Description

Ef-s mount lens/APS-C format 38mm (35mm equivalent) one aspherical element optimized lens coatings STM AF motor supports movie Servo AF Micro-Stepping drive aperture mechanism full-time manual focus override rounded 7-blade diaphragm slim design measures less than 1-thick. From the Manufacturer EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STMIncredibly lightweight, the EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM is a fast and versatile lens with advanced AF and superior optics. With a 35mm equivalent focal length of 38mm, it's appropriate for a variety of purposes. The lens features optimized lens element placement and includes an aspheric element for high image quality from the center of the composition to the corners, and has specialized coatings on the lens elements to reduce ghosting and flare. To ensure excellent color balance, a 7-blade circular aperture provides superb out-of-focus detail. The EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM excels during movie shooting thanks to its STM motor that enables silent and smooth focus tracking (on EOS cameras with Movie Servo AF), plus a micro-stepping drive that keeps aperture changes quiet. The lens also offers full-time manual focus, manual AF adjustment (one-shot AF), and can focus down to a minimum distance of 0.5 ft. (0.16m). Delivering optical brilliance in a lightweight and unobtrusive construction, the EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM is a great fixed-optical length lens for photographers looking to add a travel-friendly option to their collection.

Frequently asked questions

The Canon 24mm lens has a focal length of 24mm. This makes it ideal for wide-angle photography, capturing larger scenes in limited space. It's perfect for landscapes, cityscapes or indoor photography where space might be limited.

The f/2.8 indicates the maximum aperture of the lens. The lower the number, the wider the aperture can open, allowing more light to reach the sensor and making it great for low light conditions. A wider aperture also gives a shallower depth of field, providing the beautiful blurred background (bokeh) effect in the photos.

STM stands for Stepper Motor Technology. This is the technology that Canon uses for focusing the lens. STM lenses focus smoothly and quietly, making them ideal for video recording because the focusing noise won't interfere with the video's audio.

The Canon 24mm lens is an EF-S lens which means it's designed primarily for use with Canon DSLRs that have an APS-C sensor, such as the Canon Rebel series, or the EOS 80D and 77D. It will not properly work with full-frame Canon cameras like the 5D or 6D series.

    • My Favorite Lens So Far on the Canon T6i
Style: Lens Only
Out of all the lenses I’ve used with my Canon T6i, the EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM is easily my favorite. It’s incredibly compact—basically a pancake lens—but it delivers sharp, vibrant images that punch way above its size and price. The autofocus is smooth and quiet, which is perfect for video work, and the f/2.8 aperture gives great subject separation and solid low-light performance. I’ve used it for everything from casual street photography to product shots and it consistently delivers. It’s also super lightweight, which makes the whole setup feel much more portable. Honestly, it rarely leaves my camera. If you shoot with a T6i or any crop-sensor Canon body, this little lens is a no-brainer. ... show more

The media could not be loaded. 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. ... show more

    • Terrific lens for the R10!
Style: Lens Only
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. ... show more
