The Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM lens is a compact and affordable option for photographers. It performs well on high-resolution cameras and has a close minimum focus distance. The build of the lens is actually quite good, with a metallic lens mount and a manual focus switch. The autofocus speed is decent, although a little slow, and the STM motor makes a quiet whirring sound. The lens does well with in-camera image corrections and in-body stabilization. At f/2.8, the sharpness is very high in the middle of the image, and the contrast is quite good. The corners are softer but still acceptable, especially when stopped down to f/4. The lens also features a close minimum distance of only 16 centimeters, allowing for close-up photography. However, it does exhibit some dark vignetting at wider apertures and softer corners. Overall, it is recommended for its sharpness and good build quality.

At f/2.8, the sharpness is very high in the middle of the image, and the contrast is quite good.
