Re: Optically how good is the EF-M 11-22 IS STM lens?

I am one who doesn't care too much for the tests. Not that they do not give good information, but that the results I get when I shoot are more important to me. And the results I get from the 17-40  have more than satisified.

The reviews I read were admittedly before I purchased the lens and I have not bothered to read any more of them on that lens, since I own it and it performs very well. I don't look into EF-S lenses because they do not work on my DSLRs.

New lenses should perform better than older designs. That doesn't make the older designs mediocre, just not current.

If you truly wish to compare Canon lenses in that FOV range, the EF 11-22 f/4L is the ticket. A bit spendy, though.

BTW, the L in the lens designation is also about build quality, which none of the EF-S lenses I have held match. The EF-M 11-22 and 18-55 feel more like L lenses than EF-S lenses. the 18-55 survived bouncing on the tarmac from the roof of a moving car with minor exterior marks and no loss in performance.
