The rorty, shorty forty is a winner
I didn't buy the nifty fifty due to its somewhat low build quality. So when this lens was announced in the 'cheap enough not to really worry' price bracket, I snapped one up. I think with the EF 40mm pancake, Canon have the balance right. It's not an 'L' lens but does have a metal mount.

Perfect everyday lens
I love this lens. I prefer to use prime lenses over zoom lenses and I bought this lens to replace the "nifty fifty" that was recommended to me when I bought the camera body. This lens is a much higher quality and takes better images. The auto focus mechanism is also a lot more responsive.
Pros:
- High quality construction
- compact size
- amazing price
Cons:
- Nothing

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.

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

Great lens for portraits and very good value.
This lens takes great portraits with its sharp image result at very affordable price. It (auto) focuses quite good for portrait but not macro. It's extremely light weight and it's build is good. Although the side of the lens has printed the word Macro, it cannot take true macro image.

Don't we all love pancakes?
Great lens for the money.<br /><br />It is sharp, F4+ is really the sweet spot here. Wide open the photos are usable but some distortion occurs in lower light settings. I used this lens at the aquarium and got some very good and usable shots from 2.8-5.6.
Pros:
- Decent Focus
- Low light
- Portable
- Sharp
Cons:
- Build Quality
- Some Noise Wide Open

Great Walk around lens
A great walk around that is perfect for low light situations. This is a lens you will be happy with because of its STM abilities,of its weight and the quality of construction and picture quality.

40mm f2.8 STM prime lens for Canon dslr
"This is a fun and sharp little lens. I own the 50mm f1.8 as well, and I prefer the 40mm. Why Better build quality, the 40 is similar construction to my 18-135mm STM, better image quality than the 50, quieter auto focus, and a slimmer profile.
