About the Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM
If you own a Canon DSLR, this lens will fast become part of your essential traveling kit. Its "pancake" profile and low weight make it too portable to ignore, and when you add Canon's impeccable build quality and the lens' light sensitivity into the equation, it all adds up to "I have to have one."
You can shoot a huge variety of subjects, near and far, with this lens due to its versatile fixed focal length: 40mm on full-frame sensors/35mm film cameras, and 64mm on APS-C sensors. And the newly designed stepping motor for the autofocus system is incredibly quiet, making it perfect for video capture.

Fast focusing and very sharp. The material is made of steel, sturdy & heavy unlike the other prime lens that made of plastic.
