Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM
In what is perhaps one of the most interesting lens announcements we may see this year, Canon has announced late June availability for a 40mm f/2.8 pancake lens. Canon has paid particular attention to making the aperture operate smoothly and quietly making this perfect for video. At f/2.8 it’s fast enough for low-light situations but here’s the really interesting fact I haven’t seen many people talking about. It has a close focus distance of 0.3 meters. That’s CLOSE. Canon claims it is sharp across the frame.
The lens uses a 52mm filter and does NOT ship with a lens hood.
The “STM” lenses mean that the lens offers quiet, smooth and continuous autofocus during video operation. The circular aperture formed by 7 diaphragm blades combined with the wide aperture can give you beautiful bokeh. At 40mm efl of 64mm when used on a camera with an APS-C sensor. It also works as a 40mm lens on full-frame cameras.
