The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Fujifilm XF 50mm F2 R WR and the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM for their suitability to various photography scenarios:
Size and Weight Comparison The size of a lens is a crucial factor to consider when comparing two lenses. Fujifilm XF 50mm F2 R WR is the longer of the two lenses at 59mm. The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM with a length of 39mm, is 20mm shorter. On the other hand, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM has a larger diameter of 69mm compared to the Fujifilm XF 50mm F2 R WR's 60mm diameter.
Below you can find a scaled side-by-side image of Fujifilm XF 50mm F2 R WR and Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM to get a better idea of how their sizes compare in real life.
