## Description

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.

Review: Cheap and Practical Videographs and Photographs - 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 desertcart. 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.
Review: This is a great lens to add to your collection - First of all, I was amazed at how fast this lens arrived. I'm not a prime member, but I ordered this lens yesterday morning at around 6:00 AM and it was on my doorstep before 6:00 PM! I never had anything arrive so quickly before! Okay, now for the good stuff. The lens was nicely boxed, in bubble wrap, and an additional plastic wrap, so very well protected. Don't be fooled by the low price. This little lens is pretty solid. It appears well built so I'm very pleased with its construction. It's a little tighter to mount than my other Canon lenses, but it is very secure. It does not have image stabilization, but that's not an issue for me (the only lens I own that has it is the 18-55mm kit lens). It does have auto and manual focus. Plus, you can get very close to your subject, almost like a macro lens. This lens may be small, but the focus ring is easy to access. I heard reviews that the STM with auto focus is a bit noisier than the Nifty Fifty, but I did not find that to be the case. The motor is fairly quiet and smooth. I also heard that the auto focus takes longer than normal. When I tried the auto focus through the view finder, it found the subject and focused in less than 2 seconds. In live view, about 4 seconds, which is pretty much what I experience with my other lenses. The photos have been pretty sharp. So far, the "sweet spot" has been at f4.5, but I haven't put the lens through a full test on this. I've only taken indoor photos so far so the real test comes later when I can take it outside and really put it through its paces. For those interested in this particular lens, please remember that it is an EFS lens so it is specifically for a crop sensor camera (I have the Canon EOS Rebel T7). It cannot be used on full frame cameras. Also keep in mind that with an APS-C (crop sensor) camera, you will want to consider the crop factor, which for Canon is 1.6 This means that although the lens is a 24mm, with the crop factor, the photo will look as if it was taken with a 38.4mm. But an advantage is that you will not need to step further back to take a group photo. I had to step quite a bit back in order to take a photo of 5 people with my 50mm, because with the crop factor, the lens acted like an 80mm. Also remember that this is a prime lens, so there is no zoom. But the advantage is that the aperture can open to f2.8. I would have preferred f1.8, but it's still fairly fast so no real complaint. I am extremely happy so far with this lens and look forward to testing it further, but considering that you can pay a lot of hard earned money for lenses, this is a great bargain and certainly a lens that you will want to add to your equipment list.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will it work with rebel t5i**
A: Yes this lens will work with the Rebel T5i. Matter of fact it will work with all the Rebel cameras, Kiss and triple digit series 500D-700D cameras, plus the quad digital cameras like the 1100D and SL1 series. It will also work on the 50D, 60D and 70D as well as the 7D and 7D mark II. EF-S means this is a "APS-C (Cropped Sensor)" lens.  So this lens will work on everything Canon has except its full frame cameras which are the 6D, 5D and 1D.

**Q: Already have 50mm f/1.4 on my T3. For wide-angle should I get this prime(EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM) or the EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM(~$100 more)?**
A: I have both lenses and I can say that it all depends. The 10-18mm lens is not as sharp but is much more wide angle than the 24mm prime lens. However the 24mm prime lens has much narrower depth of field. I use both for video mostly. The 10-18mm is my vlogging lens for when I need to get my whole face in the shot and the 24mm is my close up and cinematic lens. For photography, the 10-18mm is good for public places where a wide shot is desired while the 24mm is better for more close up and sometimes portrait shots. I hope this helps!

**Q: I am confused about wide angle lenses...Is this a good lense to use for portrait type pics and/or as a carry-around lense, mainly to take shots of my on vacations, etc?  Do wide angle lenses always cause that "distort" effect of making the image/face look disproportional?**
A: I’m just adding to what TwistedPretzel has already said…For what you have described in your comment, this would be a pretty good lens.  I think of it as the complement to the EF 50mm F1.8 STM on APS-C cameras.  They both share some of the same advantages (especially price to value ratio), but are for different uses.  The 50mm is more for filling the frame with a portrait, and then slicing the DOF thin to get that coveted bokeh effect.  The 24mm is more for getting more into the frame without going full wide, while also being pretty sharp.  It does experience very mild distortion around the fringes of the frame, nothing that will ruin your shots of your children.  It does not, however, have the kind of shrinking effect that ultra-wide angle lenses have, where everything looks like it is really far from you unless you are standing right on top of it.  For me, where the 50mm is about filling the frame and making the subject the most important thing in the photo, the 24mm is more about creating a scene around the subject(s), without losing sight of what is important in the photo.  With some practice, they both can create some very interesting shots.A lens you can look into, if you want one lens that can do what both these can, is the Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 XR Di II.  It is a little more than the 50mm and 24mm combined (300 USD v 275), but can do the work of both lenses.  I think the primes are a little sharper, but the Tamron isn’t bad.  I see your question is 2 years old now; I just wanted to put this info out there for anyone else that it might benefit.  I hope whatever you went with worked for you.

**Q: Is this not compatible with a full frame camera such as the Canon 6D?**
A: I know this is an old question, but I think what I have to say about this is important since I see this question a lot.

With Canon you can not use EF-S lenses on anything but the the crop sensor cameras.  This is all the Rebel series (T6, T7i), the midrange systems (77D, 80D), and the 7D.  The 6D, along with the 5D and 1D, are full frame cameras and can only mount EF lenses.  To be even more confusing, the cameras that can mount EF-S lenses can also mount EF lenses too, but all have a crop factor of 1.6x.  This is all due to the design of the EF-S lenses.  They have a small amount of protrusion from the rear of the camera, which would interfere with the mirror inside the camera.  

Even if this lens could be mounted on a full frame, it is not really the same as a 24mm full frame lens.  This is due to the lens elements being smaller, as it is only designed to work on a smaller format camera.  So you would have to crop down your image if it were possible to mount it on a full frame, to eliminate the heavy and unrecoverable vignetting around the outside of the image.  It would look like a 40mm lens at that point.  So to get the same effect, you can use the EF 40mm F2.8 STM instead.  On a full frame camera it will have the same framing, the same low light performance, and same quiet focusing, but for 180 instead of 150.  If what you need is a 24mm lens, well, Canon only has a couple and both are quite old, and much more expensive.  Sigma has some impressive primes in the Art series, but they are pretty expensive too.  There is also the Rokinon 24mm with AF that was jsut released, but I am not sure if it is a crop lens or not.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Favorite Lens So Far on the Canon T6i
*by A***Z on May 27, 2025*

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.
