The image above is reportedly the first leaked photo of the upcoming Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM, the replacement for the popular and affordable 50mm f/1.8 II “nifty fifty” lens.
Digicam-info first published the photo and a list of specs. The site reports that the lens will feature 6 elements in 5 groups (just like the Nifty Fifty), a lens coating designed for digital cameras, a stepping motor (STM) for smooth and quiet autofocus, and full time manual focus.
It does not appear to have IS, and there’s no distance scale, so “it’s going to be a cheap lens,” Digicam-info writes.
The current Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II “Nifty Fifty”
It will reportedly be 39.3mm long (compared to 40.6 for the Nifty Fifty) and weigh 160 grams (the Nifty Fifty weighs 130). From the weigh increase and from the leaked product shot, we’re guessing the lens will feature a much more solid build quality than its predecessor (which is known to split into two when dropped or bumped).
CanonWatch says we should expect the official announcement for this lens “very soon.”
