Review on 📷 Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 STM Lens, Black - Sharp and Versatile for Exceptional Images by Anna Reed

Incredibly sharp with almost no optical issues. This really makes the EOS M3 a great combination for the serious landscape photographer who doesn't want to (or can't) lug around extra gear. To me, taking a 5d mkiii and a 16-35mm for a 5 day hike is unrealistic, but you hardly notice the weight of this camera and lens combo. This lens has limitations, most notably the minimum aperture. This severely limits the use of the lens outdoors or in very bright indoor lighting. This lens also gets pretty soft near f/22. Using the focal length and depth of field of the cropped body I found that at f/8.0 when I focused to infinity pretty much everything but 0-8ft was very sharp. I did notice chromatic aberration in the extreme corners of some high-contrast shots, but it was minimal enough to easily remove in LR. I felt the lens focused as quickly or even faster than the 18-55, while still clearly outperforming it in terms of optical performance.
