Pros: Stabilization, optical performance, compact and lightweight.

Cons: I unlock the lens to be able to photograph, but you get used to it.

Opinion: Excellent lens practically given away together with the M5 purchase kit. The yield calculating the value is excellent, you can do street or take it to the sea and in the mountains without problems given the lightness, it is equivalent to a 24-72 in full format, the only flaw at 45 mm is a bit dark but only if you photograph in low light conditions. Excellent value for money, those who have an M system should hold on to it and place the 22mm f/2 next to it.

Pros: Small, light, more than adequate optical performance at a now really ridiculous price (which is another gigantic PRO... it costs not even 60 euros!)

Cons: Having to "unlock" it with that racket stick...

Opinion: Vote 9 well deserved! If they had told me - before - how satisfied I would have been, I would not have believed it. Almost taken as a joke for the M10 because it cost less than a dinner in a pizzeria for 4 people, it turned out to be sharp enough even at TA, and a blade if closed by a stop. Silent AF as remembered by those in front of me, stabilized, but above all tiny and negligible: with this lens attached the M10 is a battle compact that fits in the pouch! The only flaw, as mentioned above, is that damn release mechanism, which you need to use when it is closed to start shooting: "put the lens in shooting position"... And this is also necessary to see the shooting data and the battery status. Bah... If I pick the engineer who came up with the idea of designing the process of use in this way, I tell him four (maybe even five or six). :D

Pros: Lightweight, Stabilized, Silent AF

Cons: Plastic mount

Opinion: Although I have owned it for some time I am still not convinced that I know how to use it fully, but I am happy both for the optical excursion and the photos are always perfect, for what little I do mostly 'panoramas, it is a good lens. I can't compare it with other lenses because it's the only one I have, I'm of the idea of looking for the best with the medium you have available.

Pros: Everything for the ridiculously low price paid, was included with the camera body

Cons: None for its price

Opinion: What can I say, I have the series M 11-22, the 22, the 28 and the 55 200. This objective based on its cost, that is included in the price with the machine body has the best value for money... And it has a stabilizer... It has its limits but it is built really well compact a battle objective, I use it for example at the sea on holiday with the family when I take it to the beach ... In daylight it is always clear. Much better than the smartphone to give an idea

Pros: Essential optics in an M set

Cons: 15 mm distortion

Opinion: ... for 2 years with the body m6 Old, it had to remain the only native optics, since the aim was to flank the reflex system aps-h or be the alternative to a compact quality in "light" outputs - to date it joins 11/22 - 22 - 28 macro - Kamlan 1.1 - - - - the focal and'.... perfect x a generalist use, not luminous but consistent with the M philosophy that favors a modern construction and weight/footprint to a minimum - very useful unlocking (now does not bother me) and the stabilizer - unique mole, the distortion at 15 mm and the yield on detail (my specimen is not a "blade", in the sense that it does not reach the detail of 22 but not even 11/22, but it is not even as mediocre as many describe it) - tried in macro with extension tubes... amazed me with really decent results -- with a ridiculous cost and a minimal footprint of the set of pipes, further expands the range of use of this optics - note: I did not do specific tests but in macro I used closed diaphragms (and this would confirm the previous reviews on the criticality to TA) and the distortion is very marked compared to 11/22 (which however is the best non L wide angle in Canon) - ultimately: remained stationary x almost 2 years, gold if I have to go out light, stay mounted in the car side by side with the Kamlan f 1.1 and tubes...
