Along with the Canon Rebel T4i, Canon has released the all new Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Pancake Lens. 

This lens has a focal length of 40mm and an aperture of 1:2.8 (f/2.8).  This is Canon’s first pancake lens for its EF lens lineup.  It is almost half as short as Canon’s smallest previous lens, the “nifty-fifty” 50mm f/1.8.  In addition to the size, the 40mm pancake weighs in at only 130g.  This is about 323g less than the 50mm 1.8.

The Canon 40mm pancake lens is quite an interesting lens.  It is tiny, lightweight has a speedy STM autofocus motor, a decently wide aperture and best of all costs only a cool $199.
