I have had the 24mm f2.8 STM for about a year. Honestly, I use it way more than I ever thought that I would. It is a great little lens, light, small and really sharp. I have used it on a T3i, 7D and 7DII and have been very happy with the images from all three bodies. Many times I will drop it in my pocket when I am shooting sports with a large zoom, just to have in case I need a wider angle shot at some point during the event.

Thanks for the feedback. This has been my experience with the 40mm f2.8 STM. I did wonder if the IS made the more expensive lens worth it.

To be honest if you want to use it at night the IS is brutal. I’ve taken shots at 1/10 or less without any issue which is something you won’t be able to do with the STM version. It’s up to you but the IS is clearly a better optics.
