The Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Lens (64mm equivalent on APS-C cameras) is a unique and indispensable addition to Canon's series of EF lenses. The EF 40mm f/2.8 STM offers an ultra-slim and lightweight design. Incredibly compact in size, the EF 40mm f/2.8 STM delivers high image quality from the center to the periphery thanks to its advanced lens configuration including an aspherical element, a bright 2.8 aperture, and optimized coatings that minimize ghosting and flare while providing exceptional color balance.  The EF 40mm f/2.8 STM's unobtrusive design helps the photographer avoid overwhelming their subjects with a large lens and to remain discreet in sensitive shooting situations with no compromise in performance. Its diminutive design is complemented by features such as a newly developed stepping motor for smooth and quiet continuous AF while capturing video with the Canon EOS Rebel T4i DSLR, a circular aperture (7 blades) for beautiful soft-focus backgrounds, and a short minimum focusing distance of only 0.98 ft./0.30m.

Love this lense. Awesome little lense. In perfect condition.

Awesome lense

Great walk around lens for street photography and for times when you don't want extra weight. Image quality is very good, but do not expect it to perform like L glass. Know what you are buying. I use this on both digital Canon bodies and EOS film cameras. Very happy with my purchase.

Excellent quality for the price

This lens works as described, but I am not exactly thrilled with it, and I am not quite sure why not !  The price is right,  and it is very compact and lightweight.  It suffers a bit of barrel distortion, which is not expected on a 40 mm lens - as it surely would be on a wider angle lens product.   While it does a good job, I give it four stars as I rarely use it, and I would recommend the 50 mm if you want a "regular" lens, and the 28 mm if want a wider angle - 40 mm is just not enough to add this lens to your collection.  At least, that is my take - your mileage may vary.    Good luck.  TT

Good lens - but not outstanding

Awesome little lens. Snappy focus and great sharp images.

The autofocus on this lens is dope. It smoothly focuses on subject. Although for my indoor use, 2.8f did not solve the problem of lighting completely, but this lens did pretty good to improve it a lot.

Great lens for video

This has come to be one of my favorite lenses. This is the second time I’ve purchased it after selling the first copy years ago. The slight vignette it gives my images is something that I really enjoy. It’s super sharp and makes my camera so lightweight and easy going. For the price, it’s stellar, and even without considering the price it’s a worthy companion for my camera.

Can’t go wrong with this one!

Love the compact form  factor. Use it for street photography, weighs very little.

Great lens, fair price

This is a nice focal length. Lot's of sharpness packed in a small size. Lens itself is great. It's my walk-about lens.
I don't have a camera for it without an adapter. Ideally a small camera that can mate with the EF mount. EOS R or M6 are all fine but I have to use an adapter either way, which is a pity.

Please make a RF-mount pancake lens

This lens has a small profile, and works remarkably well. The focus is great and the lens itself is well-built.

Pleased with 40mm f2.8 Lens

Great lens

It's a really good and affordable lens, but the autofocus is a little slow. Wish it was faster.

Great lens, but AF is a little slow

So far I like the lens. I think it will be handy for everyday shots.

Nice little Lens!

Nice little lens! Does the work of a normal perspective lens - Beautiful, distortion free images! Since it's so light and tiny, it's great on full frame and crop sensor digital cameras, and it even works as a natural compliment to smaller, lightweight film cameras like my 35mm EOS Rebel Ti from 2003. If I had one thing I had to nitpick about, it would be that the focus is entirely motor-driven. You can't adjust the focus on this thing without the AF "on" at the time, like when tapping the shutter for AF. That said, it works very well!

You won't need much room for this one!

This amazing lens is a performer!  Can’t tell any quality difference when compared to other normal lenses....so why not use the smallest one they make?  Team this up with Canon’s baby DSLR and this combo will fit in a coat pocket and thus be available at all times.  Brilliant.

Carry this anywhere!

I have owned this lens since 2013 and use it often as my light walk around lens on my APS-C or Full Frame Mark IV
great sharpness center to edges, some vignette at 2.8, but can correct in photo editing. Little distortion and absolutely no flare (no need for a lens hood wonderful sunstars and a very good to best portrait lens from my full frame to APS-C M6 with canon adapter. This might be better focal length all around than the 50 mm F1.8 that is better for lower light photo and video. Close focuses to 13 inches. Bohka is very good. 50mm 1.8 newer lens has better Bohka and great for portraits.

best walk around lens.

Love this little guy!  Sharp, quick and small.  I'm using it on my 5DMk4 and my M6Mk2.  Love the focal length achieved on each of these very different cameras!

Boy oh boy!

I love this lens

Excellent focal length for APS-C bodies. Small, light, compact. May be my favorite lens!

Better than a 'nifty fifty'

Love all the pancake lens.  This was the las of them.  Lens work great for the price!

Great lens!

very happy

The excellent sharpness is hampered by very sluggish autofocus.
From full out to full in it takes 3 seconds. That's just ridiculous.
At least it is compact and light.

Sluggish

This lens is very slow to focus. Customer Service gave me a run-around...
Not impressed. Will probably shop elsewhere.

Not impressed.

Nice little lens for every day walk around use. Lightweight and small.

Nice lens

Solid lens for the price. Automatic is of course a little slow taking that it is a pancake lens, but not too slow for street shooting.

Solid lens for the price.

This is a fun and functional lens that's sharp and clear all around. I bought this mainly for the low profile build to keep a street camera light and portable. I'm now finding that I love 40mm vs 50mm for some reason. For me at least, it's just the right length for a lot of the portrait and cityscape shots i take. I do wish it were a stop better but you can't complain at this price having a fixed 2.8 lens. For the price of this lens, this is a no brainer to keep in your bag or on your camera when portability is paramount.

Bought for portability but used much more than expected

Lovely little lens. Very nice and compact and super sharp. Canon ( or any other manufacturer) need to make more lenses like this! Very small even with adapter on my Sony too

Awesome lens

A great little pancake lens perfect. So light and minimal and great for an everyday carry.

Great Pancake Lens

The bundle blew me away! Not only do you get a genuine canon lens, but you also get a great selection of extras which werent terrible at all. The lens pouches were excellent quality and the circular polarizer is doing its job. Very pleased with all these goodies. Adorama is the best.

Wow get the Bundle Kit!

Nice compact lens. Perfect for my purpose. Auto focus is quite fast on my m50. This lens with my camera makes a very compact package for digital scoping which is my main purpose. Lens looks new. Great price. Good senseable buy.
