Pros: Compact and lightweight for focal length;

Cons: not particularly sharp

Opinion: Used for years with the M5, it is very comfortable to wear due to its compactness and lightness. A little incisiveness is lacking in the images produced. It works best closed at f8 but is never a definition champion. Even if at close range it is better than at infinity. Surprisingly good blur for the type of lens. AF fairly fast and quiet and IS normal. Good companion to an EOS M as long as you don't look for extreme sharpness.

Pros: Focal length, compact

Cons: Sharpness not always good

Opinion: Taken with so many expectations, I came from an olympus 40-150 that was always accurate, but in some respects it disappointed me a bit. Knowing to buy the M series I would not have had such performing lenses for wildlife photos but if I take a picture of a bird a little distant or moving with scarcity of light ... Better to leave it alone... which did not happen with Zuiko. Of course its priamrio use is not for this, you can already guess it before buying it, but to resume still subjects even at a distance as long as there is light and clear days. Otherwise its limits come out. It is good to photograph the details of a bell tower, to try to understand its use. It is also good for taking pictures of small animals or insects at close range but not to disturb them here it surprised me. Not to be used as soon as the sun goes down and I highly recommend taking its hood that Canon charges separately.

Pros: Wide focal excursion in relation to size, good quality, stabilized, sharp already at full opening up to 150 mm

Cons: No one if you know what you buy

Opinion: It's my all-rounder zoom I use on eos m50. Together with ef m 11 22 ef m 22 and ef m 28 they are all in a small bag with a small weight. From 55 to 150 it is already crisp at full opening (in the center at least) for my amateur needs. Paid 200 euros used is a bargain. Light but robust despite the plastic of which it is built makes it appear at first accosted like a toy. It's not an L series but given the cost/weight/size I always carry it behind and was never disappointed. Only mole, you do to say, maybe it is a little dark, but if you know what you buy you can also pass over it .

Pros: Used cost, very good image quality up to 150 mm, effective stabilizer, very quiet focus, weights and dimensions reduced to the bone

Cons: Plastic construction, very sensitive zoom ring, loses 150 mm up

Opinion: If I have to say it in three words I would say that it is a "Plastic Is Fantastic!", The construction is totally plastic and the feeling to the touch is "crunchy" but given the small size to the bone and the very good quality in relation to the type of lens it is, demanding a metal construction would have been too pretentious. But in its "plasticity" it shows that on the glass they have not spared too much: the sharpness remains almost excellent up to 150 mm, from 150 mm up it begins to become softer but it is something to expect from such a product, but nothing that does not resolve by closing the diaphragm by a stop. Very fast and very quiet focus and effective stabilizer although slightly "lazy" in getting into action when switching from the scene to the menu and vice versa (about 2 seconds late), but when it comes into action it shows its effectiveness (at 200 mm I managed to get down to 1/30s) and otherwise I have to say that although it does not have a large diaphragm or large macro capacity, in the close ups he does well by detaching the subject well and blurring the background with dignity.

Pros: Handy and very practical in addition to the lightness, I was amazed at its brightness compared to what I expected, stabilization and very rapid focus with Canon M6 mark II impeccable and soft excursion, no disturbance detected by the focal variation.

Cons: Plastic grafting although it looks of excellent robustness and texture, a little soft on the long focal

Opinion: I must say that I am surprised by this optics, I thought it was much darker than what I had read; but for me nothing at all despite being an f/4.5-6.3, we are talking about an optics that reaches 320 mm in APSC. I did not notice any optical defect in normal conditions of use, in non-optimal light conditions the yield is soft from 150 and up but tested on the portraits is amazing... If thinking about what has been said and tried, I am fully satisfied with this goal...
