Achieve sharp focus and create impact with out-of-focus backgrounds

• More detail - This image, shot at f/8, shows the face in focus and more details are visible in the background.
• Stand out - By f/4, the background is nicely soft, similar to a standard zoom lens.
• Maximum impact - At maximum aperture of f/1.8, the subject really stands out against a very soft background.

The lens features a bright f/1.8 aperture that allows you to create artistic images with excellent subject separation and beautifully blurred backgrounds while maintaining lower ISO settings. Its STM (Stepping Motor) autofocus system delivers smooth, accurate and near-silent focusing for both photography and video recording, while Super Spectra Coating helps reduce flare and ghosting for improved image quality. Weighing just 160g and measuring 40.5mm in length, it pairs seamlessly with EOS R-series cameras without the need for an adaptor, making it a convenient everyday companion. Thoughtfully designed with a combined focus and control ring for intuitive operation, it also features a 7-blade circular aperture for attractive bokeh and a close focusing distance of 0.3m
