marike6 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 This is surprising considering the 40 2.8 is marketing it as video lens. But maybe the video posted above wasn't made with an STM compatible camera: From B&H EF 40 2.8 Preview: "Most importantly for video shooters; STM technology is a camera-body based attribute that, when paired with an STM designated lens, offers smooth and silent continuous autofocus while capturing video." Apparently the 5D3 Firmware Version 1.1.3 will: 1) Support the single focal length EF40mm f/2.8 STM lens that is to be released at the end of June, 2012. So it's likely that's what's going on in the video above - no support for STM in the camera they used to test the 40 2.8 - although it's not clear as the review explicitly mentions STM.
