Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM

The Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM is the sharp, compact, and inexpensive lens that every Canon shooter should own.

Quite sharp. Very compact. Classic wide-angle field of view. Silent STM focus motor. Affordable.

Lacks image stabilization. Disappointing manual focus experience. Noticeable vignette at f/2.8.

The Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM is small, inexpensive, and sharp. It's a great lens for candid indoor shots, family snapshots, and documentary street photography alike. It doesn't offer image stabilization, and it doesn't capture as much light as an f/2...

Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens Review

Canon likes to promote the incredible number of lenses they have produced. This production figure far exceeds 100 million as I create the Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens review. Providing lenses like this one in their lineup will, very significantly,...

Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Review

The Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM is a tiny prime lens that delivers surprisingly good image quality given its inexpensive price-point, making it a great moderate wide-angle addition to a compact, lightweight EOS kit.

Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Review

There's not a lot to add that the above paragraphs don't spell out in glowing detail -- it's small, it's economical, and it has great test results. I see it ending up in a lot of presents this holiday season.

Canon EF-S 24 mm f/2.8 STM

Canon hasn't been exactly spoiling their fans when it comes to the lenses designed for its reflex cameras with smaller sensors. Among EF-S devices you can find many versions of 18-55 mm lenses, 18-135 mm or 55-250 mm instruments as well, but there are...

sensational image quality in the frame centre ; decent image quality on the edge of the frame ; lack of problems with the longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberration ; moderate distortion ; slight astigmatism ; very good coma correction ; proper work...

too high vignetting ; a bit fickle autofocus

Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens Review

Gary Wolstenholme reviews this compact 24mm prime pancake lens for Canon EOS EF-S cameras.

Excellent sharpness ; Lightweight ; Compact ; Fast focusing ; Good value for money

No hood included as standard

Those looking for a compact companion for their EF-S camera body need look no further. The 38mm equivalent field of view this lens provides is only a little wider than a standard lens, which will make it suited for a wide range of subjects. The compact...

Canon 24mm f/2.8 STM

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...

Excellent Walkabout Lens

This lens makes my 700D into a much more practical everyday camera as it's so light and compact, and has a slightly wide field of view on a crop-sensor which is perfect for general "walkabout" use. It is perfectly complemented by the 50mm f1.8 STM...

Consumer review (warehouseexpress.com)

Good things come in small packages.

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...
