8, or will it produce the same image quality as the kit lens? The 24mm is not expensive so I don't know how much of a difference it will make from my kit lens. 

I'm new to video shooting here. Just bought a Canon 50mm 1.8 lens and am blown away by how much cleaner and crisper it is than the 18-45 kit lens. Now when I edit footage I can tell the difference in lighting and video quality from the two lenses

Is the 24mm f2.8 lens that much better than the kit 18-45mm?

People are suggesting a 70-200 and that would be my recommendation for football or soccer, but for basketball usually you should put yourself courtside near the basket.

So right now I currently shoot with a Canon Rebel t7 to shoot indoor basketball. Problem is most of the gyms I shoot in a pretty dimly lit and the camera doesn’t perform that well in low light. So what budget camera could handle low-light situations and can also have quick af in low light?

Need Help looking for a new camera

You can get a cheap flash on Amazon; I bought a Neewer NW680 for very little cash (I think it was around £30 - £50) - I don't use it much in the types of photography I usually do, but when I'm trying to get indoor shots of my dog, it's very useful; excellent value for money considering how much a Canon Speedlite flash can cost.  You may think the pop-up flash built into your T6 will do just fine, but an add-on flash offers so much more flexibility, and would be a good complement for your doll shots.

Your T6 is a decent camera (I started with one); what's likely holding you back is your lenses.  The 18-55mm kit lens is competent at best at most things, but not brilliant at any of them, and the 75-300mm telephoto is arguably the worst lens Canon have ever made for the EF mount.

Long story short, 5 years ago i bought a canon t6 with an 18–55 and a 75-300 mm lens and i regretted it several months later. i still have it, i still use it, but man, the quality of the photo sucks so bad. it’s so pixelated and noisy, and it lacks the sharpness I’d love to have while shooting. 
3 years ago, I used a much nicer camera, and a much nicer lens. It was a canon model but honestly I don’t even remember what it was. I LOVED IT. It fit my skill set much nicer (I’m no professional but lemme tell you, the t6 ain’t it for me) and the photos were so sharp and beautiful. 

I don’t shoot humans, animals, sports, micro things, landscapes, retail, weddings, etc etc. I shoot 18” dolls :) Not quite micro, and definitely not human. 
I would love to invest into a camera//lenses that are great for stopmotions//b-roll//sharper shots//
and would love to have capabilities to shoot in low light, and i’d love to just have an awesome time with photography and videography. 
- the canon m50 seems like the obvious next step. While it is, (it seems great don’t get me wrong) but the step up isn’t big enough.) I’m not willing to spend thousands upon thousands, but I’m willing to make the step up for me to grow into it. I want to be challenged in terms of growth, not restrictions. I get that to be a good photographer, you need to adapt and utilize what you have, but I’ve done everything I could. At this point, it’s hard to grow when your own gear is the type where it’s grain/noise prone. And other things like no flip out screen etc. 
- i think i want to stick to canon, but my mind is open to Sony. 
- the 50mm lens sounds like my next step no matter what, but i am debating between the .4 and .8.

there’s a lot more i have to say but i’m tired and i assume nobody will read this anyways lol

What should I invest in?

Just received lense and I had to try it out immediately. It is lightweight but high quality. Images appear sharp. The focus ring is wide enough to get a good feel while forcing

Big Bang for your Buck

Nice fast lens. The autofocus is a bit slow and struggles in dimlighting, but then again, can’t beat the price compared to a USM lens. I’m just starting out and it’s perfect for me.

 That's a bit closer than the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM ($399.00 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window) , which focuses to about 18 inches.

8 STM and, if you prefer a slightly tighter field of view, the EF 40mm f/2.8 STM, are better choices there, and both are quite affordable. Full-frame shooters have made more of an investment in a camera system, and are better off spending a bit more on the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM or our Editors' Choice, the Sigma 50mm f/1

Image QualityI used Imatest to examine the 50mm f/1.8 STM's optical performance when paired with the full-frame EOS 6D ($1,699.00 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window) . At f/1

7 ounces, and supports 49mm front filters. Canon doesn't include a lens hood, but you can buy the ES-68 hood for $29. The lens mount is metal, an upgrade over the plastic mount used by the EF 50mm f/1.8 II USM

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Review

 From the moment I picked up the lens, I knew that it was a complete redesign from the old model, and it sure needed it. On the rear of the lens we now have a metallic mount, something I’m so glad to see. Moving up from the plastic mount has increased it’s weight slightly, but also hugely increases the longevity of this lens. On the front we’ve now got a 49mm filter thread, which is even smaller than the old 52mm thread

