anyone else excited about the new pancacke 24 f2.8?

this wasn't really spoken about so much and it is a cheap lens
but i never really was impressed by the 40mm pancake because I didn't like the focal length
but if the 24mm is as good (or better) than the 40mm optically
then I think I have found a fun light lens that I can see myslef really enjoying.

anyone else?

Yep.. Especially paired with my A7r... So small

isn't an A7r full frame?

as for this lens...i'm not too excited about it...i like the price though...it's cheap enough where you can buy it and never use it, and not care

$150 and the reputation of the 40 alone make it exciting (I have and love my 40, but in contrast to most others, I think it's great on both FF and crop)

The new 24mm f2.8 is an EF-S lens not EF. So I wouldn't get too excited if I were you

No. I've got the 40STM on a 6D, and the 22F2 on the M. The new lens pales.

Yess! If i hadnt given my 650D to my brother i would buy it simply because it is a good price even if the optics are bad (whaz i dont think) only because its small.

I hope my girlfriend gets this one so i cant get my 40 pancake back which ive borrowed her (for almost a year :P)

Im once more satisfied with canons lens lineup. Theres still the 40mm Pancake which is roughly the same on a fullframe camera (yeah, yeah there are DOF differences and ISO advantage of FF) but still.

Theres still hope for you

There you go.
I'm waiting for a EF 28mm pancake if it ever comes.

Not excited anymore considering it's an EF-S. boo to canon.

Let us crop shooters have something to play with for once. We've been waiting for an EF-S prime for ages. Finally Canon has decided to release an EF-S that is not a slow normal zoom, I thought that day would never come :P

I wasn't that thrilled about the slow-ish aperture at first, but now that the price has been revealed, it looks like a much more appealing lens.

I think it's good to have more affordable primes, and I'm happy for the crop shooters, but I don't understand why it isn't f/2 like the EFM 22mm pancake.

Yeah, but, EF lenses work on your camera. You basically have a 35mm now. For a true 24mm focal length this would have had to been a 15mm.

Sony like Nikon have a built in APS-C crop mode

It's its anything like the 22mm 2.0 pancake then I imagine it'll be a huge hit, that's my favorite Canon lens.

No,

24mm is 24mm. 15mm is 15mm. Those are true focal lengths.

You're describing field of view.

There's a difference, and it's not just rhetorical. Depth of field for example.

Very best,
