Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens

The Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM lens is a high quality portrait, street and still life lens designed for photo and video. We hire this lens to beginners to enthusiast shooters looking to rent a lens that delivers an artistic edge to portraits and everyday objects. The large f/1.8 aperture produces a very shallow depth of field but focusing is a breeze thanks to the STM motor.

Fast, smooth focusing performance is delivered via the Stepping Motor Technology (STM) autofocus system and is why this is such a popular hire lens. The Canon EF 50mm ƒ1.8 STM is great at freezing fast action plus, with Movie Servo AF support on selected EOS DSLRs, can deliver silky smooth focusing while shooting video and is compatible with all of our Canon Hire Bodies.

The fast f/1.8 maximum aperture is constructed from seven rounded diaphragm blades to create smooth, visually pleasing background blur. Delivering a 35mm equivalent 80mm focal range when used in conjunction with APS-C sized sensors further improves its shallow depth of field performance.
