Canon EF40MM F2.8 STM Lens EF4028ST review

It's impressive what Canon has managed to pack into a very small package here. Excellent results for sharpness, CA and distortion, and only some corner shading when used wide open on full-frame - which you could call the "character" of this lens. For the price, it's well worth the money.

Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Lens Review

The diminutive Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Pancake Lens immediately inspires the high-pitched talking-to-a-baby voice from its first-time viewers, with short drawn-out words and phrases such as "awwwwe" and "it's sooooo cuuute" being especially common.

Canon EF 40MM F/2.8 STM Lens – 50

Canon's new standard fixed 40mm lens is so slim and light (just under 3cm protruding from camera body to lens cap edge and weighing 130g) it can slip into a gear bag or pocket with little bother.
Pros:
  • Versatile
  • small and light
  • Sharp images
  • Silent autofocus in video mode on 650D and 5D Mark III
Cons:
  • Auto/manual focus switch a little fiddly
  • Quiet autofocus feature only with the above models

Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM review by dugong5pm

this is not the lens for everyone. Some might want faster lens or even the L-brand. For me, this one is a PERFECT lens for street. Optically superb & sleek design. Nobody's gonna be intimidated with this tiny lens. a perfect lens for fullframe sensors. Price is highly acceptable.
Pros:
  • sleek
  • very light
  • SHARP! nice build quality.
Cons:
  • none

Pancake lenses have come into some popularity in recent years, and Canon has answered with their own version, the . Some may question the point of a fixed lens that is only f/2.8 these days, but there are plenty of reasons to pick up a lens such as this.

This lens is a "always on the camera" lens - it's wide enough for taking pics of landscapes, groups of people and you can go rather close with it too - it's my new Allrounder --- on my 5DII I can work undercover because it is so so unspectacular - which works for me!
Pros:
  • very compact - good usage for street photography - f 2.8 is fully usable but best results with f5.6
  • autofocus is quick,exact and nearly quiet
Cons:
  • Build is far away from L but much better than the 1.8/50 II
  • so it's good enough for normal usage

Canon EF 40mm f2.8 STM

The Canon EF 40mm f2.8 STM is the company's first 'pancake' lens, designed to be as small and light as possible. Measuring just 22.8mm thick, it protrudes to roughly the same degree as the grip on many DSLRs, and at 130g you'll hardly notice it when mounted.
