I had high hopes for this lens because I have the 40mm pancake and it is one of my favorite lenses
I expected the STM lens to be as quiet as other STM lenses normally are
After having this lens for a few years now, I can honestly say it is one of my favorite lenses to use for landscape and for getting wide angle film clips
I typically abuse my lenses, so the size is a definite plus. fairly quick autofocus but not silent
It's one of my sharpest lenses in my kit, and I own a VERY expensive 70-200mm f/2.8
The colors are nice and rich, and it’s a good walk around lens.
The lens is tack-sharp wide open, with excellent contrast and color
Color aberration, or lack of it, is incredible for a lens at this price and tier
The lens feels sturdy (metal mount), is pretty sharp and the colors pop well
The lens produces sharp, vivid colors, good contrast, and I did not notice any chromatic aberration around the edges that are characteristic of some wide angle lens
My review is not intended to disparage the quality of the
The photos are all very blurry even in auto non-flash and the edges aren't crisp.. really disappointed as I really really wanted to like product and after testing two they didn't meet expectation.
Very good quality lens for the price alongside the "nifty
It’s a great portrait lens, offering much better quality photos
Great lens for the money...clearer than my nifty 50...and tremendous build quality.
This is a great little pancake lens that turns my EOS100D into a straight forward 35mm camera
great pancake lens for my canon 70d, steps up to something like 37mm with the crop frame
This pancake lens feels very sturdy and is very compact

It's a nice little pancake lens, and it seems to do it's job well

It’s a great portrait lens, offering much better quality photos
The photos come out very sharp and it's wonderfully light
We have this lens on an old 20D body, and the photos turned out great.
The only problem is, I find that photos between f4-f2.8 are very distorted, otherwise it takes great shots.
This lens is quickly becoming my favorite walk around lens
It does alright for landscapes and is a good walk around lens on my Canon
The colors are nice and rich, and it’s a good walk around lens.

Because it's so lite and compact this little pancake lens makes a good walk around option

Unfortunately I did not have a sturdy tripod when taking these photos so the images are not very sharp but overall I am thrilled with this lens
QualityFor a lens this size and its price point, this little thing takes some fantastic images
The build quality is cheap, not going to lie, but the image this thing captures is top notch
I've been happy with the image quality, images look fairly sharp and the f2.8 helps when the lighting isn't great.
probably makes a difference :-o)Anyway, if you want a cheap wide angle, get this lens
Its angle of view isn’t as large as I would like, and the lack of a zoom destroys any ability to “crop” the scene with the lens; however, it is a good angle of view, is very sharp, very fast, and a pleasure to use on the camera
I take it wherever I go - its nice to have a quick AF wide-angle indoor that's not super expensive.

Great wide angle lens, I use it all the time in tight spaces like indoors
Pros : excellent photos in bright lightVery sharp when area is in focusPleasant background blurring or bokeh at wide apertureCan focus on very near objects - does macros wellFlat and lightCons : indoors or outdoors after sunset seems to require very high ISO or a flashFocusing is quiet, but does not track fast enough for normal video
Like any camera a tripod or monopod enhances low light shooting - when the venues allow them!!!Autofocus works well and the transition to and from manual for certain shots is quick such as into museum display cases and wildlife in foliage that could otherwise spoof an autofocus
Great for general purpose shooting, as well as for selfies when you hold your camera at arm’s length.
Don't get this lens if you're looking for a lot of background bokeh though; due to the focal length and maximum aperture you can only get a small amount of background blur when focusing about 5-10 feet away (see the attachment).

It performs great a s a walk around lens as well, though you dont have a zoom range like on a traditional walk around lens it gives great wide angle shots as well as close ups second to none
Within two months started to make a very loud clicking noise when trying to focus
If it's constantly trying to auto focus, the noise drives me crazy
but I had two products sent and both had a weird humming noise, focus hunts a bit too
Motor makes a funny noise when trying to focus but will not focus
