bokeh can be a bit busy for my tastes
Canon s diminutive SL1 body
busyness within the circle as well as some green fringing
only one EF-S prime lens
The focus ring is decoupled from the actual focus gear
More Lacks image stabilization
lack of image stabilization
lack of tactile feedback when focusing is disconcerting
Disappointing manual focus experience
leave your lens uncovered
poor optical quality
Diffraction blurs the image visibly at f/16
40 STM is not a silent focusing lens
This lens is not compatible with Canon Extenders
it is not full frame compatible
front filter threads do not rotate with focusing
the vignetting at full aperture is a bit more than 1 stop
The lens has no built-in image stabilization
There is no internal focus
where only a single lens part moves
lateral chromatic aberration is applied by practically all camera brands
A lens hood is not part of the standard equipment
magenta-green fringing in areas of high contrast
Attached 52mm filters will not rotate during focus operations
The lens has very little in the way of control surfaces
ending up in a lot of presents this holiday season
I lack variety in my storytelling
then lens barely bigger than the cap protecting the sensor
this lens is very flat
