Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM

The Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM ($199.99 direct) lens is one of the smallest you'll find for Canon cameras . Its pancake design barely juts out from a camera when mounted. It can be used on full-frame and APS-C D-SLRs, and provides smooth autofocus for video recording when paired with the EOS Rebel T4i...
Pros:
  • Extremely compact
  • Very sharp
  • Minimal distortion
  • Inexpensive
  • STM focus motor
Cons:
  • Focus-by-wire design
  • Modest f/2.8 aperture

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.

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.
