- I've had the Canon 24mm f/2.8 for about 5 years now, and I figured it was time I talk about it! Also to maybe inform some people about a lens they might not know exists, because unless you're searching by lowest price, you probably have never come across this one.
If you are looking for an in-depth review with photo and video examples, then you've come to the right place!

I shoot on a Canon 80D, which is a crop censor, so keep that in mind, but I still think no matter what camera you have, you'll love this lens. If you someone out there with the 24mm PLEASE let me know in the comments, because I feel like I am one of five people who own this thing! Also if you are a photographer, share your favorite lens in the comments!!

Ive been professionally shooting for 7yrs & my main go to is my 24mm. I do a lot of classic cars, custom Harley’s & tattooed models. I also use it for tattooed sessions & has earned me few publications. My Canon is a 24mp 2000D.
Thanks for this information
I also shoot classic cars. I have book of tattoo's but want to shoot at a shop.
@@urbannpa within this last year I got picked up by a car magazine. Aaand thats been a goal since I started. It is really awesome to meet someone who also photographs nervous, classic cars.
Я тоже хочу купить его к моей Canon 2000D!
I agree. Ive spent thousands of dollars on lenses for video.....I pulled this thing out because I had to film in a low light situation and was blown away..its sharper than most of my lenses and has a really nice cinematic bokeh will little to no effort. Just looks fantastic. I use it on every shoot now.
This review is fantastic! I absolutely loved watching a lens review that wasn't so tech focused. Great job highlighting the practical uses and examples for video and photo. Cheers!
You re a good story teller. This channel deserves more views
Your review was just what I needed, straight to the point and I love that you have the timestamps which is so convenient. Great job and just liked and subscribed!
I found in this lens my current favorite one. I like better longer focal, my best looking lens is a 135mm, but this 24mm is my best one overall. This lens feels like a counterpart of the kit lens, 24mm does pretty much the same as a zoom but in a fixed lens. Sure, the kit lens goes closer, wider, change at any time, get the normal flat feeling and great wide distortion, but the 24mm/38mm due to crop factor, falls into that unique sweet spot where does anything, wide and close at the same time, focus less closer than 55mm, but achieve a 2.8 rather a 5.6, it still has distortion and because of that you can get a little of the "panoramic wide style" of a truly wide lens, but because it still emphasize, helping it's 2.8, you get those nice portrait shoots, with a different nice feeling than the always looking 50-85mm. All that stuff put into the lightest and smallest autofocus lens you could ever attach to a canon aps-c. I'm experienced, I worry about my money, took me like 5 years to choose it but once I found out what is made of, I'm more than happy.
I've heard the "focal length of the human eye" thing mentioned over the years in a number of different ways and learned human vision is pretty complicated. We've got a central spot of sharp vision (fovial) that our eye kind of "jitters" and our brain combines into sharp images at a narrow angle of view. Then we've got the length you're describing, 24mm (basically between 35mm-43mm on full frame), which is what a human eye can comfortably see as it scans a scene without a person moving their head. I found that 100mm full-frame most closely approximates what my eye/brain sees when composing still photography. 20-28mm (full frame) is like what a human can comfortably see moving both their head and eyes but standing still. Then wider than that they're going to be moving their shoulders/feet too.
OMG, I found what I needed. Straight to the point. Thank you so much!!!
you're so very welcome!
This was one of my first lenses after my 18-55 kit lense. It is a good but underrated lense Thank you to bring this video. After years I was going over to the EF L lenses, but I have retain this lense in my arsenal until today. Good video from you and thanks for this.
Thanks for this honest review, I've been thinking about this lens for a while for vlogging, and it seems like it will be a perfect fit for most of my work.
I hope it is the perfect fit for you!
Great video. I ordered one before I came across your video but now I'm even more excited to try it out!
Hope you enjoy it!
This is my go-to lens. Even with a crop factor of 1.6, I still have a 38mm focal length.
Nice!! I was thiking of getting this one. Sold on it now! Thanks!
You've gained a sub!!
I find ur observations of this lens is highly absorbing particularly for closeup & landscape this lens is really really convenient.. thanks a lot!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the review, was looking for a fast wide angle lense to get some background blur in my videos, so this review was really helpful!
I'm so glad to hear that thank you for watching!
Thanks much. For me, there is not much difference in picture quality between the 24 and the kit lens. But the 24 is easier to work with. The zoom is easily done by walking forward. Usually. Unless a cliff is nearby.
This was so simple and to the point. And so easy for me to understand without the tech terminology that just leave you feeling lost.
