Canon 24mm f/1.8 IS STM MACRO Lens
The Canon 24mm f/1.8 IS STM MACRO lens is an impressive optically stabilized lens that offers excellent image quality and a wide angle of view. This lens is particularly well suited for shooting in low light conditions, such as night scenes, and can also be used for close macro photography. The lens features a particularly fast maximum aperture of f/1.8, which allows more light to reach the sensor for brighter images and faster shutter speeds. It also has a five-blade iris diaphragm, which produces pleasing out of focus backgrounds and smooth bokeh.
The lens is capable of autofocusing with impressive speed and accuracy. It has a quiet focusing motor, STM, that enables smooth and precise shooting. In addition, the autofocusing mechanism includes the Canon-exclusive Movie Servo AF, which is designed to provide fast and accurate autofocusing in video mode, making this an excellent choice for shooting video.
In terms of image quality, the Canon 24mm f/1.8 IS STM MACRO lens delivers remarkable results. It is constructed with nine elements in seven groups, and features two high-precision aspherical elements and one UD-glass element. These help to reduce chromatic aberrations, distortions, and other flaws to produce sharp, clear images with reduced backlight flaring and ghosting. Additionally, the Super Spectra coating enhances contrast, while optical image stabilization helps to reduce blur caused by camera shake.
Overall, the Canon 24mm f/1.8 IS STM MACRO lens is an ideal choice for low light shooting. It offers excellent image quality, autofocusing performance, and optical image stabilization for reliable results. Plus, its impressive maximum aperture allows for fast shutter speeds and improved image brightness. The lens is an excellent choice for photographers and videographers alike.
