p.1 #1 · New Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Pancake Lens!
A unique and indispensable addition to Canon’s series of EF lenses, the new EF 40mm f/2.8 STM offers an ultra-slim and lightweight design. Incredibly compact in size, the 40mm f/2.8 lens delivers high image quality from the center to the periphery, thanks to its advanced lens configuration including an aspherical element, a bright 2.8 aperture, and optimized coatings that minimize ghosting and flare, while providing exceptional color balance.
Here are the main highlights:

Having a small lens is nice if you have a slimmer body like the micro four thirds camera, but if you have a dslr then 1inche or 3-4 inches, it really doesn't matter. May be Canon is making a move towards 4/3rds by launching this, I don't know. Why not a cheap 17mm or 14mm f4 rather than 40mm. And I will rather buy the 1.8 for half the price.
To Canon: Instead make it two/three inches and make it faster. And we have a two 30s and three 50s prime. Give us 14-24 or cheaper ultra wides.

I was hoping it would compete better (speed wise) with the voightlander 40mm offering, but at 2.8 . It's probably gonna be sharp as a tack and it's super light but not gonna do it for a 2.8

If it's sharp as a tack it could end up being a fun lens for street shooting. A small unobtrusive autofocus lens. I don't know, but I'm looking forward to seeing what this thing can do!

Honestly, I'm already thinking how small a package this will be on a Rebel body (my wife better lock hers up). If you are a Canon user, this is as small as it gets, and I've resisted the urge to buy into yet another platform just to have another, smaller camera.

I meant to ask this question here. Sorry for the other post but I would like to jnow if lenses get tried out before they ship, similiar to a premodel Camera. Does everyone just preorder and if its no good return it it or sell it?
