Not the best quality, but overall not bad.

Do not throw stones, expressed his personal opinion. Could not make friends with this lens. Problems with focus and not a "universal" focal length got me, as a result, the lens was sold without regret. Used on 650D and 60D.

Now time has passed, I switched to the Canon M6 UPC, where there is no problem of focus misses as such, but there is no longer any desire to buy this lens.
Firstly, it is too heavy for a cropped UPC. And secondly, a wonderful pancake 22mm 2.0 stm is now used as a staffer, it is no longer "narrow" and not "cramped" with it. It would seem that only 8 mm difference, but they were significant. And it blurs the background, not so much, but most often quite enough. As a portrait, I still use it through an adapter 50mm 1.8 stm. I would like to find a better and faster replacement for the latter, but this is still tight. There is no native fifty dollars at all, but putting big-heavy fifty dollars on a compact-sized camera is, excuse me, a perversion) Recently, sigma 56mm 1.4 appeared under ef-m, I can try it, but I haven’t really seen reviews in the version for this mount yet.
All the best!

Pros

Sharp when in focus; Relatively compact size; High-quality constructive; Blend included.

Cons

Often misses the focus, the docking station corrects the front-back, but not misses. For a stable focus, you need to press the aperture, but why then, say, fast optics? If at short distances it was still possible to get good shots through refocusing, then at distances > 5 meters, clarity was completely lost. Sometimes very strong HA on the open Although this lens is promoted by many as universal for crop, in fact the focal length of 30 mm turned out to be neither. When traveling and indoors, it can be "narrow" and "cramped". And in order to shoot a half-length or, even more so, a facial portrait with the correct proportions, you need at least 50 mm, more is better. So it goes.
