Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake lens is an unique and very versatile lens. First of all, it's an EF lens and not EF-S like 24mm 2.8 pancake lens. It works on full frame and APS-C sensor Canon DSLR s. (Basically all Canon DSLR s.) 40mm is great on cropped sensor as 64mm equivalent which is wider than 50mm 1.8 STM (80mm equivalent). Great for indoor and out door as normal view lens. Takes decent portraits as well. Image quality is very good and build quality is very good with metal mount. It so thin and compact. It's like shooting without a lens. Focuses fast and accurately. For what it is, it's great but I do wish it had wider max aperture. It it was f/2 instead of f/2.8, then it would have been perfect. Would I purchase this lens over 50mm f/1.8 lens? No doubt this is a better lens but I still would purchase 50mm 1.8 STM over this lens if I was going to have only one prime lens as I take many portrait type shots. As a walk around and street? No doubt this is a better lens for those things.Read full review
