An Understated Performer - the EF24mm

This has been around in the market. I highly recommend it for Canon's mirrorless cameras. It performs well on FF bodies as well, but it's most useful as street photography lens when used with the M6 or M5. IS allows me to take shots at 1/10 with 70% keeper rate. Generally quiet and light. Hard to find a lens hood for it though.

The lenshood is easy to find, it is called Canon EW-65B. You can find it in many shops, and you can order it at any Canon dealer...

Where you live, it's easy for you to say.

Yes, we have stores that can order Canon parts in the Netherlands.

No doubt you can also order Canon parts in Manilla....
