Add some class to your growing DSLR kit, with the Canon 50mm f1.8 II lens. A very popular lens throughout history, the 50mm focal length has been favoured for travel and documentary style photography, while on an APS-C format camera, on which is it commonly seen today, it provides an 80mm equivalent which is perfect for portraits. Shooting with a single-length prime lens improves you as a photographer, requiring you to move around to find the correct framing of your images, without a zoom range to rely on. With its fast f1.8 maximum aperture, this lens is good for camera-shake-free pictures in available-light conditions, and explorations into shallow depths of field. This means tack-sharp models, in front of blurry, dreamy backgrounds!

Inside its compact and lightweight body, the Canon 50mm f1.8 II lens features a tried and true design, Utilising six elements in five groups, the lens delivers sharp and detailed images, which far outweigh what you would expect to come from a lens of its budget. Also, a quality of this optical makeup is the extremely low occurrence of distortions and aberrations. As well as the lack of damage this lens will do to your bank balance, it is also a favoured lens of many EOS shooters, due to its amazingly lightweight build. You will never feel compelled to leave this lens behind when packing, as it can easily slip into an unused area of your gadget bag, ready to leap into action with minimal notice.
