I'm guessing it doesn't have IS, but since it's so small and light, maybe it would be easier to hold the camera still? Handheld: Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ZeroedInPhotography

I don't have a CD drive so do I need to go out and get one now or can I download the update? Is it just regular firmware update? I just re-bought the pancake since I had sold it a few months back. I'm actively lazy!!

It's a firmware update. You load the update to your CF card and then use the update lens firmware option. It should be available for download from Canon's support page.

Owners of other cameras will need to ship the lens to Canon, who will update the firmware for free.

I actually get a quicker answer here since I'm at work and just want it to be short and simple and pretty blunt. I'm impatient when it comes to self reading. xD I'm actively lazy!!

Jelloneck Senior Member  More info | Just got my lens this weekend. Didn't get to go out to take any shots but got a couple in studio. Top one was taken at f9 and the bottom was f2.8 both shot on tripod ISO 100 Shutter 200th. Loving this lens so far. Not a doubt this is worth the $150 I spent.   Gear List/Feedback |Instagram

Nov 14, 2012 10:57 | #1527 As some of you might know.. i bought the 40mm but returned it and got the 50mm 1.4.. now i'm thinking about getting it instead of the 28mm 1.8, it's a price thing for me, i can't afford it but i need a smaller mm, on a crop it's differeance is 16mm between the 50mm and the 40mm.. will it be enough to justify a buy?

Is 16mm really that much? the 28mm is 45mm compared to 50mm's 80.. thats 35mm differance, it seems huge. But 16mm? What do you guys think? If i got the 50mm 1.4.. is buying the 40mm panncake overflow? I found even going from 17mm to 15mm on my 60D made a difference so i think 16mm wider will be quite a big difference. Dave.
