Here are my impressions:
+ The fixed focal length is selected nicely with 40 mm. Since it is something free, as in a 50er.
+ Even with low ISO values you get good results, the light intensity I had initially underestimated.
+ From the picture quality (as I said on the EOS 650D) I'm really excited ,: Good sharpness, beautiful background blur and really sensational images even when shooting!
+ Even if it has nothing to do with the quality of the images: The look and feel of the lens to be fun.
- This thing with the STM technology: The theory with the fast and silent motor makes good reading, of which I had, however, expected a little more; the engine is relatively low, however, the focus is to film due to the low speed of rare to use, since it is better to focus manually.
- And now the sad end: just 3 weeks after buying the lens has given up the ghost. The focus does not work anymore. Neither AF nor MF are available. In this regard, I am very disappointed by Canon.
Many other companies have simply exchanged one unit after such a short period of use, but now I had to send to a service partner who wants to repair the entire lens. Now I'm waiting I now two weeks on my lens ... that's too bad. I am sure that one could solve more customer-oriented. :-(
For the lens itself there's 4 stars, but I have to deduct a star but out of frustration over the handling of the service.
