EF stands for "Electro-Focus": automatic focusing on EF lenses is handled by a dedicated electric motor built into the lens.

The EF 50mm lenses are a group of normal prime lenses made by Canon that share the same focal length. These lenses are based on the classic double-Gauss lens, with the f/1.8 being a standard six-element double-Gauss with an air gap and powers between element 2 and 3 and its faster cousins adding additional elements. The 50mm focal length, when used with a 35mm film or full-frame sensor, has been widely considered to match the perspective seen by the human eye.

The EF 35 mm lenses are four wide angle prime lenses with EF mount made by Canon Inc. The family also includes one EF-S lens that only mounts on Canon bodies with APS-C sensors. Due to the 1.6 crop factor of Canon APS-C sensors, all of the 35 mm lenses have a 35 mm equivalent focal length of 56 mm, making them normal lenses on APS-C bodies.
