Kevin Carter has just posted a review of the “Thrifty fifty” Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens at the DxOMark. With a DxOMark lens score of 27 points on the Canon EOS 5D Mk III, the EF 50mm f1.8 STM is optically very good.
Conclusion from DxOMark“The new STM version doesn’t quite match the recently-updated Nikon AFS Nikkor 50mm f1/.8G in its aspirations or price (the Nikkor is available now for around $220); however, Canon has enhanced the look and feel and replaced the old micro-motor with a stepper type. Best of all, the image quality is practically identical and at $129, it remains a steal...”
