I don't see it mentioned often. Which of course makes sense with the EF-M 22mm f2 and EF 24mm f2.8 IS in play. I eliminated the native EF-M 22mm because I prefer closer to the 40mm to 50mm equivalent. The EF IS version is still an option but think I'd prefer the smaller size of the EF-S on my M200.

What are some pros and cons of this lens compared to the more popular EF 24mm F2.8 IS? Well other than the obvious lack of IS.

Thank you.

On a crop sensor the ef-s lens has more contrast wide open and maybe even a tad more sharpness. The EF lens has faster AF.

Another obvious difference: the EF lens is a full frame lens covering a full frame sensor with not a whole lot of distortion. There's no RF lens providing this. This could be valuable when adding a full frame camera to the kit, especially because some RF zooms don't cover the 24mm focal length very well.
