One thing to be aware of is that early examples of the lens may need to be sent away for a firmware update, ensuring full compatibility with the latest EOS M cameras. It also comes complete with a hood, which you have to buy separately for the Canon lens. It’s about 50 per cent heavier than the Canon, but feels better built and has a metal rather than plastic mounting plate.
The Tamron 18-200mm is only a little larger, despite delivering a more generous zoom range and greater telephoto reach. You could naturally stick with Canon’s own-brand EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM, which measures 61x87mm and weighs in at 300g.
The best superzoom lenses for Canon cameras. The main advantage is that the epic zoom range, stretching all the way from wide-angle to telephoto focal lengths, enables you to react to pretty much any shooting scenario with just a twist of the zoom ring, rather than having to carry multiple lenses and swap between them. There’s a lot to be said for ‘ superzoom’ lenses' for travel and walkabout photography. Read more: Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens review Image quality is very pleasing, on a par with that of the EF-M 15-45mm and 55-200mm lenses, although the image stabilizer is slightly less effective, rated at 3-stops. Unlike many ultra-wide zooms, this one has an attachment thread (55mm) for the easy fitment of filters. The long-zoom aperture of f/5.6 is slightly wider than in the standard and telephoto zooms, and this lens also goes one better in terms of build quality, with a metal rather than plastic mounting plate.Īgain, you need to pay extra for the lens hood, which is sold as an ‘optional extra’ but is definitely worth having for reducing ghosting and flare, as well as giving physical protection to the front element. Wide-angle zooms can be notoriously big and heavy, but this one has the same kind of retractable design as the EF-M 15-45mm lens, shoehorning seriously wide viewing into physical dimensions of just 61x58mm. Sigma offers a competing 30mm f/1.4 Contemporary lens in EF-M mount at a cheaper price, but the Canon wins out with superior control of axial chromatic aberration or ‘ bokeh fringing’, at or near its widest available aperture.Ĭarrying on from the more mass-market standard and telephoto EF-M zoom lenses, this is the obvious choice for anybody wanting an ultra-wide viewing angle. This is especially true at shorter focus distances and, indeed, the lens has a very short minimum focus distance for a 50mm lens, at just 0.23m, which gives a generous 0.25x maximum magnification ratio.Īutofocus is quick and typically near-silent for a stepping motor system but, to speed things up even more in practice, there’s an autofocus range limiter switch, which you use to lock out focus distances shorter than 0.5m. As such, it gives you the potential to isolate subjects within a scene, thanks to a tight depth of field. 
Despite weighing just 235g and having diminutive physical proportions, it combines a classic ‘standard’ viewing perspective with a fast f/1.4 aperture rating. With an ‘effective’ focal length of 51.2mm, this lens equates to a ‘nifty fifty’ in full-frame terms, when used on an EOS M APS-C format camera. Read more: Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM review Overall, it’s the perfect standard zoom for any EOS M camera. Image quality is very good and the 3.5-stop optical image stabilizer is a bonus for handheld shooting. It’s arguably less convenient when shooting movies but enables greater precision when making adjustments for stills.

Unlike a number of retractable standard zooms from competing camera manufacturers, the EF-M 15-45mm has a manual rather than motorized zoom ring. However, telephoto reach isn’t quite as generous as in the original 18-55mm zoom. That’s because the ‘effective’ focal length at short end of the zoom range shrinks to 24mm rather than 29mm, thanks to the 1.6x crop factor. With a clever retractable design, it’s both smaller and lighter than the original lens, and has the bonus of a significantly greater maximum viewing angle. It replaces Canon’s older EF-M 18-55mm as the standard zoom of choice.
Typical of Canon’s EF-M lenses, this one is available in black (or dark grey, to be exact) but you can also buy it in silver.