  The bokeh looks fantastic, chromatic aberation has been greatly reduced compared to the old version, and vignetting if almost no existent. Once you knock it down to around f2.8 this lens is about as sharp as you’d get for any lens around this price range. Colours are handled very well as well and can really pop if you get them in the right conditions

 On the new 50 stm this has now been upgraded to 7 rounded aperture blade and I’ve found that it produces some lovely bokeh. It’s very smooth and very creamy, and because it’s not a funny shape, it’s also not so distracting. Now to me it’s not a huge deal because I didn’t mind the old 50’s bokeh shapes, but I guess it is a nice upgrade.  AUTOFOCUS: Of course one of the biggest new changes to this lens is the inclusion of an STM or stepping motor

 Where as on the old nifty fifty the closest you could get was 45cm away, now the new model you can take photos from around 35cm. And paired up with a crop sensor body like the Canon 70d, you can really get some nice close up shots with lens before investing in a dedicated macro solution.  BOKEH: Now even though the nifty fifty was a cheap lens, it still produced some fantastic images with a very shallow depth of field. It’s bokeh was a little funny though because it only had 5 aperture blade

A massive upgrade from the 50 1.8 - if you have one, it's time to upgrade :)

 Having that much aperture opens up an entire world o possibilities and because is a static lens, you are forced to be creative with your angles and positioning. Let alone the affordability of this lens, I would recommend this to anyone interested in buying their first lens.

I am a beginner photographer myself and recommend this lens to anyone getting into photography. This is a game changer of a lens.

 Nice detail is that there are grooves on the bottom part of the lens to provide more grip while you are mounting the lens on the camera, because the area where you can grip the lens while mounting it is pretty short, there is no switch to turn the autofocus on and off, you can do that in the camera, but it is not image stabilized. On Sony cameras it provides full functionality, so the autofocus works in every mode, including face detection, eye autofocus does work, face tracking works as well and so does the clear image zoom which works with every lens on Sony a6500. And now let's take a look at the performance, instead of the paper tests I will test it in real world using our testing landscape and the central sharpness is very good right from f1.4

 So first of all what is it? Well it is wide angle lens with 24mm full frame equivalent focal length and very wide f1.4 aperture, that means that it lets in a lot of light and it can blur the background even at that wide 16mm focal length. It is made mostly of metal, the rear part of this lens is fully metal up to the rubberized focusing ring, the build quality of this lens is top notch, it feels incredibly solid, it feels like a premium product, matte black surface finishing is very nice and it will probably be quite durable, it has some heft to it, it is actually pretty small considering that it is wide angle lens with such wide aperture, because there has to be a lot of glass to concentrate all of that light onto the sensor. The length of this lens is 92

4 center sharpness is very good and stop down it is razor sharp from corner to corner, it is also very suitable for landscape shooting, autofocus with this lens on a6000 series cameras is excellent in both stills and video and this lens also provides full functionality as if it was Sony lens. For me this lens also changes usability of Sony aps-c cameras, where the lens selection is generally perceived as a weakness of the system and now there is finally a specialized wide angle wide aperture lens available for the system, until now only Fujifilm had 16mm f1.4 lens for aps-c and it costs more than twice as much as sigma 16mm f1.4, not even Canon and Nikon make one, there is a Leica 12mm f1

 Overall the build quality is excellent, there is nothing that I could complain about, lens hood is also supplied and the quality of the lens hood is also very good like on other Sigma lenses that I've tested, there is also 67mm filter thread for mounting filters. In terms of handling and controls, there is just the focusing ring, it is extremely smooth, it takes up half of the length of the lens, the amount of resistance and the travel of the ring are in my opinion perfect, so this lens is very suitable for manual focusing and in Sony a6500 it also shows the focusing distance scale on the display, focus peaking and focus magnification are available as well. Nice detail is that there are grooves on the bottom part of the lens to provide more grip while you are mounting the lens on the camera, because the area where you can grip the lens while mounting it is pretty short, there is no switch to turn the autofocus on and off, you can do that in the camera, but it is not image stabilized. On Sony cameras it provides full functionality, so the autofocus works in every mode, including face detection, eye autofocus does work, face tracking works as well and so does the clear image zoom which works with every lens on Sony a6500

Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN Review ft. Sony A6500 - Very Impressive Wide Angle Lens for E-mount

4 are very satisfactory, comparable to the shots I make with my preferred Sony 28 mm f2. Update: I tested it over the weekend and I am impressed. The small photos here might not tell, but the actual size pics show that lens is very sharp at low light even when wide open, and there are close to no chromatic aberrations at high contrast. A wonderful lens I can highly recommend!
