Review: رائعة بكل معنى الكلمة وتؤدي الغرض
Review: Ho tirato fuori dall'armadio la vecchia ma valida eos 350d aps-c e ho cominciato a fare street photography. Però col battery grip e il tamron 24/70 non sempre passavo innosservato. Ho rivoluzionato l'approccio togliendo battery grip e sostituendo l'ottica con questa. Ora sembra una compatta evoluta. Poi per chi come me ha una certa eta' avere un solo obbiettivo fisso e non uno zoom è un tornare alle origini perché una volta le reflex venivano vendute col 50 mm, ottica alla quale questa a conti fatti si avvicina (24*1.6=38). Non sempre da ragazzi si riusciva ad acquistare subito una seconda ottica e questo fattore ci portava, nostro malgrado, a divenire "esperti" fotografi perché col solo 50 mm dovevamo coprire alla meglio tutti gli ambiti fotografici, avvicinandoci o allontanandoci dal soggetto. Ecco, questa è un ' ottica che porta a fare questo non potendo zoomare comodamente da lontano. A questo punto consiglio anche, ai giovani, di provare virtualmente il fascino della pellicola simulandola con pochi accorgimenti: oscurare lo schermo così da non controllare lo scatto, imporsi un valore ISO, qualsivoglia, e non cambiarlo al variare dell'illuminazione e, importantissimo, scattare SOLO 36 scatti, che era la misura del rullino. Avere a disposizione solo 36 scatti e, ancora meglio, scattare in manuale o al massimo in priorità tempi o diaframmi, ma non in automatico, può solo far bene alla fotografia vostra e allo spirito di chi poi guarderà quanto prodotto. CONCLUSIONE: l'ottica fa il suo dovere alla grande ed anche a tutta apertura mi è parsa avere una vignettatura contenuta peraltro presente anche in altre ottiche ben più costose. Per il costo tutto sommato contenuto non mi sono lamentato dell'assenza del paraluce. Anche lì questione di abitudine perché una volta erano sempre venduti separatamente. Un filtro uv lo consiglio per protezione agli urti. Dopo di che via, uscire a scattare variando orari e meteo con la consapevolezza di avere un ottica che se usata bene si presta a qualsiasi genere di fotografia. Buona luce.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will it work with rebel t5i**
A: Yes this lens will work with the Rebel T5i. Matter of fact it will work with all the Rebel cameras, Kiss and triple digit series 500D-700D cameras, plus the quad digital cameras like the 1100D and SL1 series. It will also work on the 50D, 60D and 70D as well as the 7D and 7D mark II. EF-S means this is a "APS-C (Cropped Sensor)" lens.  So this lens will work on everything Canon has except its full frame cameras which are the 6D, 5D and 1D.

**Q: Already have 50mm f/1.4 on my T3. For wide-angle should I get this prime(EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM) or the EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM(~$100 more)?**
A: I have both lenses and I can say that it all depends. The 10-18mm lens is not as sharp but is much more wide angle than the 24mm prime lens. However the 24mm prime lens has much narrower depth of field. I use both for video mostly. The 10-18mm is my vlogging lens for when I need to get my whole face in the shot and the 24mm is my close up and cinematic lens. For photography, the 10-18mm is good for public places where a wide shot is desired while the 24mm is better for more close up and sometimes portrait shots. I hope this helps!

**Q: I am confused about wide angle lenses...Is this a good lense to use for portrait type pics and/or as a carry-around lense, mainly to take shots of my on vacations, etc?  Do wide angle lenses always cause that "distort" effect of making the image/face look disproportional?**
A: I’m just adding to what TwistedPretzel has already said…For what you have described in your comment, this would be a pretty good lens.  I think of it as the complement to the EF 50mm F1.8 STM on APS-C cameras.  They both share some of the same advantages (especially price to value ratio), but are for different uses.  The 50mm is more for filling the frame with a portrait, and then slicing the DOF thin to get that coveted bokeh effect.  The 24mm is more for getting more into the frame without going full wide, while also being pretty sharp.  It does experience very mild distortion around the fringes of the frame, nothing that will ruin your shots of your children.  It does not, however, have the kind of shrinking effect that ultra-wide angle lenses have, where everything looks like it is really far from you unless you are standing right on top of it.  For me, where the 50mm is about filling the frame and making the subject the most important thing in the photo, the 24mm is more about creating a scene around the subject(s), without losing sight of what is important in the photo.  With some practice, they both can create some very interesting shots.A lens you can look into, if you want one lens that can do what both these can, is the Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 XR Di II.  It is a little more than the 50mm and 24mm combined (300 USD v 275), but can do the work of both lenses.  I think the primes are a little sharper, but the Tamron isn’t bad.  I see your question is 2 years old now; I just wanted to put this info out there for anyone else that it might benefit.  I hope whatever you went with worked for you.

**Q: Is this not compatible with a full frame camera such as the Canon 6D?**
A: I know this is an old question, but I think what I have to say about this is important since I see this question a lot.

With Canon you can not use EF-S lenses on anything but the the crop sensor cameras.  This is all the Rebel series (T6, T7i), the midrange systems (77D, 80D), and the 7D.  The 6D, along with the 5D and 1D, are full frame cameras and can only mount EF lenses.  To be even more confusing, the cameras that can mount EF-S lenses can also mount EF lenses too, but all have a crop factor of 1.6x.  This is all due to the design of the EF-S lenses.  They have a small amount of protrusion from the rear of the camera, which would interfere with the mirror inside the camera.  

Even if this lens could be mounted on a full frame, it is not really the same as a 24mm full frame lens.  This is due to the lens elements being smaller, as it is only designed to work on a smaller format camera.  So you would have to crop down your image if it were possible to mount it on a full frame, to eliminate the heavy and unrecoverable vignetting around the outside of the image.  It would look like a 40mm lens at that point.  So to get the same effect, you can use the EF 40mm F2.8 STM instead.  On a full frame camera it will have the same framing, the same low light performance, and same quiet focusing, but for 180 instead of 150.  If what you need is a 24mm lens, well, Canon only has a couple and both are quite old, and much more expensive.  Sigma has some impressive primes in the Art series, but they are pretty expensive too.  There is also the Rokinon 24mm with AF that was jsut released, but I am not sure if it is a crop lens or not.
