I use this lens on my 90D, a camera that supposedly "punishes" cheaper lenses because of it's 32 mp sensor, but, to me, it works great: it just seems to produce good photos, and I can't fault the sharpness. I'ts useful for video too. In fact, it's the default lens on my camera because of its size and weight.
Yes, the 32mp resolution is quite a "punishment" for every lens, but this 24mm can handle it. I have a M6 Mark II (it has the same resolution). Video work is also pleasant with this lens. When you add the small size & weight and the 38mm full frame equivalent, we have the perfect recipe for a lens that, most of the time, will stay mounted on the camera.
Great analysis! Especially appreciate the distortion study in the middle of the photo. It could round off close-ups like the subject's nose if we stand too close (or shoot too wide). So far, haven't seen any differences with the kit lens for most applications like landscapes in daylight but I think the 24 mm will be fun for portraits, as you can stand at a reasonable distance from the subject but still get the background for context. I actually like its moderate bokeh, as it feels a little more natural. Keep up the great work!
One of the biggest advantages that this lens brings is the small size and weight - it keeps the whole set-up (camera+lens) small and light. I would recommend keeping the 24mil mounted on the camera if you are doing some street photography - this is the reason why I bought it.
im comparing this review with the 22mm ef m review...this lens on 3.5 is a little bit sharpen than 2mm ef m at f4 .... do you think that this lens y sharpener than ef m 22mm?? thanks for the reviews
Hi! I made a video on this subject. It is called "Canon 22mm f2 vs Canon 24mm f2.8 - Sharpness Test no.2" - and here is the link: th-cam.com/video/jVg6A_av3eM/w-d-xo.html . The two lenses (ef-m 22mm and ef-s 24mm) have almost the exact same sharpness - hard to tell a difference at f/3.5, but the 24mm lens wins at diffraction. Watch the Sharpness Test Video for more details. Cheers!
Hi , just got mine used at a bargain price , what f stop would u recommend for street photography with a good amount of sunlight ? I'm torn between 3.5 and 4.5
A lot of street photographers use Aperture Priority while being outside on a sunny day (me included). It really depends on the situation (what is your artistic intention/how much sun there actually is), but I usually leave mine at f/4.5, on a sunny day, and keep my eye on the shutter speed to never go under 1/250 (if my intention is to freeze the action of people that are just walking around). Hope it helps! All the best!
I enjoy using this lens because my camera welcomes small and descrete for street photography. I use it on a 7Dii. I think it would be great on a camera with IBIS as camera shake is my biggest problem with this lens.
What do you thing about this lens? Does it suit your needs?

I agree with everything you wrote here. Thank you very much for the kind comment!
How would it be recommended to hold the device? The lens and the body separately or can I keep them together?:)

On the Canon SL2 this lens is good for video. Being EF-S, I can't use the speed booster but I do have a mount adapter for M6II camera.
Ah, the SL2, nice DSLR, it has Canon`s Dual Pixel AF - this, together with the STM focusing motor of the lens, great combination for video, I agree.
Hello, does it works with the T8i?
Hi, yes, it does.

This one or 50 mm 1.8?
If you want a wide angle, the 24mm f/2.8 gives you that ; if you don't need a wide angle, but want a brighter aperture, the 50mm f/1.8 .

Yes, I agree; a camera with IBIS is always good to own.
I love mine, combined with my 7d, it’s my go to camera….
left a comment bc i have this lens
