    Canon 24mm f2.8 STM lens for EF-S body

    What do members think about the canon 24mm f2.8 STM lens? I am considering adding this to my collection of small lenses for those occasions when I take my 760D camera for concerts & similar.

    Nat...I've just bought one today....seems fantastic....not just for the low price but the construction is good with a smooth focus ring...and the images at f2.8 look really sharp.
    I'll give it a proper test tomorrow and post some results.

        Here are samples....the 100D was on a tripod, both lenses set to 24mm and wide open (ISO1600 and shutter speed to suit exposure).
        All were RAW, no sharpening or any other adjustment....just straightened and exported to flickr.
        I chose the 17-40f4L for the comparison as I know you have that one Nat and its probably the best choice for this focal length.

                  Yes, and Jessops took my money the day before with their knowing that they had a pancake day discount planned the next day..I could have saved 10% !

                    There is the EF40 f2.8 which is the same size. I like use on my 7D as a general purpose lems.

                    It will be interesting to see a report on the ef-s version.
