Lenses / Re: Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Product Advisory

Yeah I've had this happen to me multiple times, I usually detach and reattach the lens to fix it. Very annoying.

Still a fantastic lens though.

Those 50 f/1.8 bokeh nasties are not present with the shorty forty

It can be a little harsh at times, but the bokeh balls are nice and round:

I have a 5D2 and 7D. I spent about $100 including shipping.

Personally, don't change your order. The 50mm 1.8 is a great little lens and an awesome addition to your lens collection.


50 f/1.8 - shame about the nasty bokeh though - just look at those round christmas lights

It's a cheap lens, but once the bokeh is tamed it's a great lens for the money.

Those are some nice photo's you got from the 40.  I'm sure the 40 wide open (2.8) is sharper than 50 1.8 wide open (1.8), but is 50 sharper at 2.8?  I also feel exactly the same as you wrote:

"The 40mm is comparable to the 50mm 1.8 in terms of smooth bokeh, but with the 50mm 1.8 you gain a shallower depth of field which makes me wish that Canon gave this little 40mm an f-stop of 2 or even a 1.8."
Thank you!

That is a good question about sharpness with both at 2.8. I have some testing out to do tonight!

Please report back as soon as you can. I just ordered a refurbished 50, but I might send it back and get a 40 instead.
What camera do you have? How much did you spend on the 50?
