Review on Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Lens - Fixed Black (6310B002) for US Cameras by Jongkol Amphaiphit ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

I bought the first DSLR in my life (canon 650d) and this lens instead of the stock one. I shoot photos and videos: 50/50, so I chose a lens with STM - with quiet autofocus, but unfortunately when recording video - with auto \ manual focus - the motor is very clearly audible, what is the point of STM then - it's not clear. But he was not particularly upset, because he takes awesome pictures, when the photo is enlarged to the original size - there are no pixels, blurs, etc. - which shocked me after ordinary soap dishes. And yet - on a crop, 40mm turn into 60 somewhere, and this is not always convenient, for example, to make a waist-length portrait, you need to move 7-10 steps away from a person, although it’s enough to step away from an ordinary soap dish for a couple of steps. Well, when walking around Hong Kong - not all buildings fit into the frame. to remove the chimes on Red Square, you need to almost go to the opposite side of the square. In general, the lens is excellent, but not for video ((

Pros
  • quality, sharpness
Cons
  • not good for video

Great lens for Canon cameras. Even on the crop it is very good, what can we say about the full frame! Stunning sharpness at all apertures. Very light and small. You can easily put it in your jacket pocket. I'm very glad I bought this pancake!
