  • Surprisingly good lens for the price
After the firmware update improving the autofocus speed of the EOS M and the price drop, I decided to pick one up to replace my point-and-shoot camera that I did not use very often because I was never completely satisfied with the image quality. I originally bought the camera with the EF-M 22mm f/2 STM pancake lens. While I was very impressed with the 22mm lens, I decided to add the 18-55mm lens to my kit for those times when focal length flexibility was more important than aperture. I found the 22mm f/2 to be impressively sharp and contrasty for such a small and cheap lens. The 18-55mm is not as quite as sharp as the 22mm, but is very good for a small zoom lens. It appears to be even better than the EF-S 18-55mm included as a kit lens with Canon's Rebel DSLRs, which itself is an impressive lens considering the price point. The EF-M 18-55mm also seems to focus faster than the 22mm f/2 - the increased DoF is probably helping here. The build quality is impressive, with a metal shell and metal mount. The extending portion and filter threads are made of heavy-duty plastic and feels very solid without any play, even when extended. Do not expect this lens to have the image quality of one of Canon's L lenses, but for the price it is a fantastic match for the EOS M. If you already bought the camera with the 22mm lens, consider adding this to your kit and completely replacing that point-and-shoot. ... show more

  • Great price for a great lens!! Great price for a great lens!!
Hi.... Delivery was on time ( next day as promised). Lens came in a Manila envelope, Wich I was not happy with! But the lens was well wrapped in 3 layers of bubble wrap. Lens is sturdy, well built and clean. No dents, scratches or visible abrasions. Glass was nice and clean. Overall, as of writing this review, I am very happy with the purchase. I've also taken some pictures ( The flat iron bldg.) and image quality seems good as well. And finally, what I liked the most of the fact that it's a CANON lens! ... show more

  • Nice Lens
This is a good lens for the EOS M. Optically very good. Not quite as nice as the 17-40L I have for my 7D, but close enough. The EOS M is so much more compact, that it travels with me on business trips that the 7D will not. With the 11-22, this lens covers most of what you need for street and landscape work. After processing, the images are fabulous. It is also good for movies. There is no focusing noise. ... show more

  • Good for the price; lower quality than the camera's sensor
A decent, low cost addition to my portable camera kit. It's a pleasure to use. It focuses plenty fast, feels well built and seems nicely matched to the EOS M body/weight. Whereas the 22mm pancake lens is so good that it lets the sensor provide all the quality it offers, this lens holds back the sensor a bit. And that's my only real gripe - it's just not as sharp as I'd like. Admittedly most of my shots have been toward the long end of the zoom and with smaller apertures for wide depth of field (on a tripod); maybe it does better at wider angles and with an aperture around f8-f13... ... show more

  • Great Walk Around Lens
When the EOS M cae out I purchased it immediately. It's smaller then a lot of the point and shoot cameras available, and the quality of the pictures are great. When I bought my camera it only came with the 22m lens. It's a fast and nice lens, but for every day use, I needed a zoom. The range is great, although it would have been nice to see it go beyond 100mm. Its relatively sdmall and fits in my camera bag for the EOS M. Don't forget to buy the 52mm UV filter to protect it. ... show more

  • Great little lens
I have several canon L lenses including the 85 1.2 and the70-200 2.8 is II .Sometimes I just don't need or want to take the the big heavy stuff out. I bought the eos-m camera and the 22 pancake lens as a kit ,then bought the ef-m 18-55 later. Both of them are sharp and well built they don't feel cheap at all. It's nice to have a small zoom but the the 22mm is a little sharper and better in low light. I wouldn't buy this if I was trying to get action shots it's a little slow focusing but for a walk around or candids it works great. I take this set up with me in the car and I'm never without a decent camera . I have to say the low light pancake is great and it's a little sharper but I find do use the zoom more. ... show more

  • Very nice for price Very nice for price
The only reason I bought this lens was because the one that came with my canon m50 mkii broke within a month of me having it (it fell off my bed) I’m broke asl ..lol and needed something cheap yet doable and of good quality. This is that. The only thing I don’t like is that the focus is really slow and takes long to focus on stuff. Besides that everything about this is perfect (also lens came with a part of the lens being scratched on the rotating part (don’t know the terminology) but great overall for it being used .
