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

If you are a Canon clan photographer, you already have or had this glass. "The Parable of Love for Pancakes" The first time I bought it was in 2022. in addition to EOS 100D (18MP) and a good half of filming until mid-2022. it spent on the carcass. In 2022, the camera changed to 80D (24MP), then a faster brother EF35 f2 IS USM appeared and the pancake began to lie idle, more and more, because it was many times inferior to EF35mm in all respects, except for the picture (all of the same high…

I really liked this lens! On a Canon 5D DSLR, I had an EF 24-70mm f / 2.8L for a long time and I thought that on my new Canon RP mirrorless camera I would limit myself to it . unfortunately, it turned out to be noisy when recording video and I ordered a Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM after seeing many positive reviews about it. The lens directly "merged" with the camera - they matched each other so much :) I just liked everything: weight, size, sharpness at an open aperture, and also quiet - almost…

fell in love with it from the first use! I put it on a brand new mark 3 and made sure that they fit perfectly to each other, and no elka is needed! :) Has pros: sits perfectly on the camera, perfect assembly: nothing knocks, does not fidget, Vignetting at full frame, which makes portraits better (does not require post-processing) suitable for any situation, except for remote shooting. Different cons: at first, the focus stuck when I put on a filter or lens hood, but over time everything went…

My quick personal feedback.With its pros: Compactness, sharpness in the open, price, focusing speed Cons: on a full frame, not ideal geometry, but these are trifles

The picture is dry, it doesn’ the object from the background, but the bokeh is tolerable (7 aperture blades - no nuts or rings) but not amazing in speed, - on chetverochku. With its pros: Sufficiently "bright" lens, neutral bokeh, good color reproduction, Has cons: Autofocus is quite slow and doesn' have a crop) when the diaphragm is closed, understand the enthusiasm in the reviews on this topic at all.

My transparent review of this item.I am very pleased with the pancake, I shoot at 60 I catch less and less, as it constantly smears, 2.8, excellent glass!

Revealing my honest thoughts.Pros below: Color, Sharpness, Depth, Volume, Low price for this glass. Different cons: "Pancake" compactness, which cannot be a drawback.

noise during manual focusing can be avoided by smoother rotation of the ring (not always acceptable, but the feeling that the STM seems to resonate with fast refocusing) Different pros: weight / size, price, quality of the picture immediately from 2.8, uniform focus over the entire field Cons below: noise during manual focusing (for video, it can be critical), the "trunk" must be protected from being pressed (it can jam when the cover is installed, after restarting the camera it is restored…

My unbiased take on this item.Has some pros: Delivery was a week faster than it should have been! indeed! Different cons: Loud AF, although the video does not seem to be heard

Remarkable enough strong portrait lens (although everything else can also be shot) for amateur photographers like me - a godsend and not expensive

STM, judging by the advertisement, should not make noise, on the 650D I tried to shoot video noise from the motor, not good for video, I am satisfied with the purchase, focusing does not work when the camera is turned off (this is a feature of the lens)

Got pros: The main advantage of this lens, in addition to decent technical characteristics, all the advantages of a SLR camera, such as the presence of a viewfinder, a fast shutter, remain. Its cons: Since this lens is discontinued in February 2022, the price of this lens will only go up.

"Pancake" For such a price, combined with the quality of the images, it can be put at the forefront of the entire Canon lens line.

Nice lens, it turns from universal to highly specialized :-) as a weightless lens for portraits from a distance of 1-2m - that's it! For a 35mm matrix, respectively, it's a completely different matter.

Has pros: Compact fix with good aperture! On the 650D crop - a good (40 * 1.6 = 64mm) sharp, well-assembled, for such a price there is also a metal mount! Its cons: Not a solid camera appearance with this pancake, but happiness is not in size.

Great for panoramas - no distortion - at 5.6 and 8 excellent sharpness - you can shoot with a regular tripod, the nodal point is practically not moved forward

Pros below: - Sharpness at the level of L-lenses! - Acceptable autofocus speed, although slower than USM - Uniquely compact Has cons: - dust - Afraid of blows and even strong pressure on the trunk - No distance scale

in general, according to the angle of view, is just 43mm, not 50, as is commonly believed, yes, the aperture ratio is less, but the pancake is more compact and lighter, and it is also made of metal, and not from waste, like half a century. Pros: small, light, it’ plug", but is actually a very interesting lens. 6d with it turns out like a "compact", sometimes they are even surprised when they find out that this is a DSLR and not a hyperzoom soap box. With its cons: The manual focus ring is very…

Without an option choice for an amateur, Its pros: Great picture quality! Firm, expensive canon drawing! For a photo, a very convenient focal length on a crop, quiet enough, it is not inferior, and sometimes even superior (canon 28mm 1.8) to much more expensive lenses 10-18 Definitely better than any zoom price less than 20 Cons below: The tube extends when focusing at 2-9mm, which of course will in dust, on the 650th canon)

Pretty light, compact, (size smiles) Despite the price and size, it is very sharp, In all respects, Ru/users/uliss69/album/135747/ Decided to ate the review with new photos: page=1 On the journey, As a summary, I would recommend it as a standard lens for full-size cameras
