all-rounder EF-S 24 mm f/2.8 STM – review

I had made a german video about the Canon EF-S 24 mm f/2.8 STM all-round APS-C-lens, a more less than more spectacular lens for APS-C-cameras. Nevertheless it is a kind all-rounder. – Now here is the english video, not simply as a translation of the german video, but really an original video with some additional examples and pictures.

Canon takes us by surprise with this cheap EF-S 24 mm f/2.8 STM !

The EF-S 24 mm f/2.8 STM is very unspectacular – but offers very surprising results. This lens does not try to be a specialist in any use. It is rather more an all-rounder. It is rather more the not conspicuous companion and the completely unburdening assistant. So this special lens only for APS-C-cameras has really deserved some attention! While this lens with complete justification fights for a silver or bronze medal I needed to offer you a review via youtube.

For me it was the neccessarity to have a lens with a shorter focal distance than 35 mm. At the same time offering better results than the EF-S 15-85 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM. It was my inner refusal to pay the money for an EF 24 mm f/2.8 IS USM, that is as low-priced or as expensive as an EF 35 mm f/2.0 IS USM – but by far not as good as that! – The price of 150 Euro, spent for the 24-mm-pancake, was the low risk for a surprising good deal.

common all-rounder far better than bad average

Later image editing changes photographs, taken with a Canon EF-S 24 mm f/2.8 STM, to the better. Nevertheless, beyond the best the results are really remarkable! See my video and find out, if this lens might be a lens for you. But let me promise you: This all-round lens is more than a lens better than none! And is much more than a bad average. If you level the results up by more or less image editing, the EF-S 24 mm STM becomes a really good and modest companion to serve your ambitions.
