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

. and I don't even want to find fault with this magical "pancake". Absolutely. Boring bores may notice the difficulties of manual focusing, "all-inclusive-for-free" lovers may complain about the lack of a stub, and you can just complain about small geometry distortions, infrequent focus misses, etc. etc. You know what? Do something else. Does the lens have a hard time with manual focus? So you should be aware of this before buying, the lens is no longer new. You need a manual - there is a SEA of optics for you, go and swim in it as much as you like. For everyday tasks (and it seems to me that this is what the subject is for), the autofocus of this lens works out perfectly. The glass also works perfectly in terms of the image, but it’s impolite to even stutter about the stub for that kind of money. And stupid. "Stabilizers" in younger models are still dead poultices, but really working ones start in completely different engineering and price categories. This lens and an old EOS 400D - that's all the photographic equipment that was with me for more than a month in China. It was a kind of experiment - how I feel with only one 40mm lens, and even not on the newest camera, to put it mildly. And, you know, it was the very experiment that, firstly, turned me towards fixes, and secondly, proved the incredible UNIVERSALITY of this glass. They filmed everything and everything, and the result was on the level every time. Landscape, portrait, genre - whatever your heart desires, as long as there is skill and patience. And all this with a very modest size. It's been over a year since I left Canon, but I still have fond memories of this lens.
