Kai Wong takes a look at the new and maybe improved Canon “Nifty Fifty” 50mm f/1.8 STM lens.
Unlike its predecessor, which is also referred to as the “Plastic Fantastic,” this new canon 50mm lens has a metal mount rather than a cheaper and fragile plastic one.
The new “Nifty Fifty” 50mm f/1.8 STM brings in an improved design, “super spectra” lens coating, a minimum focusing distance of 0.35m (~1.15ft), a 7-blade aperture, a weight of 160g (up from 130g for its predecessor), and STM technology for smoother and near-silent focusing motor.
