Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM

The Canon EF-M 15–45mm f/3.5–6.3 IS STM is a standard zoom lens designed for APS-C sensors, which corresponds to a focal length of 24–72mm on a full-frame camera. The optical design comprises three aspherical elements, one of which is moulded glass and the other two precision-moulded. The image quality is truly excellent. The lens arrangement is exemplary and the surfaces are coated to reduce reflections and ghosting.

Taking pictures is made much easier by the optical image stabilisation, which helps up to 3.5 apertures. The STM stepper motor focuses quickly and smoothly, and quite silently. If you really want to do some serious tweaking then manual focus is your friend. When you want to take advantage of the compact size of the EOS M cameras, a lens like this is a nice match.
