Re: EF-s 24mm f/2.8 STM first experience

I used to have the EF 35mm f/2 and I have to say I always loved that lens. For some reason several years ago I sold that lens and I really think it was a mistake.

So far I am really thrilled with the 24mm f/2.8 STM. It would be nice if I could use it on my FF bodies but it isn’t that big of a deal to me. The 40mm f/2.8 STM was another lens that looked very appealing but I think the shorter FL was more useful to me.

One thing that I have enjoyed about the 24 is that it forces me to move around more to get the composition that I want. My natural tendency is to just zoom and stay where I am standing. When I move to get a better composition with the 24 there have been several times when I find an angle that is more appealing than what I would have seen from my initial position. In some ways I think the lack of zoom has helped me get better photos.
