The 40mm f2.8 STM pancake lens - Canon's best budget prime lens ever



There was a time when the Canon 50mm f1.8 lens was Canon's best budget prime lens however things have changed and this accolade has changed hands. The best budget prime lens for Canon cameras is no longer the nifty fifty but the 40mm f2.8 STM pancake lens. 

After seeing some photo galleries of images captured with this lens, and seeing it in action at a camera club meet I took the plunge and ordered my very own 40mm f2.8 STM pancake lens, and what buy it has been. This little lens has been on one of my cameras since the day I bough it, and I don't see it coming off in the near future. This lens really is that good. 

For a full run down on the pros and cons of the Canon 40mm f2.8 STM please feel free to check out the short video clip above. 

If you want a small and discreet prime lens for your Canon camera the Canon 40mm f2.8 STM lens is right up your street. This really is an awesome lens, and one that comes highly recommended.
