Canon’s slimmest EF-S lens, a 24 mm f/2.8 pancake for APS-C DSLRs, with 4,451 ratings at 4.7 stars, at about $159 from a third-party seller.
Canon calls it the slimmest and lightest lens in the EF-S range. On a Rebel T7, it turns a bulky DSLR into something that fits a coat pocket.
Canon gives 38 mm equivalent on APS-C. That frames like a slightly wide normal lens: good for street, travel and food, not for big interiors.
It focuses down to 0.16 m with 0.27× magnification, and f/2.8 is brighter than a kit zoom at 24 mm.
Clogic sold it at about $159, recording serial numbers, with 11 units left.
