Love this lens

I have had this lens for a few months and it quickly became my favorite lens. Picture quality is better than the 18-55mm kit lens. The 2.8 aperture allows for better low light photos and combined with its relatively wide angle of view makes it a good lens for night time star photography.
Finally, I have to mention that this lens makes my camera a small and light package for carrying around all day.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I used this lens first time in our church event, at a very low light conditions, excellent quality for the price range. Macro pics also looks great. Images are pretty sharp at f2.8. Looking forward to use this outdoors when the weather gets better.

Very sharp and beautiful shots. Small size makes my 60D feel much more portable too.

Tiny, light, and versatile!

I bought the EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM in November of 2023 as a 35-40mm equivalent prime for Canon's APS-C crop and it's actually surprisingly pretty good! The size of this lens is so small, you could fit it in your pocket. Once it's mounted to your camera, it basically feels like you don't even have a lens on it, its quite nice for keeping your setup extremely light.
The 24mm focal length on the EF-S mount is close to the 35mm-40mm on a full frame camera, making this lens quite versatile. I have used this lens while walking around with only a wrist strap, it's extremely comfortable to use considering it's so small. However, it doesn't sacrifice too much image quality even with it's small size.
There is stronger vignetting around f/2.8, but stopping down to f/4-5.6 yields a lot brighter corners and more sharpness as well. The f/2.8 is extremely handy though when light is not as available, just keep in mind this is not the sharpest f-stop for this lens as is to be expected. You can get reasonable amounts of bokeh with this lens, although you have to be fairly close which can cause some distortion, so be careful when taking portraits. The lens is also able to focus fairly closely which is a big positive, however the STM focusing motor can be a bit noisy and slow, so keep that in mind for video applications. There is also no Image Stabilization, so I would recommend using this lens with a tripod if you are using it for video.
Overall, it's hard to not recommend this lens considering how small and light it is. It would be perfect for landscapes, street photography, car photography, and more because of it's reasonably low minimum aperture and tiny, friendly size.
I would recommend this to a friend!
