When you think it can't get better with Canon, it surely can now! For this price and size there is no contest in the entire market. I dare say. Even the 1/3 macro is very handy and works great with on top flashes like the nissin i40. EDIT: dropped the nissin for ttl. On newer bodies from 80D on.

Price; size; IQ

To bad it is APS-C only; But that is nitpicking for this price

I bought d lens from local image square shop at a good discount, the build is good if not top notch, but not so cheap feel like the old nifty 50 f1.8. Espcially like d wide angle perspective which on a crop camera has an equivalent of 38.4 mm and the benefit of f/2.8 allowing night time shots with...

Great item. New to the photography world, read a lot of reviews and finally gave in and purchased. Very light in weight, let's lots of light into photos so ideal for indoor pics

Unbelievable sharpness and pic quality. Very compact with minimal noise. Highly recommended for the price.

I would recommend this product. It is excellent quality and well worthy of the Canon brand.

Aspheric lens element helps you achieve a high level of image quality from the center to the periphery.

I purchased the 24mm lens to take pictures (portrait type) of people and other things (usually singular animals or objects), as I wanted the bokeh effect (the blurry background when the object is in perfect focus).

I bought this for my new Canon 200d (which I'm hating more with every passing day) after reading many reviews as it was a toss up between this or the 50mm. I went with this for the closer focusing distance and 'macro' capabilities as well as all round versatility.

My experience of this lens is with my Canon 750D. This was my first lens purchase after my kit lens (18-55mm STM), and I am stoked with the quality of the images I can get from it. On a crop sensor, the 24mm focal length is roughly 38mm, which is an extremely versatile focal length.

Compact, Build quality

Back in 2012, Canon introduced the Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM - a full format pancake lens. Pancake lenses have a short barrel in an attempt to minimize the size of the overall setup.
