This lens was part of the Canon EF-lens line-up with the previous generation Canon EOS DSLRs - for both Full-Frame and APS-C bodies. Super sharp and a bit 'narrower' than the Canon EOS EF 50mm f/1.8 USM II lens (nifty-fifty) of the same era. Lightweight, very sharp, with a good bokeh for portraits and close-up flowers (non-macro).

With the correct EF-to-RF converter this lens should also be compatible on many newer Canon EOS R bodies. This lens will probably not be availab...
