Canon RF50 mm F1.8 Evaluation

If Canon has the highest sales volume of any lens, it is the EF50 mm f/1. 8. The brand-new optical design also ensures the image quality of the lens. Today, let's take a look at the actual test of this lens.

The reasons why everyone bought EF 50 mm f/1. 8 can be roughly summarized as follows: small size, low price, blurred large aperture and good fixed focus image quality. Therefore, Canon RF50 mm F1.8 has a relatively affordable price for the lens while maintaining high-quality shooting quality. It can be used as portrait, street documentary and video shooting.

Compared with EF bayonet lens, RF50 mm F1.8 further reduces the diameter of the lens and the caliber size of the filter. It is more like a "biscuit lens". In design, the first lens of EF lens is concave. However, the first lens of RF lens no longer adopts this design, which can further improve the image quality of the lens.

Canon RF50 mm F1.8 STM lens is 40 mm long and uses 43 mm filter caliber. The lens weighs 160 g and is a rather small fixed focus lens. Compared with zoom lenses such as RF24-70 mm F2.8, this lens is a super lightweight lens.

The lens size and length are very small. This lens is different from other Canon lenses. The lens has only one control ring. The focus/custom control function can be switched through the lens keys.

This lens still uses a 7-blade aperture. the bokeh blurring of the lens itself is quite good. Bokeh light spots are round and the scattered scenes are relatively natural.

The coating color of the lens itself is green and blue-purple. However, compared with professional lenses, this lens does not use Canon's ASC coating technology, so there will be some glare when backlighting.

Although this lens is small, the overall workmanship is quite good. Moreover, when matched with the body, it can be truly lightweight and portable. The volume advantage of the ILDC can be brought into full play.

For 50 mm fixed focus lens, we don't have to worry about the image quality of the lens. This lens adopts a brand-new optical design. Thanks to the short flange distance of 20 mm at the RF bayonet, it is easier for the lens to achieve high image quality.

In the actual test, this lens has good sharpness performance when the aperture is fully opened. The lens also performs well on the edge image quality. The sharpness in the center of the lens is already good when F1.8 is fully open. The minimum aperture of the edge lens is F22. Before F16, the lens had good picture quality.

For 50 mm F1.8, one of the important reasons why everyone bought this lens is that the blurring effect of the lens is ideal. It is suitable for shooting portraits, street photography, scenery, pets, food and other subjects that need strong blurring. For this lens, the lens has a good blurring performance.

Canon RF50 mm F1.8 STM is a lightweight and compact lens with good image quality. The lens is very suitable for novice users to purchase as the second lens. It has good blurring performance and good picture quality.
