(Almost) complete list of native EF-M lenses

Hi, just because I've done it for myself, I share with you the list of all NATIVE EF-M lenses I found:

7 Canon lenses :
All Canon lenses are budget-friendly, and well build for this range. Outside the 22mm, all are stabilized. They are meant to be light and compact (all are under 300g.). As a direct consequence they are on the slow side.

- 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM compact fo 18-35mm équiv. (a bit shorter compared to the 18-55), stabilized, great optical quality. 220g.
- 15-45MM F/3.5-6.3 IS STM smaller than the 18-55, but full plastic build. 130g.
- 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM original kit lens for the M, full metal finish. 210g
- 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Optically, a good step above the 18-55 kit. Sharper and more homogenous 260g
- 18-150mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM kit superzoom, versatile and compact for this focal length. 300g
- 22mm pancake f/2.0 STM tack sharp and very light. Weak points: visible vignette wide open (easily corrected, especially with the 24mp sensor) and no IS. 105g.
- 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM. First EF-M macro lens. 1:1 ratio and x1.2 with "super macro" mode. two led imbedded for additional lighting when you nearly touch your subject. Compact, 130g.

1 Tamron lens:
- Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III VC tested by Dustin Abott : the biggest size to keep a balanced camera (with M1), optically good for the category, useful all-in-one.

10 Samyang/Rokinon lenses:
full manual: focus ring, aperture ring, no electronic contacts = no exifs. Usually, good optical quality/cost ratio.

Designed for APSC mirrorless:
- 8mm f/2.8 UMC II fish-eye very compact 260g.
- 12mm f/2 NCS CS UGA fast and compact, test reports very good optical quality for the cost. Personal test: same sharpness as Canon 11-22mm. 260g.
- 21mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC CS, compact 275g.
- 35mm f/1.2 ED AS UMC CS, 420g.
- 50mm f/1.2 AS UMC CS, 375g.
- 300mm f/6.3 ED UMC CS mirror design, very compact for a 300mm, 318g.

EF-M mount but designed for APSC reflex:
- 10mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS, 580g
- 16mm f/2 ED AS UMC CS, 583g

EF-M mount but designed for FF reflex:
- 20mm f/1.8 ED AS UMC, 497gn
- 135mm f/2 ED UMC 210mm f/2 pour less than 600$...but no AF. 830g.

1 Handevision Ibelux lens:
Manual lens designed for APSC mirrorless.
- 40mm F/0.85 big, heavy, expensive, but a unique look on the pictures.

1 LAOWA lens:
Manual lens designed for APSC mirrorless.
- 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D AFAIK, the widest EF-M orthogonal lens. To be released during 2018 march.

6 7artisans lenses:
Manual "retro" lenses designed for APSC mirrorless. Compact and fast primes.
- 7.5mm f/2.8, fisheye 275g
- 12mm f/2.8, 295g
- 25mm f/1.8, 143g
- 35mm f/1.2, 150g
- 35mm f/2, 320g
- 55mm f/1.4 272g

1 Sainsonic/Kamlan Lens:
Manual lens designed for APSC mirrorless.
- 50mm f/1.1 250g.

6 MEIKE lenses:
Found on Amazon for less than 100$
- 25mm F/0.95 more expensive (650$), heavier 540g.
- 28mm f/2.8 pancake, 106g.
- 35mm f/1.7, 180g.
- 50mm f/2.0 190g

2 lenses, just announced. No details at this stage :
- 25mm f/2.0
- 50mm f/1.7

That's it... 33 lenses. Only 8 of them with autofocus.

Do not forget the EF/EF-S lenses that can be useful and compact enough to work well with the M bodies, with full AF capabilities:
- EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Pancake, 230g w/ canon adapter
- EF-S 35mm f/2.8 Macro IS STM, 295g w/ canon adapter
- EF 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake, 235g w/ canon adapter
- EF 50mm f/1.8 STM, 265g w/ canon adapter
- EF 50mm f/2.5 macro, 385g w/ canon adapter
- EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM, 440g w/ canon adapter
- EF 85mm f/1.8 USM 530g w/ canon adapter
- EF 100mm f/2.0 USM 565g w/ canon adapter

PS : I didn't list the equivalent ciné lenses (rokinon and meike)

What a great list!

Would you add new lenses to this wonderful list later on?

I would like to see more compact, cheap lenses from third parties as well as from Canon from now on.

Thank you for your effort.

Sure! I'll be glad to keep this list updated.

I didn't look into 3rd party EF/EF-S manufacturer for lenses to use with the Canon adapter. Any Idea of some small lenses from Sigma/Tamron/whatever?

From my own experience, the upper weight limit for balanced handling is 400g with adapter (the canon 50 f/1.4). This adapter being 105g, i'm looking for lenses Under 300g.

With some exception to longer focal, of course.

Terrific and very useful list indeed!

Thanks a lot!

Great list and thanks for your work. Unless I missed it, I think you can add this lens to your list:

Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 Mark II Lens for Canon EF-M

On sale at B&H for $479

Mass = 460g

Good catch! I missed this one.

Any way to update my list without re-posting everything?

Great list... Thanks for taking the time to compile it!

I think as the original poster, you can click on "More Options" under the post and then edit it. I think this only works on the desktop version of the site, the option isn't there on the mobile version.

You may want to add a bump post underneath when you do so to bubble it up to the top of the list.

great list, thanks for compiling

the EF  28mm F2.8IS should be included with the EF/EF-s lenses .

I cannot edit my first post (?) So here are two additional lenses to consider (thanks to jcochran and davev8) :

1 ZY Optics/Mitakon:
Manual lens designed for APSC mirrorless.
- 35mm f/0.95 Speedmaster MarkII, 460g.

One small enough EF lens :
- EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM, 365g w/ canon adapter

I'll repost the updated complete list when a third one appears

I am still at 18-55 and 22 , I hope to add 11-22 and 55-200 soon .

You don't have to own all the lenses of this list in order to take good pictures and/ or enjoy shooting...;-)

These are the the lens that I want .

Nice job Hachu21 !

Have you find new lenses since that ?

EF-M 32 f/1.4 STM

You could take a look on v2 of the list, maybe?: 😉
