Rent NowThe Canon 50mm f/1.8 is a standard prime lens built for Canon’s FD mount film SLR system. At 50mm with an f/1.8 maximum aperture, it delivers a natural field of view well suited to everyday photography, portraiture, and street work, with useful light gathering capability for lower light conditions and sufficient depth of field control for background separation when desired. Fully manual operation covers both focus and aperture adjustment directly on the lens. As a first-party Canon FD lens, it represents a reliable and optically capable standard prime within the FD lineup, and remains compatible with Canon FD-mount film bodies as well as mirrorless and other camera systems when used with an appropriate FD adapter. Note that the specific FD or FDn mount variant and generation may vary by individual listing.
