An easy-to-carry lens with a compact pancake design, the Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM – Photographic lens is ideal for travel and street photography. The advanced optical design creates the same field of view as a 38mm lens for a full-frame camera, for a natural human-eye-like perspective even when shooting with an APS-C sensor. Get up to 0.16 m closer to subjects for a close-up view as you explore the world with stepping motor (STM) technology, which delivers smooth, quiet focus during movies and in live action shots. The wide f/2.8 maximum aperture lets you shoot handheld in low-light conditions and control depth of field to isolate your subject against a soft, blurred background. Compatible with all Canon EOS digital SLR cameras with an APS-C sensor and the Canon EOS M series of mirrorless cameras that use the EF-EOS M adapter. It is also suitable for capturing photos and movies with STM focusing technology.
