Anyone using Canon's new-ish 24mm 2.8 STM Pancake lens?

If you have experienced this lens, please share your thoughts. I'm considering it, but need a nudge. The price is sure right, and the early reports seem positive. But what about comments from real users?
Thanks

Any strengths/weaknesses as you have experienced? Do you have other prime lenses? If so, how does the 24mm fit into the scheme? I have the 40mm 2.8 STM, and like it quite a lot. Was wanting a wider prime. Just not sure the difference being 16mm wider(than the 40mm) , is actually wide enough to make a big difference.

I bought the lens and had a change of plans so it didn't get used for a while, did use it last week for two days on a trip and will post a shot or two later, did post a pano taken with it yesterday, check topic "Opinion", in photo gallery, this is a 4 frame @f8 pano, hand held but braced against a fence post.

I use it on an SL1 as my street camera. The whole setup is no bigger than a bridge camera.

Up load is saying too big for posting, check my Flicker site,

I just uploaded a Pano and a single frame from that pano to Flickr, shot with the 24mm @f8, handheld but braced on a fence, T4i

I thought about it but with a different Canon 33-70 macro 3.5\4.5, I think. I am not home to look but $20.00 well spent.
