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

A little Cracker

I bought this as an in-between lens, between my wide 16-35 and zoom 70-200 and as a potential video lens (not tested yet) on a 5Dmk2 First impressions were how small it is making it very unobtrusive, yet the manual focus ring is easy to use unlike the 50mm f1.8 On the occasion I tried it for...
Pros:
  • Great Picture Quality
  • Lightweight
  • Simple Controls

Canon pancake lens exceeds expectations

There was a lot of hype after Canon's release of the 40mm pancake lens & I wondered if it was worth getting this inexpensive prime lens versus saving up for L glass for 10X or even 20X the price & made the leap when the price dropped.

Great general purpose lens

Had this lens for a few weeks now and I find myself using it more and more. It is a great all round lens delivering high quality images and for street photography it's a must have. Good value for money.

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.

YOU NEED THIS LENS

It′s amazing, especially for night shoot′s, I'ts light and inexpensive in comparison to others. It′s perfect for low light shots and you will never regret getting it nor will ever let it go.

Not quite silent

Works great on my T4i, but not as silent as I had expected. The 18-135 STM lens is silent and I assumed this one would be equally as quiet, but the buzz of the motor is audible and is quiet video situations you do pick up the buzz of the autofocus.

Diminutive lens gives a big impression.

This is a brilliant lens that is wonderful to use out on the street due to its very low profile. When I take the battery pack off my 5D Mark III and replace my Canon "cannons" with this lens, I feel like I'm carrying a point and shoot!
Pros:
  • Bright Image
  • Easy To Use
  • Quality Construction
Cons:
  • None Discovered So Far

Not too bad

I'm new to the land of DSLRs and this is the second lens I've bought for my T4i. I don't particularly like the autofocus on this lens. I don't use it often, but there have been a couple of times where I needed it and it was a bit too slow. Other than that, I think it's nice lens.
