Product Description
Product Description
Designed for use with the EOS M Compact Systems Digital Camera, the new EF-M 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM lens offers a compact and lightweight design for easy portability. Its image stabilization system provides up to four equivalent stops of shake correction to deliver stunning video and photos without blur. A seven-blade circular aperture helps create beautiful, soft backgrounds for expressive video and portraits!
From the Manufacturer
The EF-M 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM has three aspheric lens elements that help reduce aberration throughout the zoom range to provide high resolution and high contrast for superb image quality. Optimized lens placement and coatings ensure minimized ghosting and flare. This lens also supports the EOS M Digital Camera’s Movie Servo AF function for smooth and quiet continuous autofocus during video shooting by utilizing a stepping motor; it even has Dynamic IS to provide the image stabilization needed while recording video when walking (in movie shooting mode).

I have to say the low light pancake is great and it's a little sharper but I find do use the zoom more.
Do not expect this lens to have the image quality of one of Canon's L lenses, but for the price it is a fantastic match for the EOS M. If you already bought the camera with the 22mm lens, consider adding this to your kit and completely replacing that point-and-shoot.
Delivery was on time ( next day as promised).
Lens came in a Manila envelope, Wich I was not happy with! But the lens was well wrapped in 3 layers of bubble wrap.
Lens is sturdy, well built and clean.
No dents, scratches or visible abrasions.
Glass was nice and clean. Overall, as of writing this review, I am very happy with the purchase. I've also taken some pictures ( The flat iron bldg.) and image quality seems good as well. And finally, what I liked the most of the fact that it's a CANON lens!
