The best lens for street photography.

If you are travelling a lot and want to take photos of the people on the street then this lens is a must. Please note that I am not a pro. only a very amateurish amateur.
Pros :
1) Compact.
2) Crystal clear photography at normal (day) light.
3) Auto focusing is fast.
Cons :
1) Not so good at low light. Some times grains are visible.

In one sentence, I am satisfied. I am using this lens since August 2013. 4 star from my end. ( one star less as not so good at low light photography.)

Very good prime - Must Have!

I have used quite a few prime lens, and Helios 44M-6 had been my favorite so far...for its color, contrast and beautiful swirly bokehs. But now, after using this 40mm, I think this STM is one of the best affordable prime lenses that any canon dslr customer would love. Period!

Great lens!

I bought this lens from Flipkart when the price was around ~9k with some 5% offers. I had a 50mm 1.8 prime lens before, which I had sold off since I found the view too 'narrow' for my uses. (Although great for portraits, I could hardly use it outdoors without backing up a lot).

This 40mm fits the bill perfectly as a walk-around lens. Good for portraits, as well as for street photography. The sharpness is awesome, and the bokeh is pretty smooth and nice too. Overall, if you already own the 18...

Good choice

Being a product from a reputed maker, I never bothered about its quality. I wanted to use this on my Canon 1Ds as a walk-around lens for its pancake like low height & low weight construction. And it nearly renders the 1Ds to a brick-block-like look, so easy to take out, so easy to keep back in the bag. Being a 40mm lens, its a bit wider than normal for a full frame, and it perfectly works for me while travelling. The picture quality is not phenomenal, but very pleasant. I get good pictures, ...

Very Good

very crisp pictures as compared to stalk zooms. very happy with the product per se, experience of buying from Flipkart was seamless. not giving 5star for only reason was the exterior packaging of the lens was so dusty, they didn't even care to wipe it with a peace of cloth, let alone checking if the dust actually has penetrated through the lens inner packaging. Thank fully it hadn't...
