Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM First Impression (dpreview)

EF-M 11-22mm

dpreview updated their EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM first impression review. The 11-22mm is the third lens for the [shoplink 6091]Canon EOS M[/shoplink] system, the others being the [shoplink 6093]EF-M 22mm f/2 STM[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 6095]EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM[/shoplink]. About the EF-M 11-22mm they write:

The EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is Canon’s third lens for its mirrorless EOS M camera, and adds a useful wideangle capability in a package that’s impressively compact – especially considering that it’s got optical image stabilisation too. Our initial feeling is that it’s a rather nice little lens that’s pretty well-built, and a good match for the EOS M.

For the time being, the EF-M 11-22mm IS STM lens can be pre-ordered at Amazon Germany and at DigitalRev. You might be interested to check out the performance of the upcoming firmware update (V2) for the [shoplink 6091]Canon EOS M[/shoplink].

Canon EOS M Firmware Update Performance with EF-M 11-22mm IS STM Lens

EOS M Firmware Update

Thanks to Daero Lee (YouTube) we have some videos showing how the upcoming firmware update for the [shoplink 6091]Canon EOS M[/shoplink] performs with the new EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens.If I got it right, a pre-production model of the 11-22mm was used. For the time being, the EF-M 11-22mm IS STM lens can be pre-ordered at Amazon Germany and at DigitalRev.

The firmware update for the EOS M seems to hold what it promises: a definitely faster auto-focus. The AF performance was the EOS M’s biggest issue, and that’s a pity, since the EOS M is a wonderful little camera with an amazing image quality. If the firmware update delivers a better AF (and it looks as if it will do), then the EOS M could have a big comeback, especially if you consider that the price is now much lower than when the EOS M was introduced.
