Nice lens, but "shame" it is s EF-S

 

[ajfotofilmagem]

As already exists EF24mm F2.8 IS, this new EF-S 24mm STM should be F2 to make sense.

Crap! Really wish this was an EF!

Nice lens, but "shame" it is s EF-S

Good excuse to go buy a 7DII

Canonrumors nailed it again! ;D

First thought... "meh"
If it were 1.8 or 2, maybe. But 2.8? The kit lens is 3.5 at 23mm and has IS.
Again... "meh"
I'll stick with my M + 22/2

Nice!!! Why are people complaining that it is EF-S?! We already have a 40mm pancake for ff (if you want that normal view), and 24mm f/2.8 IS USM (if you want that 24mm). Chill.

25mm x 1.6x = 40mm

 

[bseitz234]

one piece? Does that mean one element?

also, pretty good MM...

was going to pass on this, seeing as I have 17-55 @ 2.8, and 28 1.8, but if it's $150 like the 40, it might be fun to play with after all...

I can't wait to get my hands on one. Glad it's EF-S. Already gave my 40mm pancake to my daughter along with a 60D.

As a guy who makes nothing out of photography this will be my next purchase if it comes below $150.

The EOS-M with 22mm f/2 is a far better option, and the package can be had for less than $300 today.
Mine came with a little flash for $300 almost two years ago.

Users of Canon SL1 should be happy. Now they have two pancakes available for a camera "pocket". ??? Depends on the clothes you wear... coat eskimo?

 

[Hillsilly]

Nice! Good to see Canon showing some EF-S interest. Wish it was EF, though.

 

[tat3406]

I will buy one if the price under $200. But first I need a crop body.

 

[ULFULFSEN]

who needs a new 100-400mm.

 

[Viggo]

I'm just glad it wasn't the long awaited 35 L II..

 

[moreorless]

Would make for a good SL1/SL2 kit lens.

 

[DRR]

My only crop body is my EOS-M and I already have the 22mm for that. So this does nothing for me unfortunately.

I am in the group that would have happily paid for this if it was EF as it gives a great wide angle option at a low price and with practically no weight penalty. I almost always pack my 40mm with my 5DII kit because it's another prime option, and it barely weighs much more than a body cap.
