Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM

Name: EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM
Brand: Canon
Availability: InStock

The best wide-angle option for EOS M-series cameras — Canon's EF-M 11-22mm covers an 18–35mm full-frame equivalent range with built-in IS in a remarkably compact and lightweight barrel. Optically sharp throughout the zoom range with well-controlled distortion, it is the natural choice for landscape, architecture, and interior photography on any EOS M body. STM autofocus operates smoothly and quietly, making it equally capable for wide-angle video work. Exclusively for Canon EF-M mount cameras.

GearFrame's Take

The essential wide-angle lens for EOS M owners — compact, IS-equipped, and optically excellent for an ultra-wide zoom covering 18–35mm equivalent.
