Announced this past June alongside the Canon EOS Rebel T4i DSLR camera, the new Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM is an ultra-slim, entry-level pancake lens that uses Canon’s Stepping Motor Technology (STM) to enable extra-quiet continuous autofocus, making it well-suited for video shooting. |

(This review has been prepared with Focus Numérique, a French photo news website) Owning a 50mm lens is probably a must for any photographer. These primes are ideal for many good reasons. Mounted on a full-frame body, they provide a neutral field of view. Not a wide-angle, and not yet a telephoto lens, it is said to be close to human vision. On wide sensors, a 50mm lens can be the perfect companion for many different activities, including reportage, portraits, or even landscapes. Mounted on an APS-C sensor, they become a short 75mm telephoto that is highly suitable for portraits. |

Canon 50mm Needs ...
faster and quieter AF motor and 7-bladed rounded aperture like Sony and Nikon. This lens is optically very good although Nikon and Sony version is better wide open at f/1.8. Canon needs to put some more attention for entry level folks. If someone buy DSLR now, my advice would be go for either Sony or Nikon. They have newer and cheaper prime lenses, such as 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and macro. Go for Canon if they take steps to update entry level prime lenses.

Help!!
I don´t get it! It seems like this lens has better resolution than the Canon 50 f1.2 "L" lens!!!! Is that even posible???? The "L" series are far away better than this lens! I own the 1.8 and do not use it because of the bad quality!
