Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Set To Be Released On July 11

Canon Japan announced the release date for Canon’s third lens for the [shoplink 6091]EOS M[/shoplink] system, the wide-angle zoom 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens. It will be released to the public on July 11.

Good times for the so much criticised (not always for a good reason, imo) EOS M: the recently released firmware update countered the slow AF issue that were plaguing the EOS M since the beginning, and that yielded a lot of bad press. With firmware 2.0.2 the EOS M AF has become perfectly usable. Some videos that show the AF performance with firmware 2.0.2 on the 11-22mm are here.

The EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM can be pre-ordered at the following shops:

• Amazon Germany (€399) – ships also to Austria and Switzerland
