Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 Lens Overview

Canon's EF-S 24mm lens features an exceptionally thin profile with the advanced autofocus motor Canon lens owners expect in the EF-S series.  This wide angle f/2.8 STM lens is designed for APS-C Canon EOS DSLR cameras.  With a 38mm equivalent focal length, the result is a somewhat wider than normal view which is highly beneficial in a wide range of applications.  Cameras with Movie Servo AF mode will benefit from the lens's AF stepping motor for fast, quiet and smooth focusing and operation.   Focus can be manually overridden simply and quickly at any moment.  The Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 will rapidly find it's way into your everday lens arsenal.   

By incorporating a single aspherical element into this lens design, Canon has effectively minimized chromatic aberrations for sharp, clear images.  Fully multi-coated, optimized lenses reduce lens flare and ghosting resulting in excellent contrast and color rendition.  The aperture mechanism is also operated with a micro-stepping motor for whisper quiet operation.
