\"Canon
\nThis is one of the smallest and most lightweight lenses out there. It\u2019s pretty impressive. It is a prime lens, so there is no zoom. This means you will have to be creative in how you frame each and every image. The 40mm focal length is good for general shooting while you are out and about in town or on a hike. The wide f\/2.8 aperture means you are going to get good low light performance and a shallow depth of field. When this lens is on your camera, it looks and feels like nothing is there. That is probably one of the best features in this lens. You can find this ultra portable lens for $199.99.

    \n Strengths<\/span><\/p>\n

    The size of this lens is excellent for photographers on the go or those who try to keep the weight of their kit a light as possible<\/p>\n

    The close focus distance is a big plus for close ups<\/p>\n

    Picture quality is excellent for such a small and compact lens<\/p>\n

    Weaknesses<\/span><\/p>\n

    The lack of zoom can be a hindrance in some situations<\/p>\n

    Auto focus during video recording is picked up from the cameras internal mic and results in grinding noises on the track<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
