Features a 50mm lens

Canon EF 50mm lens

The EF 50mm lenses are a group of normal prime lenses made by Canon that share the same focal length. These lenses are based on the classicdouble-Gauss lens,^[1] with the f/1.8 being a standard six-element double-Gauss with an air gap and powers between element 2 and 3^[2] and its fastercousins adding additional elements.^[3] The 50mm focal length, when used with a 35mm film or full-frame sensor, has been widely considered to match the perspective seen by the human eye.^[4]

Canon 50mm lenses have an EF type mount that fits the Canon EOS line of cameras. When pairing a 50mm lens to a Canon DSLR with an APS-Csized sensor, the crop factor effectively turns the 50mm focal length into a 80mm field of view.