I'm so happy you were able to gain something from this video! This is so wonderful to hear, thank you for sharing 💚
Hi, I have a 18-55mm what’s the difference between this one and the one I have? Should I buy a new one if the one I have goes to 24mm?
Is 50mm f1.8 or 24mm f2.8 is better for both photography and videography?
If i could bothering you with a couple of questions about this lens or a similar lens, if you look in some of my most recent videos where i fixing a guitar on a bench and i have my iphone and using it´s front camera, the quality is very poor i would say, how ever, i have a Canon 80D with a kit lens 18-55mm but it´s not really good for inside video because it will not let enough much light in and it will be distorted and it´s impossible to get up that close with the camera that i need if i am about to have the camera on the same bench as the guitar i am fixing. My thoughts go like this, what if i could find a lens that is about 15-25mm with a zoom so that i can just put my fingers on the lens and zoom if i cant to show something very close, but also a lens that let in quite alot more light than the 18-55mm kit lens, f/1,4 or f/2.8 would maybe work ?? Ohh and the price should be not to high as well.. thank you very much.. :D
I completely agree with you, Annelies; I love this lens. It just seems to take great photos. I'd also recommend the 55 - 250 STM for photography, sharp and with excellent IS. I don't think it can be beaten for its price.
I truly wish they made this lens for the RF camera mount, because now I learned since it is a EF-S lens, there is a crop factor with the EF to RF adapter! so it's not a true 24mm on my R5, but I still gravitate towards it and love it! I'll have to check out the 55-250 👍🏼
the 55-250 is my most favourite lens ever.. not that I've had many lol but it never leaves my camera. I even do portraits with it. I prefer not to be right in someone's face.. more comfortable for me and the 'model'
Excellent informative video. 👍
Nice review... Informative and I plan to use this for my livestreams and to shoot my review videos. Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching! Glad to hear it was helpful!
Wonder how it does on things like the night sky? Milky way or night scapes? Guess I'll use it and see since I own one just haven't tried it yet.
Thank you! As a new TH-camr, this was super-helpful!
So thrilled to hear it! Good luck on your TH-cam journey!
I love this Lens i have 24mm + 50mm + speedbooster, on my m50 it is the equivalent of 38,4mm + 56.8mm + 80mm.
Hey just found your channel and I love your content! I’ve been checking our videos to see if the 24mm is worth it and your video was super fun to watch. I shoot everything with the nifty fifty and i love the results so far. 24mm is super tempting tho 😭
Great video, it was a big help!!! Thank you!
Glad it helped!!!
Thank you‼️great tutorial, new subscriber and I’m sure I will learn much from you❗️
Thanks so much for subscribing!
Muy buena explicación, saludos de Buenos Aires!
Just got this lens yesterday, seems really great so far. I like the wideness of it. I was planning on getting the 50mm 1.8 but decided on the 24mm first. Slowly working on a short film and I think the 24mm and 50mm are the lenses I need. Great video! Also, it's $150 new but sells for $120 via the Canon refurbish store. So cheap, hard to pass up.
so glad you got your hands on this lens! I think going with the 24 was totally the right move, and I hope you're able to get the 50 soon!
@@AnneliesVeldman I got the 50mm for Christmas!
The 50 mm is a great lens too, but I find it focus hunts quite a bit for video, so you made a good move getting the 24 mm, Jank.
50mm is too near that's what I don't like
@@goldenfrog6EsCoSes Ok, thank you, I have been torn between the 50 and 24! In addition to the video, your comment was helpful !
Congratulations... i m also have one of this lenses... and i Just Love it... it is very versatile... ✌👍
I agree with everything you said, I have 7 lenses now and this is the one that I use the most because of it's weight, aperture and because it's less intrusive in family meetings, it's not as huge as my Sigma ART 1.4 30mm nor as heavy and long as my 18-135mm
Those big lens scare people because they feel like they are in a professional studio and they feel like they need to have better clothes or make up for it! it's crazy
Also because of how tiny this lens is I use this 24mm STM lens instead of the cap when stored hehe
This really helped 😺
This lens with my Zcam F6 in 4K 120FPS mode is the best ever...So amazing
I am a newbie and I was so stressed between a 50mm and 35mm for my 6ti because 50mm is actuakly 80mm and the 35mm is wayyyy too expensive. It wasn't until one person online recommended 24mm and I researched it, it's exactly what I need! Versatile and not too crazy expensive! I never hear about it!!
The T6i was my first camera - it's fantastic. Both the 24 mm and the 50 mm are great lenses on this camera. By the way, don't stress, Chelle - it's a hobby and supposed to relax you.
