Canon 50mm 1.8 ii vs Canon 50mm 1.8 STM | Worth the Upgrade?

We’ve had and used the Canon 50mm 1.8 ii lens for many years, but recently I picked up the new Canon 50mm 1.8 STM lens. This lens came in a bundle that included the Canon 10-18mm. I really wanted to see if there was much of a difference between the old 50mm and the new one. Take a watch and see for yourself. Most of this video is based around video needs. Hope this helps you make a decision as to whether you would keep you current 50mm or move up to the new STM version!
