The ultra-slim Canon 24mm f/2.8 STM lens is just 22.8mm in depth – barely thicker than the lens cap – and weighs just 125g. Sounds intriguing doesn't it? Couple this with a 24mm focal length and what you have is an extremely versatile and portable pancake lens.

When we look at all the new photographic equipment that appears each year, it's easy to get swept along by the big announcements such as super-high resolution cameras and ultra-fast lenses.

The Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM lens, like Canon's other pancake lenses, is mostly defined by what it isn't. It isn't super wide-angle or telephoto, it doesn't let you zoom, and it doesn't have a super-wide maximum aperture like most of Canon's most esteemed prime lenses.

Small and affordable, the Canon 24mm f/2.8 isn't a stellar lens, but it does its job well....

This little pancake lens is perfect for shedding weight, or keeping the cameras size down. Perfect for Street Photography.

This is best lens in this price range good enough wide angle for apa-c cameras.stm fast focus is good.vignneting when you focus single subject far from you using center focus point but again at this price range this is execellent lens.you can't get 24mm lens at this price in any other brands.

For those of us closely following Canon's lens line, the Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Pancake Lens looks exactly like a very successful lens we have seen before. That lens is the first Canon pancake-designed lens compatible with EOS DSLR cameras, the Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Lens .

very sharp

I have been thinking about buying this lens for a while now but wasn't sure that the focal length of 24mm on APS-C (38mm full frame equivalent angle of view) was wide enough for me. I would have preferred 22mm (35mm equivalent), but in practice the difference isn't much to worry about.
