CameraLabs reviews the EF-M 32mm 1.4
Gordon Laing of CameraLabs reviews the EF-M 32mm 1.4, Canon's latest lens for the EF-M system. The lens was announced last September, and is the fastest lens available for the EF-M system. At a glance;
- EF-M-Mount Lens/APS-C Format
- 51.2mm (35mm Equivalent)
- Aperture Range: f/1.4 to f/16
- One Aspherical Element
- Super Spectra Coating
- Gear-Type STM Stepping AF Motor
- Rounded 7-Blade Diaphragm
The verdict?
The Canon EF-M 32mm f1.4 STM is a standard prime lens for the EOS M mirrorless system, delivering 51mm equivalent coverage coupled with a fast focal ratio that’s ideal for shallow depth-of-field effects. As the eighth native EF-M in almost as many years though, the Canon EF-M 32mm f1.4 is arguably the most overdue lens of any modern system. Canon’s kept the EOS M faithful waiting seven years for a standard large aperture prime lens, a model that really should have been available from day-one. But it’s finally here and thankfully doesn’t disappoint, delivering visibly sharper results across the frame than the kit zooms, while also offering far greater potential for shallow depth-of-field effects. There may be no image stabilisation nor weather-sealing, but this compact prime is a great general-purpose lens that’s also ideal for portraits, low light or still-life.
