Review on Crystalline Precision Captured: Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens Unveiled by Hiral Gupta ᠌

I waited a long time for this glass to appear on sale in Hong Kong, but due to the situation on the market, the prices turned out to be very high, as a result I ordered it on e-bay from Japan. I shoot with a 650D and have a number of relatively budget lenses, including a 40mm f2.8 STM with a similar design that was my favorite. Now I have two favorite lenses. The rest of the large and heavy glasses do not particularly want to carry around with you all the time, and these two are a great team. Of course, the sharpness of the new pancake is smaller, but the focal length is very good, more versatile. On a 40mm crop, it was sometimes narrow. The picture is soft, the bokeh is a bit elongated, like a film. At the time of purchase (March 2022), a correction profile appeared for both camera raw and carcass - this completely compensates for kick and chromatism. Focuses quickly and almost silently, great for video. A lens for cropped matrices, so it doesn’t particularly pretend to be a professional segment, but for more mundane conditions it’s quite an acceptable option in terms of price / picture quality ratio. I recommend it as an excellent replacement for whale optics, versatility and compactness allow you to constantly carry the camera with you.
