Review on πŸ“· Compact System Lens: Canon EF-M 22mm f2 STM by Danish Affndy ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

I have been using the EF-M system for a long time. I have always been pleased with its compactness and low weight. However, before buying this lens, I had no idea that a camera with a lens could be so compact. Canon M6 with this lens fits into any pocket, no need to carry even a small purse. The lens itself is awesome. The main scourge of the EF-M series lenses is aperture. This lens is the second fastest in the series, while it is more than two times cheaper than the fastest lens. The picture from it is wonderfully good: it is sharp and contrasting. I have never been an adept at fixes, but having bought it, I realized that 35 mm is exactly what I need. The lens is "wide" enough to shoot landscapes and architecture, and "smooth" enough to shoot portraits without the monstrous distortion of wide-angle optics. In general, not glass, but a fairy tale. The only negative that we managed to find is its "non-solidity": the central part of the lens has a small stroke when focusing. When you turn off the fotik, this part is automatically minimized, but nonetheless.

Pros
  • Compactness, sharpness, contrast, weight, price, picture quality
Cons
  • retractable inner "barrel" of the lens

It is quite suitable for portrait or low-light shooting, I am satisfied with the purchase, as an addition to the 18-55 lens

Has pros: Sharp even wide open. Lightweight and small Some cons: It costs almost as much as the m50 carcass itself.
