Canon 50mm 1.4 vs Canon 50mm 1.8 STM - In Depth Comparison Review

✅✅ Canon 50mm STM: amzn.to/2ztYe1r

✅✅ Top 5 Prime Lenses under $350: amzn.to/2iGxTFj
Today I test out the new Canon 50mm 1.8 STM Lens and compare it to the 50mm 1.4.
The lens is definitely going to compare well with the 50mm 1.4 and easily beats the old 50mm 1.8 II (nifty fifty).
In this video I test out the Canon 50 1.8 STM's bokeh, do some image samples, test out the video quality and test out the autofocus.
The 50mm f/1.8 STM's autofocus has greatly improved, especially when you pair the 50mm f/1.8 STM up with a camera like the Canon 70d or T6s/T6i. Video autofocus works great too.
If you want to see some image samples of the Canon 50mm STM, make sure to check the link at the top of the description as I've included over 20 for you to check out in your own time.

What'd you use to record the video? Specifically the intro. I'm looking to get something that will autofocus like when you put the lenses in front of the came and it racked focus to them then back to you. Or did someone assist you?

Hey! Nah all autofocus. Sigma 30mm 1.4 and Canon 70d. Works perfectly.

The 70D has autofocus? Dang, my 6D doesn't even have that. Btw, thanks for the speedy reply. Was thinking it would take a week, haha.

It's a $110 on Amazon, it will be the best $110 you will spend in photography.
superb, very helpful... i was currently weighing up the pros and cons of these 2 lenses. you did a great job reviewing them. thanks a lot, keep up the great work!
Thank you for this, I’m shopping for one now! Straight forward to the point with all examples clipped in! Great video!
Thank you so much for making this video! It's exactly what I needed to make my purchase decision :)
Just wanted to tell you that you are one of my go-to tutorial people in shooing video and stills. I have been doing my research on 50mm 1.8 vs 1.4 and was thinking I had to spend more to get quality. Your video let me know that isn't the case in straight forward and informative way. I will buy my 1.8 STM with confidence. Thanks for all your work

Thanks you so much for this video. I was reading all day which 50mm to get for my 70D. I was about to get the 1.4 but good thing I waited till evening. Thanks for this video for clarifying and I'm getting the 1.8 STM. So excited and will share my videos soon! Thanks Chris, you are awesome! :D
Love your quick and to the point explanations! Thanks for making this.
The f1.4 may be faster but your review was even quicker. A whip sharp review that only dwells on the relevant detail. Excellent review, thanks.

Thank you very much, Chris, Lovely informative Video without any nonsense. Fabulous delivery pace. Your Technical data acumen is so easy to grasp. Please, could you post wildlife photography videos if you have some? Best of luck.
Thanks Dude! That was a really useful comparison. I'm off to buy the newer 1.8 STM!
Thanks, bro. Just the review I was looking for.
U r simply d best dude.... even canon officials can't describe n provide this much.... happy to hear you & thank you for helping me buy the 50mm 1.8.
Great job bro Your review are just on point Just worth watching Keep it up
Gave me all the answers I needed and was overall a very well done video.
I really like your style of video. Not to hum-drum, great graphics that aren't too overdone and you don't seem like a pusher of more expensive things just because, and thats always good. Great video, and channel!

The 50mm 1.8 is AWESOME. I shot a corporate event with it this week and loved every minute 👌
Great clear & concise video - gave me just the info I needed, thanks!
I’m trying to figure out which 50mm lens I want. Thank you for this review
Just what I was looking for. Ove of my favorite reviewers. Thanks!
Thank you for this review Chris! I was pretty close to going ahead and purchasing the 1.4 until I saw this video. Now I am leaning towards the 1.8 instead.
Thanks again for a great review. Your reviews are always a pleasure to watch. I wanted to replace my 1.8 II by the new 1.8 STM but then saw the 1.4 USM. It will be the 1.8 STM for sure. I also learned from 1.4 USM owners that is very fragile and a push to the front of the lens can break it.
Great video with fantastic explanation. Thanks for helping me a lot! Great Job!
This is an awesome video I love your videos by the way which lens of these two would you recommend for indoor photography of toddlers and babies using natural light?
You are doing some awesome work on your channel. Keep the momentum going man. All the best. God bless.

