My New Favorite Lens for Street Photography | The 24mm 2.8 Canon Pancake Lens | Experience & Review

My "review" of the 24mm F/2.8 EFS pancake lens from Canon! This lens is tiny and incredibly impressive. I love the true to eye focal length that it gives, since it comes out to a 40mm with my Canon T7i's crop sensor, and it helps me blend in a little more on the street. Highly recommend picking one up for your camera if you're interested!

Well Done. I just picked up this lens and can't wait to use it. I love your videos. They are paced perfectly, concise and the video is great.

[@winslow_j]

I appreciate this David! Thanks for watching. This lens is still my favorite right now currently. Good luck and I hope you enjoy it!

[@goldenfrog6EsCoSes]

Great shots, Jared! I bought this lens when I had the T6i. I loved it on that camera, and I carried it over to my 90D and still love it; it works great with the 90D's "demanding" high megapixel sensor. The photos that come out of it just seem to have something special. It stays on my camera like a lens cap. For video, though, I prefer something not so wide. I tend to use the 18 - 135 USM at around 35mm.

[@goodvibesvideos9704]

What a simple and honest review. Great vlog Jared! the way you explained everything was just really encouraging and I have decided that this lens is totally worth it. I also subscribed to your channel so looking forward for more!

[@winslow_j]

Agh thanks so much!! I'm so glad to hear it. I'm still using this lens as my main one every time I go out to shoot, it's a great one. Thanks for watching! 😄

[@darkrapperbin]

Thank you for videos like this! As someone who is starting with photography its sometimes so overwhelming by the options of cameras and lenses...etc. And i feel kinda lost but videos like this makes me feel better about my choices and options and stuff...so i think this lens is perfect...i already have 50mm f 1.8 im happy with it..but im looking to add more lenses to collection :D Just keep doing what ur doing! :D

[@winslow_j]

Agh I completely understand, there's so much to learn!! But it all comes with time, and I'm STILL learning new things constantly, it's a never ending journey haha thanks so much for this though!! I'm glad you found it helpful. This lens is great! Super affordable and really high quality, and the "true to your eye" aspect is probably my favorite part about it.

[@lemonkng3188]

I just love the 24 mm prime. It will pair nicely with my full frame camera. I just love the look of the 24 mm portraits in street photography. It offers so much to work with..

[@ChillingwithMalc]

That lens and camera makes a great combo! Great photos too man.

[@FotisNakos]

My favourite lens back when I was using the EF system and now that I'm using the RF. Worth mentioning that for it's price, it's quite sharp even at 2.8.

[@clarkyy2066]

Bro I've been contemplating for hours if I should buy one with my 650D (as someone who uses a crop sensor camera). Thanks for this man! This reassured me a ton. Hope that you create more content with this setup!

[@winslow_j]

Agh I'm glad to hear this man!! I hope you're enjoying it! Still my favorite lens to use to this day. I've made a handful more videos with it shooting since 😄 and definitely will be making plenty more

[@astrodoug]

Thank you! I'm sold.

[@winslow_j]

I'm glad to hear it was helpful!! Such a great lens

[@justinaperture6007]

Loved the video Jared! The photos were 🔥

[@winslow_j]

Thank you Justin!! Appreciate it! Really loving this lens lately 🙏🏻 I was afraid of it for a while haha

[@justinaperture6007]

@@winslow_j Yeah it's pretty crazy how different focal length prime lenses make you think and visualize shots differently especially when you have to physically move closer or farther away from your subject. Challenging but so rewarding 🙌

[@VictorReynolds]

Just purchased this lens and looking forward to using it. Thanks for sharing your experience with it.

[@winslow_j]

Amazing! So glad to hear it, I still have it on my camera all the time. Hope you enjoy! 🙏

[@TylerHealy-u6r]

Superb black and white conversions. Are you taking the files into silver efx? Also your colors are great too, almost cooked. Like modern Herzog. I’d love to know your process. Although it might be proprietary. I’m getting my 24mm efs in the mail tomorrow. It’s gonna be a change getting that close. I wish Canon made more primes for apsc, but the 24mm might be all that’s needed. Great work, and thanks!

[@winslow_j]

Wow I love herzogs work, thanks so much for that! The black and white is my own preset that I made in Lightroom, and I think I owe a lot of my color to canons base color science haha although I do have my own little formula even though it’s simple! I’d be happy to make a video about this. Oh man I think you’re gonna love it. Like I said in this video, it took me a while to get comfortable with getting this close and I’m still working on it haha but this lens is the perfect balance between getting close and still being able to stay hidden. Good luck with it. Thank you for this and thanks for watching!

