Canon 50mm f/1.8 II EF Lens

Don't feel fooled by the relatively inexpensive price tag that the Canon 50mm f/1.8 II EF Lens comes with, as the lens can produce high quality and sharp images. Utilizing mostly plastic for the body construction, the lens mount still feels solid and should be durable enough to withstand shock. The lens measures 2.7" x 1.6" and weighs 4.6 oz, making it Canon's shortest and lightest lens. Though the build quality is not as good as other Canon lenses, it is still good enough and should not be a hinderance for your photography needs.

The lens is equipped with five aperture blades. Coupled with the f/1.8 maximum aperture, this makes it a noticeably fast lens. There's a micro motor to power the autofocus. While it's not exactly quiet, it does its job well. On a good note, the sound will provide assurance when the focus has been locked.

One of the strongest features of the Canon 50mm f/1.8 II EF Lens is its ability to produce sharp and crisp images. It performs even better than the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM Lens.

The lens is suitable to be used for low-light indoor photography. It is especially true if no flash is required or wanted. This makes the Canon 50mm f/1.8 II EF Lens the perfect choice for indoor events. The lens is also suitable for taking full-body portraits due to its good focal length.

All in all, the Canon 50mm f/1.8 II EF Lens is a great lens for its price point without sacrificing any image quality and essential features. Its small and light body will be perfect for those who are concerned about the lack of space on their photography trip.
