You are gona love this lens !!! Its a do all type lens and the optics are second to none. I use this lens for mainly flowers and plants and the color fidelity and focus is tack sharp . Yes its prime and you have to do the zoom part but over all weather at f2.8 or f16 this lens performs . I would have paid triple what this lens for for what it can do . This lens has taken my photos of flowers from mediocre to extremely wonderful. Its a great lens on a crop sensor cameras. It performs great a s a walk around lens as well, though you dont have a zoom range like on a traditional walk around lens it gives great wide angle shots as well as close ups second to none . The STM focusing is almost silent though you can still hear it a bit great for mid wide shots in video or extreme close ups yet not macro. The color saturation and contrast are awesome yet not over the top. I love this lens for my close up work as well as walking around with it it has almost completely replaced my 18-55mm zoom walk around lens and takes much better shots as well . There is just some kind of magic that this lens does with pictures tack sharp, great color fidelity, awesome at f2.8 as well as all the way out . Its sweet spot I believe is between f5 and f8 though its hard to tell where the sweet spot is because at all f/stops its seems to excel at what ever it is doing . For 149.00 bucks you wont go wrong owing this lens .The only thing I wish I did different is buy it sooner . Great over all lens . With video its also a great lens for mid wide angle shots or close ups as well. The only thing I don’t like about this lens is occasionally it will warp the image for certain types of shots this is expected seeing how its a 24 mm lens and is fairly wide angle but its only slight and is barely noticeable . I only see this when shooting shots of the sky and looking at the for ground Its slight but its there. Its a small lens and fits in your bag nicely I just wish it was a bit bigger its would be easier to get on and off the camera . It takes a special kind of twist with the tips of the fingers to pull it off and put it on but no big deal . If you want a great walk around lens that has outstanding optics and is tack sharp buy this lens, if you want realistic close up shots and beautiful color fidelity buy this lens. If you want a compact do all lens buy this lens. It has replaced 2 of my lenses now and it holds a special place in my heart as one of the best lenses in my bag . For a cheap price you get L Series pictures its really that good go for it you wont be disappointed.

Ich kann nicht glauben, dass ein so kleines und günstiges Objektiv so große Dinge leisten kann. Ich bin rundum zufrieden. Und angesichts seiner Leistungsfähigkeit war es eine sehr gute Investition.

Does the job as a wide lens, I wouldn’t really recommend it for professional photography but it works well enough.

com certeza essa é a lente mais NÍTIDA, entre as que tenho quando comparado a Meike 85mm f/1.8 e a 18-55mm. f/2.8 ajuda pra quem tem sensor APS-C igual é o meu caso (SL3).
Fica um conjunto muito compacto quando se usa em uma SL3, capaz de ter fotos muito nítidas com muita qualidade.
Já em relação ao foco, achei um pouco mais lento que outras duas que tenho, nada que atrapalhe, mas é fato que é um pouco inferior, porém o foco é muito preciso.

I mainly bought this lens to record videos indoors for my university courses but I knew it would be very useful for indoor photography to get in tight spaces where my EF 50mm ƒ/1.8 STM would just be too much range. I already heard it was close to the human eye in viewing so I was quite excited to take this out onto the street with my Rebel SL1 to double the tiny DSLR with this tiny lens. Overall in every situation, the lens has met my expectations. It’s not as good as the 50mm but it’s still very good considering the size and price. The EF-S 24mm ƒ/2.8 STM actually works surprisingly well for portraits and self-portraits in dim light or with the flash, similar to the EF 50mm ƒ/1.8 STM. You can get very crisp detail, hair pores, skin shine, and iris color. I think this lens is supposed to be like an EF-S version of the EF 40mm ƒ/2.8 STM, so buy this lens over the 40mm first, especially if you already own the 50mm. It’s a little redundant to get all three so I suggest skipping the 40mm to save up for other lenses and then return for the 40mm.
The wide aperture is great to have, even if it is slow compared to some other prime lenses, but I think this lens performs better in the middle to narrower range instead of shooting wide. Auto-focus works very well, at least better than the rest of my cheap lens collection. This is my fifth lens, my other four being the kit, a prime, a zoom, and a wide, making this more of my practical lens. The EF-S 24mm ƒ/2.8 STM will move in and out during focusing without twisting and this is one of my favorite features of this lens because it makes circular polarizer so much more convenient. It has no image stabilizer but I don’t think it needs one because it seems fine without one given the small size, and to include one would push up the price and increase the size. The small lightweight lens is really cool to have, especially as my DSLR is one of the smallest ever made, so it can be a bit fun to go compact. I would’ve bought this lens long ago had I known how useful it is for tight spaces. There tends to be some slight chromatic aberration on average, so take a deep look at your images. The colors seem to be generally true but I often have to increase the saturation like normal. I never actually take off my circular polarizer, so I have no day time images on hand without it. The filter I use is made by Ultimaxx.
My post-process suggestion, in Canon’s software that is, is that you do not use Digital Lens Optimizer, Color Blur, or Peripheral Illumination, and start the Unsharp Mask with a Strength of 8, Fineness of 5, and Threshold of 2. Keep Chromatic Aberration on as I usually have to slide the red slider to the left while the blue slider is generally left alone or pushed to the right, while 100 is mostly all you need. This of course varies overall depending on situation variables but this is what I found works best for me with this lens.
This lens generally goes for $120, but I paid $134 because the $120 lenses were sold out and I needed this for a project. The full price is $150. If you’re tight on money, I think this is a good buy, depending on what you want to shoot. If you have no specific subjects to shoot, this is a great choice for hobbyists because of the versatility. You can probably make it work if you’re a professional but I wouldn’t know because I actually need to use this lens some more. I uploaded some of my pictures, half were images I had on hand while the other half I went out to shoot just for Amazon. My videos always look grainy so I need to learn how to take better videos, but it’s a nice lens for videos. One suggestion I found online after making my video was to use Auto-Intelligent Scene and auto-focus for videos on high resolution. I was using 60fps but I will now change to 30fps. Auto-focus from what I found is not silent, so I rate the lens 4.5 for that, in addition to auto-focus not being totally good but the touchscreen makes it good.

Ordered this lens for my R10 and I couldn’t be happier with it. Before getting this lens, I tried the RF 50mm 1/8 STM, but it failed to live up to the ‘nifty fifty’ hype, so I returned it and ordered this one instead.
This lens is just plain fantastic. I use it on a daily basis, and its on my camera pretty much 90% of the time. Its much faster than the 50mm (yeah, I know that doesn’t technically make sense, but it is).
The autofocus is lightening fast, and stays locked on the target. While you can hear a little hum when its working, its barely audible – much, MUCH quieter than the 50mm.
Even though my R10 doesn’t have image stabilization (and neither does this lens), I am able to achieve hand held razer sharp focus with ease.
The low light performance is great as well.
And while the bokeh might not match the 50mm’s creaminess, its still great.
This is such an amazing little lens. Incredibly versatile, and for the price, its really a no brainer.
Must have for R10 owners, and well pretty much any Canon owner. If you’re on the fence about it, just get it. Its so cheap, and it works so well that you definitely won’t regret it.
