You could naturally stick with Canon’s own-brand EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM, which measures 61x87mm and weighs in at 300g. Read more: The best superzoom lenses for Canon cameras (opens in new tab) The main advantage is that the epic zoom range, stretching all the way from wide-angle to telephoto focal lengths, enables you to react to pretty much any shooting scenario with just a twist of the zoom ring, rather than having to carry multiple lenses and swap between them. There’s a lot to be said for ‘ superzoom’ lenses (opens in new tab) for travel and walkabout photography. Read more: The Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens review (opens in new tab)
Image quality is very pleasing, on a par with that of the EF-M 15-45mm and 55-200mm lenses, although the image stabilizer is slightly less effective, rated at 3-stops. Unlike many ultra-wide zooms, this one has an attachment thread (55mm) for the easy fitment of filters. The long-zoom aperture of f/5.6 is slightly wider than in the standard and telephoto zooms, and this lens also goes one better in terms of build quality, with a metal rather than plastic mounting plate.Īgain, you need to pay extra for the lens hood, which is sold as an ‘optional extra’ but is definitely worth having for reducing ghosting and flare, as well as giving physical protection to the front element. Wide-angle zooms can be notoriously big and heavy, but this one has the same kind of retractable design as the EF-M 15-45mm lens, shoehorning seriously wide viewing into physical dimensions of just 61x58mm. Overall, it’s the perfect standard zoom for any EOS M camera.Ĭarrying on from the more mass-market standard and telephoto EF-M zoom lenses, this is the obvious choice for anybody wanting an ultra-wide viewing angle. Image quality is very good and the 3.5-stop optical image stabilizer is a bonus for handheld shooting. It’s arguably less convenient when shooting movies but enables greater precision when making adjustments for stills.

Unlike a number of retractable standard zooms from competing camera manufacturers, the EF-M 15-45mm has a manual rather than motorized zoom ring. However, telephoto reach isn’t quite as generous as in the original 18-55mm zoom. That’s because the ‘effective’ focal length at short end of the zoom range shrinks to 24mm rather than 29mm, thanks to the 1.6x crop factor.
With a clever retractable design, it’s both smaller and lighter than the original lens, and has the bonus of a significantly greater maximum viewing angle. It replaces Canon’s older EF-M 18-55mm as the standard zoom of choice. Typical of Canon’s EF-M lenses, this one is available in black (or dark grey, to be exact) but you can also buy it in silver.

The complex optical path includes three top-grade FLD (‘Fluorite’ Low Dispersion), two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) and two glass moulded aspherical elements, all of which work together to deliver sumptuous image quality. Build quality is very good indeed, with a sturdy metal mounting plate and smooth-action focus ring, electronically coupled to a fast and near-silent stepping motor autofocus system. However, when we reviewed the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN | C, we were blown away by the quality inside and out. Even so, considering its combination of a 16mm focal length (25.6mm ‘effective’ in full-frame terms) and a fast f/1.4 aperture rating, it’s still remarkably small and light, typical of Sigma’s ‘Contemporary’ line-up of lenses. Compared to most own-brand Canon EF-M lenses, this Sigma is comparatively weighty at 405g.
