Pancake That's Far From Flat
on February 6, 2015
Posted by: owo3
from Los Angeles, CA
Was a little skeptical going in because it was a new lens but at the price decided to take my chances and am so glad I did! The picture quality of this lens is PHENOMENAL!!! The colors are big and bold and don't even get me started on the black and whites!!! I'm currently using it on my 7D Mark II, and in just this short amount of time it's already become one of my favorite lenses. If you're trying to capture that up close and personal, bright and beautiful look, get this lens. You will not be disappointed. Great for head shots!!!

Love the pancake size and the field of view

The lens is unobtrusive, meaning on a small body (SL1) you could easily put camera and lens in a windbreaker pocket.
I love the field of view, it is very similar to my older 35mm view finder cameras and I shot on them often before my first SLR in the mid 80's.
It focuses very close which makes it a good lens for shooting small items for documentation, sales, & etc.
Shooting with a fixed focal length is how I learned to shoot photographs and after looking through a set of shots taken with a fixed length lens vs a zoom ( I also have a 70-200 F4L, EFS 17-55 2.8 IS, and a EF 28-300L 3.5-5.6) the change in perspective where it is my feet not the lens doing the zooming is a nice change of pace and I find myself looking at and studying those photos longer.

Excellent walk around lens
on February 3, 2015

I picked up this lens when it first came out and brought it to a trip to Asia.
Great walk around lens, 24mm on APSC sensor is the ideal focal length. This lens can be used for any purposes.
The lens is very tiny, yet build quality is excellent.
Excellent optical quality. it produces super sharp image.
Auto focus is excellent, quick and accurate.

I wish aperture could be larger, as a larger aperture is useful at night, and produce nicer bokeh.
Like the 40mm STM, there is no mechanical manual focus control, which will take awhile to get use to

Love this lens!

I think this lens will be my go to lens now. It's compact and lightweight and delivers amazingly sharp images with great color! It is perfect for my very small budget while satisfying the need for a good prime lens to use with my ASP-C sensor. Affordable and high quality. Thank you, Canon!

Verified Purchase:Yes
While I haven't spent a ton of time with this lens yet, I've already taken some of the best photos I ever have with it. It's easily my favorite lens between my T2i kit and telephoto. I'm impressed with it and feel fortunate to work with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:Yes
As a casual photographer, I really enjoying how easy it is to carry around my camera with this lens as my main driver. The decent dof along with the semi-wide angle makes it very versitile. I do use my camera equally as much for taking photos as I do for taking videos so the only complaint I would have is that the focusing mechanism is quite loud. This is a very minor inconvenience.. definitely not enough to dock off a star. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better than I expected
on May 1, 2015

I bought this one on its first issue and I couldn't be any more delighted. It is super light, focuses in an instant and takes clear, sharp photos. It is a great focal length for general snaps with my T5i and I use it often when I need to strip the camera down to essentials for lightweight travel, hiking and the like. I highly recommend, at least for the practiced amateurs like myself.
