Besides the canon 11-22mm look at the Rokinon/Samyang 8mm f2.8 lens. I have been eyeing it but can’t seem to pull the trigger

I know these exist for the EF-mount, but are they also EF-M compatible?

It might be over your budget but you could try https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?k=11-22 or https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00D7ZUTZ6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521928698&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=11-22mm&dpPl=1&dpID=51jc0SHw7IL&ref=plSrch

The Samyang 8mm f/2.8 EF-M is much nicer than the f/3.5 EF lens but both are manual focus fisheye lenses with no electronics. Amazon.de don't sell the f/2.8 lens but Amazon.co.uk do, see https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00TS9ID5S/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1521928363&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=Samyang+m&dpPl=1&dpID=41sk98dPfxL&ref=plSrch

The Samyang 12mm f/2 is nice and fast but more pricy than the Canon zoom and their 21mm f/1.4 is better than Canon's 22mm f/2 but 3x the size and 1½x the price and without autofocus, electronics or EXIF data.  For most purposes the 22mm f/2 is a better buy.
