Pancake Goodness

posted on June 25, 2012

I returned home from my weekend road trip to find my new Canon 40mm pancake lens had arrived!

This lens excited me when it was announced because I love pancake prime lens and how little they are. I’m also planning ahead to when Canon finally catches up and releases a mirror less 4/3rds camera sometime this year (all rumor at this point). This lens will be perfect for that kind of camera and was the main reason for buying it.

Personally I love shooting with a prime lens and the challenges they give you. Plus, I can’t wait to throw it on when I film the next Passion Hit TV to see how it performs there.

    From the thumbnail image I thought Canon had come out with an electric pancake maker to go along with those Canon lens drinking mugs. Ha ha! Nice lens.

      Hmm… LOL when I saw the title on Twitter a few days ago I thought why is C.C. eating Pancakes so late.

    I agree with you about prime lenses. My favourite lens is my 50 mm 1.7. Aside from the ability to manipulate DOF I truly enjoy having to move around to compose the shot.

      Exactly, I like the constraints they put on you because it forces you to really look for the shot you want to take.