[@sprix3448]

im just here to say this videos a vibe bruh keep going man i love your work

[@winslow_j]

Agh thanks so much man, really appreciate it 😌🙏

[@EA-58]

Youre vid made me buy this lens for my beginner Canon 250 D Beside the kit lens. From the Netherlands Thx 👍

[@winslow_j]

Awesome! I'm glad to hear it. I still have it on my camera all the time, it's such a great lens. Hope you enjoy and good luck!

[@dwill123]

If you want small, marry this lens with a Canon 100d (aka the EOS Rebel SL1). This is my rig and let me say you will be shocked how good this small combo is.

[@simonr2156]

Thanks Jared, that video has just convinced me to get the 24mm prime for my old Canon 600D (and a wrist strap!) and get out to do some street photography. Liked and subscribed.

[@winslow_j]

Amazing!! So glad to hear this. Have fun with the process and I hope you enjoy it! 🙏🏻

[@simonr2156]

I've had it a couple of weeks now and it's really fab. Has completely refreshed my enthusiasm for photography. Thanks again.

[@Meminnnnnnn]

What's the difference between canon 24mm 2.8 vs samyang 24mm f2.8. Because samyang costs much more?

[@alexSpunkt.]

Awesome shots 🙌 great video too!!!

[@winslow_j]

Thank you Alexander!! Appreciate it 😌

[@pratipkarmakar01]

It's in my list I will buy this bad boy,great video 😊

Oh man it’s so good…highly underrated. Thanks for watching! 😄

[@Graymanone]

I've been using this lens on my t7 and have been getting some good results. Not sure if the image quality if different from that of the t7i? It's a nice set up that does not draw a lot of attention.

[@damomoulds6087]

Great vid man. Super helpful!

[@winslow_j]

Thank you man! I’m glad to hear it! 🙏🏻

[@burtking4270]

Great video - I'm close to Boston and looking forward to getting into the city when the weather gets a little warmer. I also shoot the t7

[@winslow_j]

Thank you!! Boston is a great city to shoot in, I can not wait for the days to be longer and warmer again haha thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@burtking4270]

I hope to be getting in there in the coming weeks. If you have some places to suggest I'm all ears..... right now I'm thinking the North End because I haven't been there in years. Thanks@@winslow_j

[@Onlythatfunkyshit]

I thought you were supposed to upload a new video every week? You owe us like 6+ videos now. 👾

[@winslow_j]

Definitely working on it! Had a pretty big life change right after uploading this one, but it'll make sense soon with the new few that I post 😌 have a handful of videos on deck

[@Onlythatfunkyshit]

@@winslow_j I can imagine the challenge. Keep up the good work. 🙏

[@eljstreets]

another great video bro, even if I don't use canon lol great shots man!

[@winslow_j]

Thank you man! Appreciate you, this lens has been super eye opening. We also have to shoot on the street in new york where most of these photos were taken haha

[@Ryan-xw7dx]

Awesome video man, the pics look great too. Just curious what your ideal settings for street photography are as far as shutter speed, aperture, and ISO, etc go? Fairly new to photography so I’d appreciate it! Keep it up!

[@winslow_j]

Thank you man! Thanks for watching 🙏Most of the time, I have my camera on shutter priority mode and set my shutter to 800, that way you don't have to worry about the aperture, and usually match my iso to the shutter speed. The less you have to think about while shooting street, the better! That way you can focus on capturing each moment. I hope that helps!

[@Ryan-xw7dx]

@@winslow_j awesome I appreciate it man!!

Great video as usual

[@TheUrbandilema]

This is gonna be my next lens to get for my M50..I am so interested into this lens especially I shoot alot of street..also big up to lofi girl I listen to her alot and I use my neck strap as my wrist strap need one too

[@winslow_j]

Nice!! Agh it’s truly underrated and I’ve been really enjoying it lately…It’s gonna be great on the M50! Oh man I lovee lofi girl, I have the stream on constantly haha wrist strap is a game changer! Especially for street

[@scottriverof]

one dumb question: will this fit in my 5d2?

[@Sebwojdalowicz]

If it's a crop sensor, yes.

[@michaelmc457]

Unfortunately no

[@tourinojacks5844]

Good video, my friend. Good one. What did you use to record this video?

