Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Wide Angle Lens - U.S.A. Warranty

Learn about the Canon EF-S 24MM F2.8 STM Wide Angle Lens

It’s a common adage that “size doesn’t count—but rather how you use it.” They might as well have been talking about the Canon EF-S 24MM F2.8 STM Wide Angle Lens. (We at Adorama hope that’s what they were talking about.) Not only is the Canon 24mm “pancake lens” more than it appears, but it’s actually so small and so light that it’s among the smallest and lightest EF-S lenses you’ll likely ever encounter. We’re not joking. The lens width? Barely wider than a nickel. That’s a lot of power from a small lens. And rather than a small lens giving you fewer options to work with, this wide-angle lens actually has plenty of options to sate your photography appetites. Observe:

• Full-time manual focus while in autofocus mode. This is a favorite feature for professional photographers who really like to tinker with their equipment, especially when it comes to lens focus. The Canon 24mm offers manual focusing full-time, which includes while in autofocus mode. What does this mean? It means that you have total control over the focus of your shot without ever sacrificing the pure smooth convenience of the autofocus itself. If you don’t want to use it on manual, you can simply leave autofocus as it does its “autofocus thing.” This is perfect for amateurs and professionals alike.
• Speaking of autofocus, the stepping motor (STM) provides plenty of quiet autofocus operation, which is especially handy when you decide to take your talents live and record a bit of video. Want to record video at a wedding, moving from a close subject to the far-off maid of honor as she gives her speech? Then your autofocus will handle the job, not only shifting focus but doing it in a way that doesn’t distract from the audio of the film itself.
• Lightweight. How lightweight? So lightweight we at Adorama present its weight in grams: 125. A lightweight lens means easy interchangeability, as well as a diminished load when it comes to carrying your professional photography equipment. Want to have your camera and extra lenses handy when the right photograph comes along? Then you’ll want something like the Canon 24mm handy. There are major advantages to being small, especially when you’re a lens.
• Versatility. Go ahead - feel free to get in nice and close to an object. The closest focus of 6 inches offers plenty of versatile range that covers an entire spectrum of subjects, whether you’re shooting live events like weddings or taking someone’s portrait. And the wide-angle lens is more than capable of taking gorgeous landscape shots that distort reality into something completely new and original.
• You’ll also receive a lens cap, a lens dust cap, and Canon’s 1 year limited warranty for the Canon 24mm, which gives you protection should you decide that the Canon 24 2.8 pancake is your favorite photographer’s object of all time and that you need to have it on you every moment of every day.

Ideal for landscapes and scenery, but capable of handling plenty more, the lightweight and even tiny Canon EF-S 24MM F2.8 STM Wide Angle Lens offers the proverbial “big things in small packages” that they’re always talking about. Except this time, it applies to your camera, and not to your…laptop.
