*** revision ***
Reading some of the reviews I think there are a few things that might be said to help others make a decision on this lens like,
1.) They are White Box Lenses i.e. they came from Canon packaged camera kits - Canon sold the EOS-M with the 22 mm or with both the 22mm and the 18-55 zoom <or> just the base unit, or with all lenses and the flash unit included in the same box and they offered these with USA warranties or as Imported units (gray Market)products.
What does this mean? - well the products are the same in manufacturing quality and design - the USA products carry the USA warranty and can be serviced by any authorized USA center vs the Imported that need to be sent out of country for service.
When you consider that Amazon will allow the return of the product in 30 days if say there is a defective issue you need to send it back - after that the seller might take it back if you ask or if not you are on your own - in reality this product is so reliable odds of having an issue are very slim - they will either work perfectly out of the box or they won't - if after a few years it fails (doubtful) just buy another - because the cost of repair would exceed the cost of a new replacement lens at today's selling prices.
2.) Yes the 22mm doesn't have IS and yes, there is some "minimal" distortion - Folks - a 22mm lens is nearly what is considered as a fish eye lens so that's normal for any 22 mm lens no matter the price point or manufacturer and totally correctable in Photoshop or other editing software.
3.) There is a lens shade for this lens - $10.00 on Amazon - get it.
4.) Be advised some of the cameras and lenses are Imported vs USA models - there is fine print listed covering this - it's not really a big deal given the cost of these cameras and that the 30 day Amazon return option will cover you as most will either be DOA or last for normal service intervals.
I have another take on if you should get the M lenses or use your glass - here's mine, I bought both of the M lenses even though I have nearly every L glass Canon makes up to the 300 mm F2.8 Prime so I have a big $ investment in L glass and I did buy the adapter however, I'm not going to use my L glass for everyday shooting on this camera - that would defeat the reason for a small camera and putting my L glass in harms way by dragging it around in the car or what ever - forget it - the kit lenses are very acceptable in terms of sharpness and overall performance ie. speed, clarity, color rendering, etc. so for a camera and lens arrangement for everyday use and go in harms way that's why I went with the kit lenses. now if I decide to do some serious stuff with the small base unit because of the size and weight savings I can drag out the L glass and have at it - I like options.
1. The speed of AF. It focuses much faster than my kit lens
2. The depth of field blur (bokeh) is very nice. With a f/2, the sensor is able to take in quite a bit more light than my kit lens' minimum of f/3.5, and this makes for a much better DOF.
3. Low light performance. This ties in with the previous point. f/2 takes in plenty of light for indoors shooting without having to raise the ISO very much at all. If you've got yourself a still subject and a stand for the camera, crank down that shutter speed and enjoy crisp images.
4. I mentioned I tested the lens out on my stream and I wanted to expand on how the quality is improved. My kit lens was rough when I tried streaming at 4k because it would take 10+ seconds to focus properly on my face. This lens cuts that down to maybe 3 or 4 seconds, though the AF does hunt quite a bit more. I think maybe this lens is more sensitive to changes in contrast. Either way, it's a marked improvement. In 1080p mode the AF is lightning fast and the image quality is crystal clear.
All in all, I highly recommend this lens for anybody that needs a good streaming lens or stills lens. I'm going to take it out to do some video testing and might update my review with what I find there.
*P.S. I love the pancake size too, it's so compact and easy to carry around.
Top reviews from other countries
It hasn't come off my camera since day one and I've been shooting everything with it: landscape, macro, stock, chickens, and even food. It's brilliant in low light and has a lovely, crisp image with variable depth of field. It's so tiny and lightweight, I can take my camera out in a shop without anyone calling security.
A few things that take getting used to. The auto-focus is a bit slow and it's a lot louder than my kit lens. The vibration is a bit grinding on my hands as it hunts for focus, so I need to find the button that takes it off continual focus and only does it when I half-press the shutter. I find I get the sharpest image if I auto-focus then manual focus to perfection.
The other thing I have trouble with is the lack of image stabilization. I thought I was doing really well with my kit lens, being able to get sharp images up to 1/4 of a second, but no. It was the IS. With this lens, I have to be careful at anything less than 1/60th and even then, it's still better if I can use a tripod.
Most of these issues are user-problems, so I won't dock the lens any stars. And even still, if I could only ever have one lens, this would be it.