[@winslow_j]

Thanks so much! This was a mixture of my canon T7i, and my phone for the shots of my camera! I had an iPhone 11 at the time

[@waltonoryan]

Do you think this lens would be good for night street photography?

[@masonmillard876]

It was a huge improvement over my kit lens from f4 to f2.8, but if you have money f2 or better would be more useful for capturing night motion.

[@rainfallsdistances]

What wrist strap are you using

[@winslow_j]

It’s by a brand called long weekend! Highly recommend it. I have one for my T7i and my film camera

[@zozy2580]

What lens did u use to make the video

[@winslow_j]

I used a sigma 18-35mm 1.8 art! Super long name lol that’s my primary video lens for when I’m filming broll and the talking head clips

[@alexro8916]

What filter does the lens have? 2:49

[@winslow_j]

That’s a UV filter! Really basic from Amazon, it just helps protect the lens from scratches and in case you drop it. Highly highly recommend, one of these saved another one of my lenses from cracking after it was dropped

[@ralfgunthner5150]

Very good Street-Pictures.

[@winslow_j]

Thank you!! I appreciate it

[@tonykeltsflorida]

I just used mine today on my M6II and a Viltrox adapter.

[@kickoverthestatues]

How does it compare to the 22mm?

[@tonykeltsflorida]

​@@kickoverthestatuesit should be about the same.

[@kickoverthestatues]

@@tonykeltsflorida I was wondering about the actual optics. A direct comparison.

[@tonykeltsflorida]

@@kickoverthestatues it is about 38mm because of the Canon crop is 1.6 and the lens is EF-S so I can't use a speed booster . To get wider I use my Tamron EF 24-70 with the booster. That gives me 17mm at f/2.

[@matkhafsy8812]

so all photos in this vidio its actually not a 24mm, its 40mm broooo

[@winslow_j]

@@matkhafsy8812 24mm lens, but cropped because it’s a crop sensor which makes it technically a 38. But you’d still get the same results if you’re on an aspc sensor camera!

[@bigbluerios]

So u all of a sudden was blow away or was it because lots of KZbin people began to hype and make videos of how good this lens is and now everyone wants to make vids of how great it is.

[@winslow_j]

I was blown away once my eye and work started changing and I saw the lens for what it was! It sat on my shelf for a long time because it didn’t align with my work at the time. Once I wanted to try a different style of shooting, I picked it up again, and was blown away

[@eltanquedecasma1184]

Awesome vid. Your channel is what motivates me to get out and shoot. Question; what’s your ‘technique’ for when you do street photography, and as you call it ‘run and gun’ where you have to get close to your subjects (people)? Do you keep the camera low and close to your body and ‘half press’ the shutter to focus and then click when the subject enters your frame? Or do you straight up get up and close to people with the camera at face level? Maybe you can do a video about the technique you use for street photography? Keep up the good work 👍 We appreciate you!

[@winslow_j]

These are all really great questions! I can definitely make a video about this. That’s a good idea and I appreciate the suggestion, I think I have a few tips and ideas I can share since I’m a little on the shyer side when I’m shooting. Most of the photos shown in this video were taken with the camera kept low near my body, and I kinda just take the shot hoping the camera gets it in focus, although sometimes I’ll half press like you said if I can see the shot coming. The shot of the first woman for example with the yellow shirt, I sped up to get next to her, held my hand out slightly and took the shot without looking at her. Probably not the most full proof system, but it’s worked really well with this lens so far and makes it look like you’re not even taking a photo. Also, really means a lot to hear that my channel motivates you, exactly why I wanna do this so I appreciate that 🙏🏻🙏🏻 thanks so much! And I’ll definitely make a video about this topic

[@eltanquedecasma1184]

@@winslow_j thanks for taking the time to respond! Appreciate the tips and look forward to your next video!

[@GrainyWorld]

Nice shots. ef 40 mm is so sharp ONLY on full frame, but 24 mm on crop sensor isn't sharp like that. ef 40 mm isn't sharp on crop sensor neither! WHY!

[@og3139]

Try higher shutter speed at least 1/125 and the lowest iso that you can

[@skyhigh1154]

You should always set youre speed atleast twice youre focal length. So atleast 24x2 = 1/50

[@N.Sem.]

nice job

[@winslow_j]

Appreciate it!

[@xsr900zius]

cropped 36mm

[@angelrojas6946]

More like a 38mm, the ef-m 22mm f/2 would be a 35mm or 36mm.

[@amardaman3371]

24 x 1.6 = 38.4 so it’s equivalent 38mm
