Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Pancake

pancake-1
Review Date: Jan 20, 2013 Recommend? yes | Price paid: $150.00 | Rating: 10 

 
Pros: Sharp, small, build quality, price, STM
Cons:
Nothing for the price.

What a nice great little lens!

I was curious about it, but I didn't expect such image quality from this small lens. It's sharp and feels like there is no lens on the camera, this is nice for walking around. Focus is good, STM is nice even that I haven't using it for video.

I can't ask more for this price, like it more than 50 1.8 II.

What could be better - F2, but would be bigger and more expensive.

Pros: Superb image quality, color, contrast, compact size.
Cons:
None

Amazing little lens, maybe the best EF-S in terms of image quality.
Very useful for macro, nature, landscapes, concerts, portraits...

I like to shoot hand held and with 60mm is easier than with 100(or longer) macro. Also you have larger DOF, better for close macro.

This lens now is my standard for image quality.

Here are some pictures with it:

Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

Review Date: Dec 23, 2012 Recommend? yes | Price paid: $650.00 | Rating: 9 

 
Pros: Image quality, colors, build quality, range.
Cons:
Price, not constant F4.

Very nice lens, great zoom range, very useful for traveling and walking around. It's balanced better with EOS xxD or xD body.

The only thing that I would really like to improve is constant F4 aperture. I prefer something like 15-75 IS F4.

It's expensive for 3.5-5.6 zoom IMO.

Pros: Good overall image quality for the price, nice zoom range, light.
Cons:
Slow, bad non-center image quality at 250mm.

I'm quite happy with the lens(I had 2 copies), best telephoto lens for the price. I'm using it even for birds.
