Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM 24mm
Weighing just 125g and measuring under an inch thick, it's the slimmest and lightest EF-S lens with a 24mm f/2.8 prime (38mm equivalent) and STM autofocus. Its silent STM motor and micro-stepping aperture drive enable smooth focus tracking during video, while full-time manual focus offers precise control. Best for video-centric Canon APS-C shooters—vloggers or hybrid creators—who need a compact, quiet lens for cinematic work and street photography.
