Like other EF-M lenses, the EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM features an AF+MF focusing mode that combines quick and accurate autofocus with the artistic possibilities of manual focus. This EF-M lens is available in graphite or silver.

Good wide angle for everyday use. Image quality is not the best but it's a kit lens so you might not expect either. The sharpness is a good bit from my other lens. However, chromatic aberration and distortion do not seem to be a problem. But I'm far from an expert on the subject.

In that capacity it's a good lens when purchased in a bundle with a camera body, but EF-M 18-55mm owners probably don't want spend full price to add it to their kit. The EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is a stronger option if you want to buy a wider lens. DesignThe 15-45mm ($299.00 at Amazon)  features a collapsible design, measuring about 1.8 by 2.4 inches (HD) at its smallest, and extending its height by an inch to an inch and a half when ready to shoot. The barrel and mount are plastic and finished in your choice of silver or black, so it weighs just 4.6 ounces. It supports 49mm front filters. The...