On a crop censor camera the 24mm is equal to 38mm. I have a 40mm pancake lens which translate to a 64mm and I use this all the time, great for street photography and it is awesome for portrait work, the bonus here is that it cost less than the 24mm by $20 to $30 ...... The 50mm f1.8 works out to be a 80mm pretty much the best focal length for portraits and you cant be the 1.8 for low light situations. If you shop around you can probably get all three for around $400 and you would be covered for every situation except telephoto situations.
informative indeed
Thanks, cutie, I recently bought this lens and I am very impressed too with the versatility and image quality, besides, I really enjoyed your explanation about this lens be not too common for close ups. Greetings from Brazil.
Thanks for sharing!
24mm equivalent 38mm on full frame: 24 x 1,6 crop factor = 38mm - 50mm x 1,6 crop factor = 80mm on full frame which then becomes a perfect lens for portraits mounted on APS-c. I have both 24 and 50, but on the 7D I have the 24 which I hardly ever take off. I mount the 18-200 only in the case of nature or sports photography. Hello, greetings from Italy.
this is super helpful, thank you!
i have the canon 80d and i want some good lens for that camera i was told to get the 24-70 and the 16-35 but they're for full frame cameras but i have a crop sensor but they seem to take great pictures i want to get better but i'll buy lenses that will work with my 80d i don't want to be buying the wrong camera lenses. i only want a few lenses. i have 2 full frame lenses and no crop sensor lens but i'm trying to see what happens. i do this as a hobby So i'm not rich like that i paid 500 for the 80d camera body with no lenses and then i bought the 16-35 and the 50mm i took some nice pictures but i want to take sharp pictures everytime that's why i'm learning all of the camera modes to see which one i'm going to like. so can you tell me about the 17-55mm 24mm 10-18mm 55-250mm and the 18-135mm which one do i need to buy for the 80d
Do you think it will work for shooting in a small room?... Like fashion video?.. please reply it will be helpful
I would say that this would be a good lens to give a try, sicne its on the wider side. I would hoenstly say it would depend on how tall you are and how small the room is. I would suggest looking and seeing if your local camera shop does rentals on this lens, so you can test it out! Typically a rental wouldnt be too expensive and then you would know if it would fit with your particular set up! but my guess is that it would work out pretty well!
What setting do you use with this lens?
It varies by set up, but typically when filming one of my sit down videos in front of my lights I do f/2.8, 1/50 shutter speed, 100 iso, 24fps, 1080p. Hope this helps!
Thanks a lot for great info :)
You're welcome!
Do you use an external mic when recording your videos? I used to own this lens and it was so loud when it would autofocus
I do! I use the RODE Video MicPro + and that helps prevent any focus sounds from my lenses picking up on camera
Super helpful. Subbed.
Thanks so much!
Is the Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens good for taking photos at a comic con or anime convention?
I would say yes, if you are trying to get a lot of info in your frame. So I think it would be really great for the convention halls, or for getting a full body shot of cosplays.
I just got this lens for my birthday, and I am a total beginner. I need to know how to set my camera up and need help. Do you have a video on settings for the Rebel t7 with this lens? I hope so! Thank you in advance!
I'm so sorry I don't have any videos on that camera. I wish you the best of luck with this new camera! and Happy belated birthday! I would recommend checking out people like Pat Kay, Julia Trotti, Tony & Chelsea Northrup, Katelyn James and John Branch IV Photography. I can't necessarily say that any of them will have a specific video on your camera, but for a beginner, I think you'd love their videos in regards to general photography advice.
Can I use this lens with a 10mm extension tube to capture wide angle macros? Did you ever tested this? Thanks
Unfortunately I don't have an answer for this one! I'm so sorry, I'm not familiar with extension tubes
Will the Canon EF-S 24mm f2.8 STM fit onto a full Frame body like the 5D? I know it's designed for APS-C bodies, but I've read competing views as to whether it will actually fit onto a full frame body, albeit with some vignetting.
no, lens is ef-s so its only for apsc (24mm x 1.6 crop = 38.4mm full frame equivalent)
@@yama9676 Okay, thanks for clearing that up for me!
If you have a camera (and lenses), what is your favorite lens? (just trying to add more to my wishlist😂)
30mm f1.4 but it’s too cropped so I’m going to get this one
Canon EF 35mm F1.4
85mm 1.8 is my favorite lens it’s so sharp and the bokeh is beautiful love it for headshots and 3/4 body shots
I almost to sell this lens, until i watched your video, this encourage me to rethinking to keep this lens in my arsenal 😋
Nice to see your youtube channel, hope your journey will end well.
