Excellent travel lens
I received the 24mm for Christmas last year from my daughter. I have several lens but this is now my go to lens paired with my Canon T6i. I used this lens on two different trips this year. It has sharpness and takes an excellent shot, day or night!

First timer
I purchased this lens after purchasing a 50mm stm lens. My intention was to use the 50 as my all-around lens; however, This 24mm stm lens may become my ‘go-to’ lens for, mainly, family events and functions. This lens fits the EOS 77D (white dot vs. red dot).

Very pleased with it
While I haven't spent a ton of time with this lens yet, I've already taken some of the best photos I ever have with it. It's easily my favorite lens between my T2i kit and telephoto. I'm impressed with it and feel fortunate to work with it.

Worth every penny and then some.
Nice compact lens which takes excellent night sky images, wide angle landscape photos, and is ideal for photographing architecture and people gatherings. Don’t let the inexpensive price fool you! It’s a very good lens for the money!

Small footprint makes all the difference
As a casual photographer, I really enjoying how easy it is to carry around my camera with this lens as my main driver. The decent dof along with the semi-wide angle makes it very versitile. I do use my camera equally as much for taking photos as I do for taking videos so the only complaint I would have is that the focusing mechanism is quite loud. This is a very minor inconvenience.. definitely not enough to dock off a star. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase!

Excellent Prime lense
I used this lens first time in our church event, at a very low light conditions, excellent quality for the price range. Macro pics also looks great. Images are pretty sharp at f2.8. Looking forward to use this outdoors when the weather gets better.

Love this lens
I have had this lens for a few months and it quickly became my favorite lens. Picture quality is better than the 18-55mm kit lens. The 2.8 aperture allows for better low light photos and combined with its relatively wide angle of view makes it a good lens for night time star photography.
Finally, I have to mention that this lens makes my camera a small and light package for carrying around all day.

Canon's "GEM"
It's my go to lens, I use this 24mm pancake lens for my standard everyday use. It's wide to capture a full background and it's good for sharp clear tight close-ups.

Razor sharp.
This was the first lens I bought after I got my T5i with the 18-55mm and 75-300mm kit lenses. My main goal for this lens was sharp photos, but I was also looking for something unobtrusive to take with me for street shooting. This lens checks both boxes a million times over.
I wasn't planning on using this lens for most of the best photos I've taken, it just happened to do a better job. I didn't take it off my camera the entire time I was in Colorado, and I got some beautiful sharp landscape photos out of it.
I've also used it for creative portraits, detail shots, and architecture with great results. You have to use your legs with this lens, but you'll be glad you did because the composition will be more creative, and your focus will be spot on.
The only kind of negative thing I have to say about it is that mounting it on the camera body kind of feels like you're hurting it; you've got to add more pressure to get it to click secure than the kit lenses I have.

The little lens that could
I am the proud owner of a Canon 50mm F/1.2 L, an absolute beast. I live and swear by that lens, but I wanted something wider to use on my 80D, something for more general use that could get me places without breaking the bank (a second time). I bought this 24mm without high expectations, but I have to say that I have been continually amazed at what came out of this little pancake of a lens. It's not perfect, vignetting can be quite strong and there is some image distortion, but those are things you can play around with, and the combination of the relatively wide aperture and super short focal length are an explosive cocktail that I just wasn't expecting at purchase.
What a little monster.

