Seriously considering the 24mm f/2.8 IS that's coming out, but I probably will wait and see if they come out with a pancake instead ($800 is a bit much for a wide prime)! My portfolio

msowsun "approx 8mm"  More info | Jun 25, 2012 07:22 | #714 cptrios wrote in post #14627415 OK, so this shot from the ephotozine review (f/8 on a 5D2, it seems) looks to me to show an astonishing amount of field curvature. Can anyone who's got a copy shed some light on whether or not that's true?That looks like normal perspective distortion to me.

Is that what you mean by "field curvature"? Yeah, a curved focus field, not distortion. In that case, distant objects on the borders are seriously out of focus, while close objects aren't. It could just be a matter of the focus point itself rather than a serious flaw with the lens.

cptrios Goldmember 1,744 posts Joined Jul 2008 Location: Boston, USA / Burgundy, France More info | Jun 25, 2012 17:39 | #718 From lenstests.com: Curvature of the focal plane While the EF 40mm f/2.8 STM is pretty well centered in the sense that focusing on the left image border will also render the right image border perfectly in-focus it unfortunately expresses some serious curvature of the focal plane. That means that a focus on either of the image borders will render the center of the image out-of-focus (and vice versa). - Well, of course not completely out-of-focus but let's say it will not be in perfect focus. The reason for that is that the lens's focal plane is curved rather than straight as it should be. Whether or not this will be visible in actual pictures depends a lot on the subject you are shooting and of course on the in-focus range. Since stopping-down increases the in-focus range it will help you counteract the curvature effects and - even better - if you use the lens with an APS-C camera (where the smaller sensor captures only an inner crop of the image) you will not notice any curvature of the focal plane. Again, curvature is only an issue in certain circumstances and even some really high-end lenses (such as the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM ()) have been known to show significant curvature.
