Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM Just Arrived

[Mike2000]

As I posted in another thread, my copy is just arrived and I wrote two lines about first impressions on my little blog: http://www.mbelloni.com/2015/05/22/canon-ef-50mm-f1-8-stm/

I'll keep it updated with fresh photos and informations.

Thank you.

Thanks for sharing! Been curious about it myself as I LOVE 50mm, but currently no nice option with AF for Canon, always nice to see new 50's !

Can't remember if I'd already read it anywhere but does the barrel retract automatically like the EF-M 22mm or does it need to be done manually?

The barrel doesn't retract automatically, sadly. It must be manually or with half pressed AF button on your camera before turn it off.

I've just added a REAL QUICK comparison between the 50mm f1.8 STM and the 50mm f1.2L USM (handheld, stupid photos when I was still in pajamas ;D ).

I'll keep that page alive with new photos and personal feedbacks.

Just added a quick video for the sound of STM AF Motor at the end of the page: http://www.mbelloni.com/2015/05/22/canon-ef-50mm-f1-8-stm/

I update my blog with some new shots (and 100% view). Taken on the streets, there is some post production but only in colors or B&W conversion and artificial vignetting. I've added some thoughts too.

Good reading (and forgive my bad english).
