Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM

The Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens is available right at the beginning of your search for a lightweight, discreet, and sharp everyday prime lens for your Canon APS-C camera. Measuring just 22.8mm in length and weighing an astonishing 125g, this “pancake” prime transforms bulky DSLR setups into compact, walk-around cameras you can carry effortlessly all day.

Offering a natural 38.4mm (35mm-equivalent) field of view that closely mirrors how the human eye perceives a scene, the Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens pairs a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture with an aspherical optical element and Super Spectra Coating. Whether you are shooting street photography in Nairobi, capturing indoor family moments, recording smooth Movie Servo AF videos, or snapping close-up food and product shots down to 16cm, it delivers crisp resolution and natural color rendition at an unbeatable value.

• Ultra-Slim Pancake Design (22.8mm Thick, 125g): Less than one inch long, making your camera easy to slip into small bags and ideal for discreet street and travel photography.

• Versatile 38.4mm Equivalent Focal Length: Bridges the gap between wide-angle and standard perspectives on APS-C cameras, excelling at street scenes, landscapes, environmental portraits, and casual snapshots.

• Bright f/2.8 Maximum Aperture & 7-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: Gathers abundant light for handheld indoor and evening photography while creating smooth, pleasing background blur.

• Aspherical Element & Super Spectra Coating: Incorporates 6 elements in 5 groups with one precision aspherical lens to maintain edge-to-edge sharpness, minimize distortion, and reduce ghosting and flare.

• Smooth & Quiet STM Autofocus Motor: Stepping motor technology supports Canon Movie Servo AF for silent, continuous focus transitions during video recording, plus full-time manual focus override.

• Impressive 16cm Close-Focusing Capability: Focus as close as 0.16m (6.3 in.) for a 0.27x maximum magnification—ideal for tabletop food, coffee, and detail shots.

• Non-Rotating 52mm Filter Thread: Front barrel does not rotate during focusing, allowing hassle-free use of circular polarizers (CPL) and ND filters.

• Street, Travel & Everyday Photographers: A featherlight 125g profile lets you shoot candidly in bustling markets and city streets without drawing unwanted attention.

• Beginner & Enthusiast DSLR Creators Upgrading from Kit Lenses: Experience noticeably sharper optics, faster f/2.8 low-light capability, and better subject separation than standard 18–55mm kit zooms.

• Vloggers & Hybrid Video Creators: Quiet STM focusing pairs smoothly with Canon Dual Pixel AF bodies for clean audio and cinematic focus pulls.

The Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens maximizes optical efficiency within a miniature 6-element, 5-group layout. By integrating a precision-molded aspherical lens and Canon’s Super Spectra Coating, it controls chromatic aberration and maintains crisp contrast right from wide open at f/2.8.

A micro-stepping aperture drive ensures quiet iris adjustments during video recording, while full-time manual focus override lets you fine-tune focus instantly using the smooth electronic focus ring.

Which cameras are compatible with the Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens?

It is designed natively for Canon APS-C EOS DSLR cameras (such as the EOS 250D, 850D, 80D, 90D, 7D Mark II, and Rebel/1300D/2000D/4000D series). It can also be mounted on Canon APS-C EOS R-series mirrorless cameras (like the EOS R50, R10, and R7) using the Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R.

Can I use the Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM on a full-frame Canon DSLR like the EOS 5D or 6D?

No. Because it is an EF-S mount lens with a shorter rear protrusion designed specifically for APS-C image circles, it cannot be mounted on full-frame Canon EF DSLR bodies.

Does this lens come with a lens hood in the box?

No. The box includes the lens, E-52 II front cap, and Lens Dust Cap E. The compatible screw-in Canon ES-52 lens hood is available separately.
