First steps with a fixed focal length

Pancake Canon EF 40mm f / 2.8 STM + cap Objective E-52 + Anti-Dust Cap E (Accessory)

Customer Review

I wanted to buy a fixed lens for my Canon EOS. After long hesitation between 50mm f1.8 and 40mm, I chose the latter: excellent image quality and workmanship. In addition, its size, it turns your DSLR into a kind of big compact.
I'm not disappointed. This objective is a very good first step in the world of fixed lenses.
