While small and relatively inexpensive, the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 actually packs quite a punch. While this particular lens may not feature the most impressive specifications or be considered one of the world's finest looking lenses, it is a relatively good performer. The EF 24mm f/2.8 holds up very well in the color and contrast departments while also managing to deliver acceptable sharpness considering the price of the lens. While it will not compete with the more expensive wide angle lenses Canon offers, the EF 24mm f/2.8 certainly provides the user with plenty of performance for a low price.
At the wider aperture settings the EF 24mm f/2.8 is somewhat prone to flare but definitely improves by f/8 or f/11. It features mild distortion, yet that is expected considering the lens, however the subject and image center is still rather clear as most distortion is only noticeable towards the corners. The size of the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 is almost comical, at only 9.5 ounces it weighs less than most sticks of deodorant. It is one of the smallest lenses available from any manufacturer, and is certainly the baby in the Canon family.
With a decent focus range and a fair autofocusing device, the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 is certainly user friendly. While it is not the quietest lens available, its size certainly makes up for the small amounts of noise.