Thankyou so much! I have been searching for this exact info.
thanks you so much for making this video! definitely made my mind up to go for the 1.8 even though I was just about to buy a second hand 1.4 for a really good price.
Thank you so much for that awesome review! I was debating between a1.8 STM and 1.4 USM and your review helped make up my mind. Got a 1.8 STM for $110!
Great review Chris and nice to see the cheaper option coming out on top for a change. A must buy item I think. Cheers
Thanks for your review Chris. It was very insightful.
Hey! I was wondering when you were announcing the winner of the new cameras? Love your channel and you make the best reviews :D
most helpful video regarding the 50mm stm and usm iv seen. thank you.
Very informative and helps with basic info needed Thanks for your reviews.
Excellent review, completely helped me choose between the two lenses.
Hello from France ! Thank you Chris for this useful comparison !
Straight and to the point...and very helpful. Excellent review!
I've Had the 1.8 STM ever since it came out, has been 6 months now and it's honestly the best value lens on the market. I have Access to the Monster 1.2 and I love it a lot and would say that the 1.8 is definitely the best 50 sister lens
Thank you Chris. I have one question, would you consider upgrading the older 50mm F1.8 to the newer STM 50mm F1.8 considering the use case is only for stills? Thank you.
Thank you for this comparison video, this really helps a lot!
Yes, yes and yes! Thanks for this video, I've been looking for a good comparison video and this hit the nail on the head! Subscribed!! On my way to watch more (lol!) Just wanted to say great job!
Very helpful, almost decided to buy 50 mm f1.4 now will try out f1.8 too before buying. Thanks 😊
Thanks! This review is so useful!
Thank you, I was going back and forth between the two. Picking the 1.8 STM now. :)
Hey Chris love your videos... Quick question are (Promaster Lens any good)?
Which one would you recommend for video with canon 750d? I want my videos to have a nicer depth of field. So a softer blurred background but with the ability to autofocus quickly.
Pretty nice review! Thank you for this great video! I'm for example one of these guys who stepped up from the lovely plastic fantastic 50mm f/1.8 II to the 50mm 1.4 USM for the better haptics, the better AF, 3 more aperture blades and of course the extra light I get with it 4 years ago and it was worth every penny and a great step forward. But if I had the opportunity to choose between the 1.8 STM and the 1.4 USM back then, I totally would have chosen the 1.8 STM.
thank you for this video! This is exactly what I was looking for!!
Your videos have really helped me choose between the two, I'm def. getting the new 1.8 now because I was wondering about the video quality of each and couldn't find that many comparison reviews. I love your videos and you have a great personality, can't wait to see more! =D

Hey Chris, Just wanted to say that your videos are very good. keep up the good work :)
was thinking of getting the 1.4 but after looking through numerous review, i will definitely get the 1.8 since i will be doing plenty of video works. :) very thorough review! thanks Chris! you just saved me from spending $300ish ;)
I just finished a tea, so no coffee for me :P This is just the review I needed, seeing as I have a few notes to spend, and I been wanting a newer 1.8 for a while now, so thanks for this! :D
What lens are your using to film the intro? The focusing was fast and quiet. I have one of the older Sigma 50mm 1.4 lens and it makes a lot of ticking noise which is really loud in my videos
Man! Such a well made video and so informative. Its 1.8 STM for me. Thank you!
Thanks alot Chris for this fantastic review of both lenses! Having recently bought the 70D camera I was thinking of buying a prime lens, but doubting between the 1.4 and the new 1.8 STM. Your awesome review got me over the line to go for the 1.8 STM :D

Hi Chris, would you recommend the 50 f1.8 STM w/ Canon 6d mark ii?
Hello Chris! I enjoyed your review of these lenses. I like that you mentioned the sound that the lenses make during autofocus. Please, will you review the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art Lens or share your opinion with me.
Very helpful and detailed review. Thanks
Hey Bro very good video on the lens. Now do you use a Lens Filter?
Thanks for a big idea one question for my 70d what is the best 1/8 or 1/4 50mm .
THank you! So helpful!!! I just ordered my STM lens. :)
Great video Chris. It told me exactly what I needed.
It is a good choose a canon 200d with a 50mm 1.4? Or is better to chose a 77d and a 50mm 1.8? I want to use the camera mainly for portraits
Hi! What's your camera and lense did you use to make this video? It got really fast auto focus and really quiet!!! Thanks in advance!
Thats some mad autofocus you got going on with that camera. When you were showing the lenses that was insane haha
Thank you. I consider buying the STM 1.8. Will I be able to do food videos with it? Will it do a good job?
Hey Chris, Which one would you recommend: 109 euro (1.8 STM) vs 240 euro (1.4)?
I recently bought a used 1.4 and after using the 1.8 for a few months I can definitely say it was worth to upgrade. You know where the extra money is going straight away just by the look, feel and buttery smooth autofocus.
Excellent review Chris !!!
Now im a little confused because during manual focus on the 50mm 1.8 stm it does make a noise very clearly picked up by the cameras mic. its quite when auto focusing but not when making fast focus adjustments in video.
Very helpful Chris, I already have a canon 50mm I am looking to upgrade and don't know much about lease. I do a lot of portraits and family photography. Any suggestions please and thank you
Very helpful video!😊 Will the 50mm 1.8 STM work with the Canon Rebel T5?
Thanks you just saved me a few bucks great review
yo hope u reply man ,im new to this . im thinking of buying 50 1.8stm as my first prime as its only my budget , do you think its worth ? or just waiting enough money to buy another options and make some choice ? btw im using canon 70d and normally shot potrait ,landscape and sometimes street .
Thanks for this video, it was very helpful!!!
I will going to buy the 50mm f/1.8 STM after watching this review, but I did some digging on ebay and I found a 50mm f/1.4 for $80 and i couldn't resist that offer
