Customer Ratings & Reviews

I own the EF 40mm 2.8 STM but having recently purchased a Rebel SL1, I thought that this lens would be a perfect match to such a tiny body, and it certainly is. Granted, it does not "look" as small on the SL1 as the 40mm pancake does on my 6D, but it is such a tiny and light combo, it is very easy to carry all day. The 1.6x crop factor results in a very similar focal length of around 38mm. And just like its EF sibling, this is a sharp lens with decent construction. A bit stiff to mount but I'm sure that will get better over time. The focus-by-wire is a bit weird but it gets the job done. The extra speed of an f/2.8 always comes handy indoors. I always try to avoid flash pictures when possible, especially when the flash is mounted on the camera. Overall, I'm very pleased with this great and very affordable lens.

This is a fantastic lens for the price. Clear, sharp, good color, and the build quality is great. Definitely recommend to anyone shooting with a crop sensor Canon. There are definitely better lenses out there, but for the price, this is hard to beat.

So i didn't notice the EF-S on the box....my mistake. Still a nice lens for the price. Worked on my 7D but, i needed it for my 5dmk III. If you have an EF-S mount it's a nice wide lens.

Purchased this lens after realizing that I love my nifty fifty, but needed a wider lens. This lens is just as good as the nifty fifty. A great addition to my lens collection. Great for when you want to get full body, landscape, or group photos.

I really like the Canon 24 mm STM lens. It's not as wide angle as I would like but I like the small size. I use it on a Canon SL1. I can keep both in a large fanny pack when I am out taking pictures. It's not as bulky as the 18-55 mm that the SL1 comes with. The build quality of the 24mm is good and I tested it at all apertures and I'm happy with the image quality. I haven't really tried it for video only still photography. But, the price, you can't go wrong.

Great image quality and very compact. I am enjoying the expanded capability of this prime lens!

This and a 50mm f/1.8 should be everyone's first lens. Its perfect for street photography and the compact sizes makes it easier to carry around. Super sharp with a bit of vignette at 2.8 f but totally worth it.

Ahhh! I love this lens. Very small and portable and has great quality! Gotta buy. The price is great and it is just excellent. Allows me to take great wide shots of architecture and landscapes.

This lens runs counter to that reality. Usually I'm torn between getting a lens that is meant for full frame and doesn't have the combination of proper field of view, aperture, and price, but this lens is a great addition to Canon's lineup that rewards crop sensor owners. It's got great detail, color reproduction and a nice field of view for an all purpose walk around/portrait lens. What's more the f/2.8 aperture is reasonably fast considering the absurdly low price point. Build quality is also top notch for the price and eschews the tacky plastic that made up the 50mm f/1.8 mkII in favor of a build quality in line with the 50mm f/1.4.

WOW!! I bought this lens when it was on Special and oh man!! Worth. Every. Penny! I got tired of using the 50mm for portraits so I bought this 24mm and it works B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! I Highly Recommend Buying This Lens!

Absolutely love it! Great price! If you want a cheap price towards macro lens this is the lens for you! Great quality, Perfect for wide angle or macro lens! Happy with my purchase

This is a fantastic lens for beginners. While the nifty fifty is a great lens in its own right, this gives you a lot more versatility being a field of view. Build quality is superb especially at this price point.

The 24mm 2.8 is a good entry level lens that is able to produce considerably clear images with its price point. Being that it is a prime and a pancake lens, it is really lightweight and ideal for travel/on-the-go.

This was honestly the best lense I've ever gotten. I was looking for something small that I can travel with without having to carry large lenses, and this was it. Small, lightweight and AMAZING pictures. Definitely worth the money

Love this lens. Great for tight indoor situations. Fast lens. Great versatility. Lite weight and makes handling the camera easy. Recommend to all.

I used to do a lot of amateur photography from the 35mm days, and I had a lot of lenses for multiple applications. This lens does the job and takes quality pics. Easy to use. Worth the money to me!

This lens is great for getting full body shots without having to step too far back . Blurs background and holds good frames

This is an great lens for a beginner photographer that does not want to spend a lot of money for a fast lens. It is great in low light situation and has nice bokeh. Another plus is that it is small and light, making a good lens to shoot close to subjects but not making it uncomfortable for them. Only reason not a 5 star item do to not having image stabilization.

With my Rebel T6i, this lens go together very well. I already bought 40mm pancake of canon months ago. 24mm is more usefun in everyday shooting. Small size make the life easy. Image quality and colors are fantastic for this price

I love this lens, I’ve used it for photography and video on my 80D. It performs amazing in low light and still has the wide range. I went with this one over the 50mm because I needed a wider shot
