A large aperture ("f-stop") is no longer a requirement for low-light photography, in the same way that it was back in the days of film or sub-ISO800 sensors. Plus, if you want shallow DoF, then a 24mm lens is anyway not the lens to use.

Amazon UK give a release date of 7 November, preorders taken now. I presume that most other retailers are doing the same, and it will be the same in other countries. It's tempting me to buy a 100D (SL1) as a pocket camera.

Please let me know what you think of it. It's only thing I can afford for myself and i've been dying to get a wider prime than my 50 but I want to make sure if it's worth it or if should save up more for something else. Thanks!

I was getting quite frustrated with all the "reviews" online saying it will probably be the same as the 40mm pancake and commenting on it's great image quality without physically having hands-on experience with the lens. It's Murphy's law that the moment I complain about no X then X is available and I look like a doooofus. I should complain more in life, I'll look like an idiot more often but at least my problems will get solved. Hehehe
Agree, it does look good especially considering the price. My copy is now officially on it's way.

it will fit and work on 7D and on all other Canon DSLRs with APS-C sensor [all digital rebels, all xxD, 7D/II]. Just like all other EF-S lenses.
Like all Canon EF-S lenses it will *not work* on Canon "full sensor" DSLRs [6D, 5D/II/III, 1D-X].

It's an EF-S lens, and EF-S lenses fit the 7D. Was the Amazon buyer trying to fit it on the front of the supplied kit lens? There are some really good reviews on Amazon, but you some are to be ignored. Maybe the buyer could not find the red dot, mounting a lens can be a technical challenge...panchoskywalker said:
The only Canon Eos cameras not suitable for this lens are the 6D, 5D & 1D series, and film cameras. The Eos M can take this lens with Canon's adapter.
After reviewing the 50/1.8 II on Amazon UK, I received a buyer question asking if one would fit a Panasonic bridge camera. Once the tears of laughter had subsided, I politely replied.
Amazon listings can be equally wrong. According to Amazon UK the new 24-105 STM is a pancake lens. That would be an impressive technical achievement

A discrete partner for my 70D
, or a pocketable alternative for unplanned shots when I take my 70-200 F/4 (just like when Neuro takes his 40mm with his 1Dx and 600mm... on a slightly smaller scale ;D ).
