  Basically, it is the ef 50mm stm refreshed for Canon's eos r series. It has better construction than the ef or at least that's how it feels in my hands. Otherwise, in terms of size and weight, it is more or less the same, as well as in the image it produces, it is more or less the same as the ef. It is a cheap but quite decent rf lens that I wouldn't say is a must-have, but if you have it, it definitely won't sit collecting dust on the shelf. The negatives are the autofocus, which is just mediocre in every aspect, and the motor, which is noisy. For amateur use, it is just fine; for professional use, I wouldn't recommend it.

  Excellent lens. With quality construction and given its low price, you get a decent lens both in photography and in video. Clearly, it cannot be compared to the expensive range, but overall, in its category, it is just fine.

  5 stars more for the price-performance ratio. There are plenty of reviews on YouTube, but the rest of the comments above will cover you.
  It is the cheapest RF replacement for the equivalent 50mm in EF version.
  Quite satisfactory photographically, but also in video, although I would expect something more, no one will be disappointed by this investment.

  Build quality miles away from the old EF 50 even though both lenses are similar in optical performance.
  The big advantage is that you don't need the adapter if you have R, R6, R5, so it significantly reduces the size and additionally you have the control ring in front (if you need it).
  On the negative side, I notice more vignetting than the EF but okay, it can be corrected to a large extent in post-processing.

  It's a bit more expensive than it should be, but the lack of options in affordable RF lenses makes it a one-way street.
