Pros: An all-rounder and clarity in the presence of light

Cons: Supermacro function with scarcity aperture limits

Opinion: I bought it for macro photos turned out to be an all-rounder that led me to postpone at the time of purchase of the 32mm. For macro photos maybe it is my biggest disappointment, in the supermacro function with stationary objects they are perfect, with insects or flowers moving with the wind it is unusable. But by disabling the supermacro function the focus for macro photos becomes good even with insects and flowers in slight movement. Where I was surprised is the photos in broad daylight or at least with light. They are very sharp, for the views come out beautiful colors and for the close-ups they are excellent. The LEDs use them little, but they can be convenient. Excellent stabilization.

Pros: Small and light, built-in lighting, price

Cons: Poor opening

Opinion: Taken on a "global" ecommerce site for less than two hundred euros. Within three weeks of ordering, the box arrives very damaged, and held together in the bottom by a sin with Chinese characters. It is not sealed, it lacks the instruction leaflet (not bad, but it has evidently been opened) and that of the guarantee. However, the lens is perfect, with the two caps and a metal "proteggiled" (Canon ES-22) that also does in a certain sense as a lampshed, naturally removable to the need. That is an essential objective. Macro, with integrated lighting, two-intensity plus deactivation, through repeated pressures of the special key card, which in my opinion sins in not being backlit, and always for the happiness of the short-lived batteries of the M. Addirittu system the unlocking handcuff (which non-dramaticly extends the lens) gives the possibility to access the additional supermacro mode, and this confirms the official data of the nine centimeters of minimum focus distance from the sensor, occupied in large part by the lens. It is clear that you take it for that, having on the one hand the 22 f2 and on the other, for example, the 40 pancakes (with adapter): the lighting is decisive, especially with non-smooth surfaces such that they would literally reflect its shape. In my opinion, a third ring is missing for the fine adjustment of the lighting, but it does not matter: space should have been identified, and the choice of lightness and portability excluded it by creating a slightly dark fix. The maximum aperture of f3.5 is certainly not a first, and the bokeh is what it is. In difficult situations, however, stabilization helps, another of the advantages of this small sample, but in supermacro mode (as already highlighted by those who precede me) going out of focus is really a moment. In my opinion, it is the lens that makes the M system definitive on the others (mirrorless aps-c and m4/3) as well as establishing its economic convenience. Photographing macros has never been easier: small objects are approachable at will, LED lighting lowers ISO's hunger and this in resolute sensors gives more possibilities for crop. On the Eos M3 the integrated flash is very strong CMQ (even at minus two stops of discharge intensity) compared to the lighting of the right LED, which little compensates (to activate only one of the two side LEDs must be pressed for a long time and then several times the appropriate key, up to the active side and the desired intensity). EDIT: the proteggiled ES-22 Is the lampshed! :P

Pros: Good quality, small and light

Cons: Nervous bokeh

Opinion: Purchased from a month and paired with an M5 to replace a 24 2.8 STM for close-up and macro set. The quality of the files is more than good, with a good sharpness already from 3.5. The flare is very well controlled, good starry on the light points and chromatic aberrations almost non-existent. The focus is sufficiently fast and quiet, comfortable is the IS (which gave me some advantage even in close shots freehand) that the front illuminator. At the construction level I would have preferred to have on the barrel the commands to disable is and AF, but it is a choice that canon has made for all M series optics. Among the negative notes the bokeh. Perfectly creamy at macro distances at intermediate distances becomes quite nervous, with a marked "onion ring" effect. Moreover, the diaphragm blades do not seem rounded because already from 5.6 the bubbles are no longer circular. However overall I am definitely satisfied, and although perfectible, for the price is a great purchase.

Pros: Versatility (not just macro), size, photo quality.

Cons: For a lens from M, nothing.

Opinion: The dimensions of this lens reflect the EF-m philosophy dedicated to M series machines. Therefore, lightweight and contained in weights and CM. The quality is more than good in both macro and general uses. I agree with Mauryg11 on the difficulty to use it in "Super macro" freehand where the IS is unusable: serves a tripod, while the two front illuminators "would" discreetly their work. Come on, happy with the purchase and I would recommend it to anyone who has an M system. In the FF bag a place for EF 100 L 2.8 IS I always find it, in the (smaller and lighter) bag for M This 28 has a fixed place.

Pros: Q/P ratio-led illuminators-Versatility

Cons: Range of use of LED illuminators

Opinion: Excellent solution The equipping of a macro optics of integrated light-the focal choice, guarantees a rather flexible use, from macro, to panorama, to shots + generalists-all with good quality from the point of view of surrender, combined at a competitive price- Excellent in close-up shots, where the reduced MAF distance and the 1:1 ratio make it suitable for "free-hand" use-too bad that the built-in illuminators, although flexible in management, are less effective than 5/6 cm, unless they want to lighten slightly Shadows-in super-macro mode instead, the illuminators are really effective, but managing the Click to "Free hand" becomes + complicated, given the minimal minimum distance of MAF to 13 mm, which while closing to F. 16 on a 28mm and APS-C sensor, fails to ensure that PO Chi mm of PDC-in essence, a multipurpose optics, which integrates perfectly with the M system, economical and performing-perfect to be put in the bag with 11/22 and 50 stm (or other combinations), X have many options in little space, without sacrificing the quality