Every Hobbyist Should Own
The EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM lens meets all the must-have attributes, and throws in a few bonuses, too.
Being a poorly-funded hobbyist, this was the third lens I purchased (after 18-55 and 55-250mm kit lenses). I'm currently using a T6i body, which the 24mm compliments well. The wider focal length and the wider aperture both aid my style of photography, which tends to be people indoors, often boudoir or erotic. I do wish that it had image stabilization which would help with video. Regarding video, the focal length on a crop sensor is good for use on a tripod capturing an entire room, but handheld is still too tight for selfie or closeup recording. A kit lens at 18mm does better, provided the lighting is adequate.
For landscape images, the 24mm does well enough, but for that I don't really need a lens that fast, so I lean towards the 10-18mm ultra-wide zoom, despite its maximum aperture being 4.5.
As most agree, cost-to-value on this lens is incredible, much like its older sister the 40mm pancake. I do feel like the 24mm has somehow managed to have the STM system improved over the 40. Both are good pancake lenses.
Many talk about this being the best "walk-around" lens for a crop sensor body. I'll admit that it's easier to haul around, but it's only 80-something grams lighter than an 18-55mm kit lens, which could be better as a "walk-around" lens, aside from the wider aperture the 24mm offers. Personally, I've found myself leaving the 18-135 nano USM on my camera body most of the time, due to it's greater versatility.
I really do love what the EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM lens can do for me, but even more so, I appreciate what it makes me do. Being a fixed focal length, it forces me to see things a little differently, and certainly gets me to zoom with my feet. With 24mm not being particularly flattering to most humans, it makes me get a little more creative with how I shoot, but always gives me a good chance at getting great images with it.
Overall, I'd stay this should be one of the first prime lens you purchase, along with the latest "nifty fifty".

EXCELLENT lens for the price
PROS:
- Extremely lightweight, making prolonged shoots, walking around while on vacation, or in my case, hiking with it an absolute dream to carry
- Extremely short and nimble lens. It sticks out just past the pop-up flash on my camera. You can literally carry this lens in your pocket
- Great image quality, tac sharp even at f/2.8
- Very reasonable quality to price ratio
- Metal mount ring
CONS:
- Barrel is plastic, but this shouldn't be a deal breaker
CONSTRUCTION: Remember, you have to go into this purchase knowing you’re not getting an L series lens, especially at this price point. It is a cheaper lens in regards to both part quality and price aspects but I feel as though Canon has not skimped on the important parts of the lens such as the glass. The glass is very good and the mount is metal, not plastic. The barrel, however, is plastic but it doesn't effect your images so this is really a non-issue
IMAGE QUALITY:
This lens is surprisingly tac sharp at f/2.8 with respect to DOF. It does not at all get muddy at its lowest aperture like some wide open lenses can get (see wristwatch and leaf pictures). The versatility of this lens if just plain ridiculous. As I said above, It is capable of getting very close-up shots (not macro) but can also capture great landscapes (see sunrise picture). While you can certainly take portraits with this lens, the background blur may be a little underwhelming for some people, as it’s a 24mm lens, not a 50mm. So if you want more blur in portraits, perhaps this lens isn’t for you
OVERALL:
Personally, I love this lens. I think it’s extremely versatile in that it very nicely captures a large range of pictures from landscapes to close-ups. I think the pictures I have included speak very fairly to this claim.
I bought this lens for a number of reasons. Namely, I wanted a lightweight lens that was capable of capturing images while I hike, such as landscapes. My EF-S 18-135mm zoom lens was just too heavy and bulky to comfortably hike with. The Canon 24mm pancake turned out to be the perfect solution to that problem. Taking into account the image quality for the price point, you end up getting quite a bargain. Canon can easily sell this for more than they are in my opinion. I am very pleased with this lens. It’s lightweight, small, produces great images, and is very affordable. Every amateur/enthusiast photographer should have it in their kit!

Probably the BEST Travel lens available.
I absolutely LOVE my 24mm STM. It is the perfect lens to take backpacking, as it is light and takes up very little space. I pair it with my SL1, and it makes for a point and shoot sized DSLR package. I have also used it for Street Photography, and it got me my first Explore on Flickr! It's tac sharp and great for landscapes. BUY BUY BUY!

Tiny, unobstrusive and SHARP !
This lives on my Rebel SL1, as if it was designed just for it. The 42mm or so equivalent coverage is a great companion to the EF 40mm f 2.8 I use on my full-frame Canon. I am finding it very sharp, even at f 11.
The slight barrel distortion is seldom troubling, as I can fix it with any of several 24mm settings that Adobe LightRoom offers.A later version of LR will probably hit that sweet setting dead-on.
