Canon EF 24 mm f/2.8 IS USM
1. Introduction
On the one hand people shooting movies can really get interested in such constructions. On the other hand, though, every photographer who owns lenses such as the EF-S 17–55 mm f/2.8, the EF 24–70 mm f/2.8 or the EF 16–35 f/2.8 has these parameters already available. If Canon provided f/2.0 aperture its instruments would be good for movie-recording and they would be also tasty morsels for those amateur photographers who find the prices of 1.4/24 and 1.4/35 models exorbitant.
However we are not the ones to judge the decisions taken by the Canon company – they will be verified by the market. Our task is to check optical and mechanical properties of presented lenses and we are going to do that exactly.

We would like to thank Canon Poland for lending us the lens for testing purposes.
You are also invited to get acquainted with our test procedure, described in the article "How do we test lenses?" If you feel it’s still not enough, please go to our FAQ section where you can find some further explanation.
