Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM Lens The Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM lens is the successor to the incredibly popular 50mm f1.8 II. This lens is, frankly, a must-own for any Canon shooter. Not very special looking, but it sure can produce some beautiful bokeh with the right background and distance.
#Canon camera good bokeh lens upgrade
It has a wide aperture, you can get relatively close to the subject and the design of the lens is almost perfect for bokeh. Canon has improved the optical design over previous models, added Super Spectra coating and upgrade the aperture to a 7-bladed model another great tool for good bokeh. Now a bonus to this list, the Nikon 300mm f2.8. So this is why the 85/1.2L produces amazing bokeh. (as example based on what I have been able to determine the 135/2L lens is designed more for sharpness, while the 85/1.2L is designed for bokeh blur) it is hard for engineers to design in because from a technical view-point trying to achieve sharpest image the circle would be even across the circle with a sharp drop off on the edges, but this is not pleasing to the eye so there must be some compromise with sharpness to get the more pleasing effect. Harder to do is a design of the lens to produce a pin-point light circle which is mostly even, but fades out slightly at the edges.

The smaller the lens aperture value, the greater the bokeh effect in the foreground and background of.

Generally 50mm for 1.6x and 85-150mm for FF.Ĥ. (Edited by Camera Biyori, Photos by: Yuji Ogura). Longer lenses should in theory have better bokeh then shorter lenses, but the problem is getting the whole of the subject in at the closer distance between camera and subject needed. Canon EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM (499) This compact and lightweight Canon EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6. More blades and/or curved blades are more likely to produce a pleasing bokeh.ģ. Decrease the physical distance between the camera and the subject and increase the distance between subject and background. The number and design of the aperture blades. But you can get it at f5.6 if have a larger distance between subject and background.Ģ. You get this by opening the aperture wide open (like f1.2) and getting as close as you can to the subject while having enough DoF to have the subject in focus.ġB. The technical aspects that contribute to good bokeh are:ġA.
