Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM
The Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM is an appealingly simple, compact and capable lens that's equally at home on an APS-C or full-frame DSLR camera. It's also very cheap, making it a worthy addition to any EOS user's camera bag.

Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 Pancake Lens
The 40mm "pancake" lens from Canon is the first prime pancake lens that Canon has released. I purchased this lens about 5 days ago, and I took it with me on vacation to Asheville, NC. I used it to do some street photography on my EOS 70d.

Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM - Full Format Review / Test Report
Canon is the only major Japanese camera manufacturer who has been shy of entering the mirrorless market (as of the time of this review). So far their reps always argued that it is possible to design smallish APS-C DSLRs that are also able to compete on the size and weight side.

Mighty Mouse
I can't believe how long it took me to purchase this lens. This review is for full-frame use. I've been rolling my eyes at it ever since it first came out. How can this lens be any good Recently reading various technical reviews raised my eyebrows and quickly changed my opinion of this lens.

Not for me
I really didn't feel this was the lens for me, quite slow to focus and not as good as its 35mm and 50mm counterparts

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

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.