Please wish me luck, i'm going to make my youtube channel but hasitate because i feel i can't make a good video, and your videos, your personality gave me courage to step on.. hahaha
Would you still give the win to the 50mm 1.8 for sharpness?
That's a hard one, I think it depends on what aperture I'm shooting at, but I think I would still give that to the 50
the closest to the human eye is actually 35-50mm, but you said 24 because the APC sensor cameras like yours do a 1.6x crop = 38.4mm ! I also do recommend you to use some lights on your youtube video setups, it you'd look nice (more cinematic and higher quality since you will have to use less ISO to compensate) I hope that helps :)
Aps-c*
"And if you're not one of those people, I hope you enjoy hanging out with me for a bit hearing me talk about one of my favorite camera pieces"
I feel so included 😁
It makes me so happy to know you like watching the videos no matter what! Thanks for your continued support :)
@@AnneliesVeldman I came here for the accident story, I stayed for your personality ^_^
Hi do you know wide lens apart from 24mm.
I also recommend the 10-18mm which is great for landscapes or big group shots
Can this lens work on a canon rebel 90d?
Yes!
Literally getting this camera for hauls and that’s it. I have a sigma 30mm it’s just too wide and my room is on the smaller side. I would use the kit lens but it doesn’t give bokeh 🥴😭
the 24mm is literally SO great for just that! The 24 being a wide enough focal length to get alot in your shot and then just like you said, that sweet sweet bokeh! I hope you enjoy it :)
I really enjoyed your video.
The 24mm pancake lens is also my favorite. Awesome channel. Subscribed!
Greetings from Japan.
Ed
Awesome, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! 24mm is just such solid focal length!
me watching knowing nothing about cameras: oooohh yes what a good point, oh my god tell us oooohh (okay but actually i do see the difference between comparison shots 😂)
how do you focus on this lens
you can either use the focus ring, which is the black ring with rivets that spins on the lens, or you can turn on switch on the lens from MF for Manual Focus, to AF for Auto focus, and then your lens will focus itself!
I also use this lens for my TH-cam videos.
Thanks, regards.
I just ordered one as it is on sale at B&H for $120.00
How come it is so much more expensive than canon 22 f2?
This lens is on sale on Amazon right now
I always take 2 lenses with me a 24mm and my 50mm
Also shoot at f4 to get the best out of this lens
dude you're so funny lolol. Just got the 24mm 2.8. can't wait to try it out!
Omg thank you!!😅 I hope you LOVE this lens!!
It is!
What a nice face 😊
Still focusing on everthing but the lesnde 😂😂
Greetings from Egypt
How far away from the camera are you? Never mind. I watched to the end and you covered it. Thanks.
thank you for watching :)
I brought My camera and two lenes in a pawn shop. The 24mm was $50.00. Best place to troll for camera stuff.
What would you use the 10-18mm for?
Personally, I would use it for landscape, large group photos, or if you're doing video, its great for vlogging!
@@AnneliesVeldman Thanks for responding and your feedback.
agreed
Спасибо, я понял, что Canon 24 mm - хороший объектив, и я его себе куплю. Он не новый, но прекрасно работает, цена его - 12 $.
Why you talks so fast????
nu nog ducktape om die bek dicht te plakken. vermoeiend verhaal.
Srop cutting spaces between words. Its looks like an AI video or robotic speech! . this is not fun to watch, as a viewer. FYI.
Very entertaining video and review!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much!
did you just babble for 15 minutes without showing any footage of the lens you are talking about?
Hi there! I did actually show a couple of seconds of the lens at :18 mark, but I understand how that might not be as much as you were looking for. Just to give you some insight on my process, as I mentioned in the beginning of the video, this review was filmed on this lens, along with B-Roll filmed using this lens. For my review, the thing that was the most important for me to showcase was how footage from the lens looks, versus how the lens looks physically. With the lens being the one I used while filming, I wasn't able to show it during my A Roll/talking head bits. I wanted to prioritize this video being shot on the 24mm versus showing the 24mm, because when I seek out reviews, I typically want to see how the lens works and performs, first and foremost. I will keep your comment in mind with my future reviews to try to show more clips of the product! I think there is a sweet spot I can find for my future reviews of showing clips of the product while also showing how it works. Thanks so much for your kind feedback, I'm always looking to improve! :)
I realize i cannot use this lens anyhow as i have a GH5+EF speedbooster and this lens is EF-S. Do you own the 40mm 2.8 also?
Muito obrigdo pelo seu vídeo, me fez mudar de ideia. Abraços do Brasil!
