Which lens is the best for your use with EOS Ms?

When I look at B&H, I am surprised to see many EF-M lenses.

Cine lenses are excluded and 18-150 is here for those who will buy this soon.

And of course, we have EF/EF-S lenses that are not in this list.

I wanted to make a poll for multiple choices, but the poll seems to allow only one choice.

How you can choose between 11-22 and 22? The both great:)

Change it to a multiple choice.

I really wish, but I have no idea of it. Sorry.

When I made this poll, my original intention was to vote two selections, but I found that there seemed no way to do it. So I had to change the title and content of the post.

superb 11-22 is my most used lens, but I cannot deny the sexiness of my 0.95

Not EF-M mount, but same optics, I believe.

Thank you for the links:) This is just proof one thing — f/0.95 is not everything:)

You're right, aperture isn't everything.

Fortunately, the mk2 revision is an overall great lens.

The middle 2 reviews are of the 1st generation, first and last reviews are of the 2nd gen and note how much improvement that is over the 1st gen.

Center field sharpness is better than my canon 50 1.4 both with speedbooster and plain adapter, while being more compact in size and better suited to the M3 body than adapted EF lenses.

I'll try to sooner than later do a more comprehensive review with samples including brick walls etc. The majority of the pictures I've taken so far are of other people i know, none of which care to have their image on a public forum.

My two favorite lenses...

On my M1 are the EF-M 22/2 STM and the EF 40/2.8 STM on Canon's EF-M adapter.

Great! I never thought of using 40/2.8, which must be cool because of its compactness.

Here are my three musketeers.

One Rokinon and two Canons

Especially, using a small fish-eye is a great fun with my M.
