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.

Have owned the sigma 24 f/1.4 art.

A nice lens, not pin sharp at f/1.4 but fine - and very nice at f/2.

Sold because autofocus accuracy whilst tolerable was not perfect and lack of my use and quite heavy for an occasional lens.  Did like it though and sorry to sell it in some ways.
