Pros: Small - Lightweight - Sharp - Performing - Minimum focusing distance - Value for money

Cons: They don't build it anymore

Opinion: Small to disappear makes my M6 really pocket-sized. Very sharp lens, it returns bright colors and excellent contrast. Minimum focusing distance and use for almost all photographic genres. Excellent flare sealing and excellent travel companion. Coupled with the Canon M6 it forms a truly deadly combo. System in disuse by the parent company for years now but sought after in the world of second-hand. It is found at good prices and worth every penny paid out. Recommended!

Pros: Tiny and bright

Cons: lack of stabilization

Opinion: Used for years on the M5, it was always present in the bag due to its tiny size (along with 32 and 56). Taken to replace the 24 stm, with even smaller dimensions despite the extra stop. The quality is good both for sharpness and for the absence of aberrations. In my case, however, it didn't seem exceptional to me, the 24stm was more engraved and the 35 2.0 with speedbooster more three-dimensional. The lack of the stabilizer, not even present on the eos M bodies, limits its use at night or in videos, so in these situations I prefer the 35 2.0 IS. However, due to its good features, affordability and exceptional compactness, it is a "Must Have" for Canon M users.

Pros: Lightweight, bright, sharp, exceptional value for money.

Cons: Absent stabilizer

Opinion: This lens coupled with the m50 is perfect, (the lens that tells you let's go where you want) very fast in focus, with a faithful image in the colors and also behaves well on the backlight. All in very little space, the lens is so small that a friend of mine reminded me to put the lens, when it was already there.

Pros: Construction, brightness, sharpness, portability.

Cons: nothing.

Opinion: I was undecided whether to take this or the EF 24mm canon. F/2.8, in the end I chose the 22mm. because it protrudes less than the 24mm. + adapter. It is an excellent lens that on my M5 really becomes a winning pair to take on vacation or street. In a kit M should not be missing. It suffers a bit of flare, but the merits are superior to the defects. Highly recommended.

Pros: very small, light, good construction, cheap, very sharp, blurry pleasant

Cons: af not very fast, a bit of chromatic aberration

Opinion: Optics for canon m. system works only with small, light and well-built canon m. optically excellent, crisp and with pleasant blurry. some chromatic aberration. at full opening at the edges is not very sharp. used price in 2021 around 120-140 euros. autofocus is not a splinter, in fact it is decidedly slow. advised
