  • Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Black :

    Lightweight and affordable, this sharp lens with a fast f/1.8 aperture is an excellent first lens for those who prefer a fixed focal length, and makes an excellent addition to any photographer’s system for available-light shooting. A traditional Gauss-type optical design ensures sharp performance even when wide open, and it focuses as close as 18 inches (0.45m).

    This is the lightest EF lens of all at a mere 130g. Compact and high-performance, standard lens. Its Gaussian optics provide sharp delineation from near to far focusing distances. The color balance is excellent for a standard lens.

The 50mm focal length delivers standard coverage on a full-frame body, or 80mm equivalent on a Canon APS-C body, which acts like a short telephoto. The f1.8 focal ratio can deliver a very shallow depth-of-field, allowing you to place a sharp subject again...
