Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens International Version (No Warranty)

The product is fine

Bu urunu bi kac yerden aldım ve kutularından dolayı iade ettim, ancak bu satıcıdan aldığım urun canonun kendi kutusu ve bandroluyle geliyor. Oldukca iyi bir lens temiz, ve iyi paketlenmis olarak geldi.

Se hai appena acquistato una reflex Canon o se scatti da tempo ma hai usato solo l'obiettivo del kit (il classico 18-55mm), questo 50mm f/1.8 STM cambierà il tuo modo di vedere la fotografia. È probabilmente l'obiettivo con il miglior rapporto qualità-prezzo dell'intero catalogo Canon. Perché acquistarlo: Nitidezza sorprendente: Già a f/1.8 i risultati sono buoni, ma chiudendo leggermente il diaframma (verso f/2.8 o f/4) la nitidezza diventa tagliente, superando di gran lunga molti zoom costosi. Effetto Bokeh (Sfondo sfocato): Grazie all'apertura f/1.8, permette di isolare il soggetto con uno sfondo piacevolmente sfocato. È l'obiettivo perfetto per i ritratti. Motore STM: Rispetto alla vecchia versione (il "plastic canyon"), questo modello ha il motore passo-passo (STM), che rende la messa a fuoco molto più fluida e silenziosa, un grande vantaggio se si girano video. Compattezza: È minuscolo e leggerissimo. Rende la fotocamera molto meno ingombrante e meno "aggressiva" durante la street photography o gli eventi in famiglia. Costruzione migliorata: Finalmente l'innesto è in metallo, molto più resistente rispetto alla versione precedente in plastica. Considerazioni da fare: Lunghezza focale fissa: Non c'è lo zoom. Per inquadrare dovrai muoverti fisicamente tu (il che è un ottimo esercizio per imparare a comporre l'immagine). Mancanza di stabilizzazione: Non è stabilizzato (IS), ma data l'ampia apertura del diaframma, riuscirai comunque a scattare con poca luce senza troppi problemi. Verdetto finale: È l'obiettivo che ti fa innamorare della fotografia. Che tu sia un principiante che vuole imparare a gestire la profondità di campo o un esperto che cerca una lente leggera da tenere sempre in borsa, il 50mm STM è una garanzia.

The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a compact and lightweight lens that works well for portraits, everyday photography, and low-light situations. Its wide aperture creates pleasing background blur, while STM autofocus is smooth and relatively quiet. The fixed focal length also encourages more thoughtful composition. Since this is an international version, confirm local warranty coverage before purchasing. Overall, it offers excellent image quality and value.

Nice little prime lens. Compact and lightweight. Good addition to my lenses

I'm a "prosumer" photographer, and until now, most of my work has been landscapes. Recently I wanted to branch into portraiture and whilst most of my glass is from Canon's "L" series, there was no way I was going to hand over £1K+ for the L series 50mm prime lens, for an area I'm only dipping my toe into. I was lucky enough to have a kind friend to let me try out his EF 50mm 1.8 MK II (the predecessor to the STM version of this lens) and I was pretty impressed with it, although the build quality of that pervious version leaves a lot to be desired (all plastic including lens mount and the focus drive is clunky, noisy and a bit hit and miss). This new STM version though, is nothing short of superb value for money!! Using the centre-only focus point on my Canon 77D, I was able to capture beautifully sharp images, time and time again. The focus is smooth, quiet and most important accurate and although not quite as rapid as the USM focus mechanism, still more than adequate and impressive for a lens of this budget. The bokeh on this new version is also lovely and circular, thanks to an additional 2 aperture blades compared to the previous version. It does suffer from a little CA and fringing in areas of high contrast (backlit detail near the edges of frame for example) but even my L glass exhibits this and with Canon's Digital Photo Professional 4 software (or the appropriate lens profile uploaded to the camera), this can be well controlled. I've seen good reviews of the cheaper, Chinese brands that compare with this lens and I'm sure they can produce good results. But for me, I prefer to stick to a brand I know and trust, and generally I've been happy with Canon lenses and did not want to diverge from the brand. I'm glad I didn't as this new version of an already great value lens ticks all the boxes, and for me, solves all the shortcomings of the previous MKII version. With the exception of focus speed, I also think the STM focus drive has almost all of the advantages of the USM mechanism, hence why I didn't consider the more-than-twice-the-price 1.4 50mm USM from Canon, which seems to get mixed reviews. The focus ring on this lens is fully electronic, which means there is absolutely no mechanical connection between the focus ring and the focus drive mechanism. Instead, the ring sends a proportional focus control signal to the camera body, which then in turn proportionally drives the auto focus gear in accordance with the ring movement. This makes the focus ring beautifully smooth, seamless and continuous, and also means it can be complete disabled in the camera software (assuming your body supports turning off manual focus override) which means you cannot bump the focus whilst handling the lens during shooting. If like me, you want a lens to take beautiful portraits with, I can only sing this lens's praises. As the cheapest lens I own, it also now ranks as one of my favourites and it's very easy to forget how inexpensive this lens is, when you see the quality of images it can produce!
