im thinking about putting this on a (film camera) Canon Elan 7E. would be a very lightweight autofocus beast, and the 7E is small enough and cheap enough that the combination makes for less anxiety should it break or be stolen.
Love the 40, I've used it with my 1Ds, 1DmkII, 70D, 6D and 5Ds and the images are always sharp and in focus and because of its small size and light weight it's hand holdable in low light!
It's expensive in my country
Will it work with 1300D?
hi, thank you for great review, . I would like to ask if 40/2.8 is noteasy to autofocus damage, because front element extends out. This wasproblem for 50/1.8 II and STM, but they had bajonet for lenshood, whichreally protected the front element. Canon 40 can have lens hood, but itextends with front element so its not a real manual protection, onlyfrom sun reflections. Thanks for your answer.
Im seriously confused because I was browsing Amazon and saw that your video is the product video for the 40mm.
what about the vignetting?
Hi Chris, many thanks for the review! Recently I purchased a Canon EOS 650 for analog film photography. This pancake lens is also very nice to work with this vintage camera from the beginnings of the EOS era. Regarding the contrast loss in direct bright light you showed in this review: Theres also a special lens hood for this lens available by Canon for its filter thread of 49mm, which I purchased, too. Do you still take photos on an analog film? I prefer the focal length of 40mm over the 50mm in most situations. Best wishes, Ralf
Hi Chris. Thanks again for the review. Have you ever tried speed boosted this lens on your new M6 Mk2? What would the image quality be? Thanks.
Which one would be a better choice for APS-C Sensor cameras... 40 mm. or 50 mm. F/1.8?It's still not quite clear for me...
"Have fun making up your minds" haha. Perfect.
This is a great lens for video work too. Really sharp footage. Love it
I have this Lens and the sharpness of the image is second to non.........a few have commented how they wish it was f/2 I cannot see a reason to this. I usually stop down to around f/5.6- f/8 and any lower tends to render a softer image.
How does it stand to 50 1.4?
the "have fun making up your minds" sounds much more condescending if you're having an incredibly difficult time doing that
Using this lens with my M100 and Viltrox speed booster 0.71x ( becomes 44mm f/2). Images are superbes.
You said 50, Ill get 50. No questions asked.
I have canon 77D I'm confused in 24mm 2.8 or 40mm 2.8, please give me a best reason , which one i buy
I love your reviews mate, easy to take away from. I always come to your videos before buying a lens
Perfect lens for walking around and long carries. Street scenes, Portraits, Landscapes, it may not be the best in a particular category, but it offers a great range of uses for a go-to lens. You might miss any telephoto, and on a cropped sensor there is some sacrifice in compositions with taller or wider scenes. But I find those limitations are not too bad compared with the advantages. You have to work within it's area. On my 77D it makes a DSLR a great street camera (unless you're a front-shirt pocket type of person). For the price, a superb choice and I'm fully glad I bought this lens. For street photography, I think the 50mm doesn't offer any significant advantage, may as well go pancake.
Great review!
Lens hood ES-52 is available now, FYI.
Will a metabones speed booster 0.64 turn this lens into a 25mm?
Does it fit on the Canon M50?
No a good lens40mm become Aprox 60+mm in APSC camera and with 1.7 factor become 28mm in APSC.Full frame 35mm is best.More over F stop is also 2.8 not worth
should i get this or a 50mm f1.8
My senior year starts in a couple of weeks and I really have been inspired to document it. I have been saving all summer but I have only made around $250. I was wondering what the best camera I could get for that amount.
This lens has been reviewed too many times already and yet another review. Maybe your time should be spent on other gears. I own one, a very good lens even better it's cheap. I use it on my Sony 7ARII.
An extremely underrated lens, we always hear about that 24 or 50 mil, but it's a good alternative to the 50 mm especially for street photography imo. Great video!
I own both on my C70D & I am much satisfied with them.
The Thumbnail says USM, help I'm so confused
Great vid! You can actually put a lens hood on it. I found a cheap one on Amazon that works just fine on this and the 24mm pancake. However, it adds size to it so I think that kinda defeats the purpose of a pancake lens so I almost never use it. Also, since the front element is fairly receded I don't seem to have much issue with flair or do I worry too much about damaging the front glass. Just my thoughts
Hey there random scroller!Have a good day!
Thanks, I looked at your video with the 24mm and thinking about getting that one for my T6i. Great information, keep up the good work.
I use it on my Canon 80D and love it. It's perfect for my YouTube videos
How would will it work with M50 and the EF to EFM adapter?
Thanks for the quailty contant
These quality videos are lit
What a smile
presentation is extremely poor . You should have through knowledge of the subject as well as about lens also, which was missing in this video , rather it seems that you are a beginner and inexperienced one. my advice to you that you first have sufficient knowledge and experience before making any video .thanks .
Which is your camera body
The autofocus for video it's fine? I have mark iv canon
That song @ 1:03 is it grew on me as it was playing
The 40 pancake is a very underrated lens. Sharp, light, and discrete. Always produces great images and video footage.
Slow lens. Unable to take a single snap of babies, by the time it has focused the baby has moved
Ok for portrait and close up work. Other than that it's probably one of those lenseswhich gets forgotten about in the bottom of your camera bag.
8:40 Youtube looked like Win 3.1 in 2012
I wonder how good it is with sirup... Tnx from the future man
Fro Knows LOL.
Funny start . Great video , pentax pancake lenses are very expensive but good .
What makes two different from 24mm and 40mm pancakes?
I got this lens at a local electronic stores for 120$ for my Canon EOS m100 (1.6x) and Viltrox eos-m2 speed booster(0.71x). Got a focal length of 45mm @ F2.0. Very amazing and sharp lens indeed.
This thing is still in my bag. Takes no room and always fun to shoot with
To much shit talking.....get to the point please.
2018? Who?
HAHAHAHA you actually made pancakes! Brilliant!
Just found this.... That rap @jaredpolin
Is this lens is good for full frame bodies?Especially for mark 4 & mark2
the song at the beginning was awesome where can I download it.
I love my 50mm 1.8 for portraits.I bought it just as a mess around toy and now I end up taking it everywhere.
Which camera and lense you using in this video ?
