EOS-R, RF and EF Lenses of all types.
Hello Stuart -- I use both the 40mm f/2.8 and the 50mm 1.8 STM all the time. The EF40mm f/2.8 definitely has a full frame image circle -- someone misled you. This 40mm is so very small on the 6D that it makes a great street lens. At night I use my 35mm f1.4 -- much bigger but beautiful wide open!Stuart said:My main go to lens is the 50mm STM on my 6D - Other lenses i have/use are 24-105F4, 70-300, 70mm macro.
Its great in low light, yes i'd like something f.8 in the range 80-150.
For street work i do wonder if a 35mm model might be more creative overall, but these are all quite expensive.
the 40mm pancake image circle is to small on the 6D, so not suitable.
As a value for money lens the 50mm 1.8 STM seems great.
The Canon EF85mm f1.8 is a delightful portrait lens shot wide open as well.
Enjoy!
