| This is one of the most popular lenses, having a long history as a standard lens. Compact and lightweight lens with orthodox 6 elements in 5 groups. High image quality with a good balance of aberration correction is obtained throughout the entire focusing range from the closest focusing distance of 0.45m to infinity. Micro-motor operated AF system. This lens was improved to become the model II by simplifying the focusing distance window and manual focus ring. Nevertheless the build of this first version supersedes the EF50 f/1.8 II having a metal bayonet. |
