Characterized by a truly slim profile, along with an advanced autofocus motor, the 24mm f/2.8 STM Camera Lens from Canon is a wide-angle Prime designed for APS-C-size EOS DSLRs. Providing a 38mm equivalent focal length, this lens adopts a slightly wider perspective than normal to benefit use in a wide variety of shooting situations. A stepping motor AF system pairs well with cameras with Movie Servo AF mode, where it will offer fast, smooth and near-silent focusing performance that can be instantly manually overridden at any time. When combined with a sophisticated optical design, this slim, lightweight and versatile lens is an ideal option to carry everywhere.
An aspherical element is incorporated within the lens construction, which helps minimize chromatic aberrations and produce images with remarkable sharpness and clarity. Optimized lens coatings further benefit performance by reducing flare and ghosting to increase contrast and color fidelity. Additionally, similar to the STM AF system, the aperture mechanism relies on a microstepping motor to maintain overall quietness during operation.

Portable ‘pancake’ design
At just 22.8 mm deep, and weighing just 125g, the EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM is a highly portable lens that lets you take your EOS anywhere. Its diminutive design makes it discreet too – ideal for street photography.
Natural perspective
The 24mm focal length when used on an APS-C EOS body gives the same angle of view as a 38mm lens on a full-frame DSLR. That’s close to that of the human eye, so your pictures will have a natural look and feel about them.
Smooth, quiet focusing
Near-silent STM focusing locks on quickly when shooting still photos, and provides smooth focus transitions when capturing movies, for footage that’s free from distracting focusing noise.*
Wide aperture for low-light shooting
A fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 lets in lots of light, letting you shoot in dark conditions without using flash. It’s ideal for creating shallow depth-of-field effects too, letting you isolate your subject against a soft, out-of-focus background.
Advanced optical design
Enjoy razor-sharp performance right across the frame, with high resistance to flare and coloured fringing. Get as near as 16cm to small subjects for a close-up view of the world.
* When used with compatible EOS bodies.
