Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens (Canon RF)

The Canon 4515C002 is a 50 mm f/1.8 prime lens created for the RF mount, offering a familiar perspective that works for portraits, travel, street photography, and video. Its design stays small and light, so it slips easily into a jacket pocket or day-to-day camera bag and never feels heavy on the front of a mirrorless body.

A wide f/1.8 aperture lets you keep shooting when the light fades and helps separate your subject from the background with smooth bokeh. Photographers who enjoy available-light portraits, indoor events, or night scenes will appreciate the extra stop of brightness compared with a standard zoom.

The optical formula includes a precision-molded aspherical element that keeps edges sharp and controls distortion. Canon’s Super Spectra coating cuts flare and ghosting, so colors stay accurate even when you point the lens toward backlit subjects or city lights.

An STM stepping motor handles autofocus quickly and almost silently, which is helpful for candid stills as well as on-camera dialogue or vlogs. The minimum focus distance of 11.8 inches lets you move in close for detail shots without changing lenses, and a rounded seven-blade diaphragm maintains a pleasing out-of-focus rendition.

A programmable control ring sits at the front of the barrel. You can assign it to adjust aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation, giving you direct control without searching through camera menus. At only 5.6 oz, the lens balances well on every RF body, from compact APS-C models to full-frame flagships, making it an easy choice for creators who value image quality with minimal effort.
