REVIEW & INFO

Honest review and information

As a photography enthusiast, I am always on the lookout for new and amazing lenses that can add value to my work. The Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens is one such lens that caught my attention because of its wide-angle capabilities, compact size, and affordable price point. After using it for a few months now, I can confidently say that this lens is a great addition to any Canon APS-C camera setup.

The first thing that I noticed about the Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens was its slim and lightweight design. It is the slimmest and lightest lens of the EF S series, making it very easy to handle and store. This is a great advantage for any photographer who is always on the go and needs to carry their gear with them. The lens weighs only 125 grams, making it almost unnoticeable when mounted on a camera.

The lens also features a circular aperture with seven blades that deliver beautiful, soft backgrounds. This is especially great for portrait photography, where you want to blur the background and focus solely on the subject. The Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens is also great for street photography, as it allows you to capture more of the scene and create a sense of depth in your images.

One of the standout features of this lens is the full-time manual focus. This allows manual focus adjustment while in One Shot AF mode. It is a great feature for photographers who prefer to be in complete control of their focus, especially when shooting in challenging conditions. The manual focus ring is smooth and precise, making it easy to focus on your subject even in low light conditions.

The lens also has a minimum focusing distance of 0.16 meters (0.5 feet), which allows you to get very close to your subject and capture great detail. This is a great feature for macro photography or capturing small objects. The lens also has a maximum magnification of x0.27, which is quite impressive considering the 24mm focal length.

The Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens is compatible with all non-full-frame Canon EOS digital SLRs, which is a great advantage. It is also very affordable compared to other lenses in its category, making it accessible to photographers on a budget. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8, the lens performs well in low light conditions, allowing you to capture bright and sharp images even indoors or in low light situations.

Overall, I am very impressed with the Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens. It is a versatile lens that can be used for a variety of photography genres, including portrait, street, and landscape photography. Its compact size and lightweight design make it easy to carry around and use. The full-time manual focus is a great plus for photographers who prefer to be in full control of their focus, and the circular aperture with seven blades delivers beautiful, soft backgrounds, making it ideal for portrait photography. I highly recommend this lens to anyone looking for a high-quality wide-angle lens for their Canon APS-C camera setup.
