Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM

Picked this up for everyday shooting and the STM motor is so quiet I barely notice it locking focus. It’s small enough to toss in a jacket pocket, which means it’s always with me.

The f/1.8 aperture really shines in low light, letting me grab sharp shots indoors without cranking the ISO too high. It's so compact that I can toss the camera in my bag without a second thought.

Coming from heavier gear, the RF 50mm’s lightweight build is a relief—I barely notice it in my bag. The STM motor is quiet and quick, and the f/1.8 aperture already gives me creamy backgrounds for portraits without breaking the bank.
