I'm currently looking at options for a 24mm prime to use for landscape photography while hiking.

I have been using my EF 40mm f2.8 STM but really want something a bit wider.

The options I have are the following;

Canon EF-S 24mm f2.8 STM

Canon EF 24mm f2.8 IS USM

Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG Art

Apart from the obvious differences in size/weight/features can anyone give any feedback pros/cons and experiences?

Will be using with my EOS 7D.

Hi Thorbard,

I have both the 40 pancake and the EF 24 f/2.8 IS USM.

if you like shooting with primes and don’t want to kill your budget then the Canon 24 IS USM is fantastic. I read it is not so good on full frame but with the 7D I found it perfect.

it will give a full frame equivalent of 38mm which for my taste is more than enough and o don’t feel I need wider. Using it at night handheld is a pleasure as it works very very well. I’ve made some very nice shots at night with it.

go for it!
