Compared to the standard kit lens with other EOS DSLRs this is a great kit lens. My copy is extremely sharp and fast and can deal with all manner of lighting. It's discreet for street photography and lightweight for travel.

I didnt expect to like this little lens. After having used the olympus, sony, panasonic, fuji pancake (the pana and fuji are almost as good but I really hate the a: lack of real MF and b: the irritating powerzoom). This came as a real surprise. The IQ is very good for what this is.

Canon did it again; Very small and light; Very inexpensive; Surprisingly good image quality; Decent zoom and manual focus; On the newest M50 high speed AF; For the price,size and IQ a steal

Only average built quality; Only 3.5-6.3

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.

Lens fits camera and works great. I thought it would be heavier but it's light weight due to the material it's made of.

Don't know as it is a Christmas present

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.

Using this lens on the M6, the corner sharpness is terrible. I sent it in for repair and that made no difference. You need to stop down to f11 to sharpen the corners. This is an embarassement of a lens for Canon. Other three EF-M lenses that I own are all much much better.

Announced in October 2015 to complement the EOS M10 camera (which we didn't review), the EF-M 15–45mm f/3.5–6.3 IS STM lens is offered as one of the standard kit lenses with the new EOS M5 camera .

This is the lens that came with the EOS-M10 which I purchased for my wife. I love the focal range, considering that most of us spend over 90% of our efforts within this area. So just for curiosity's sake, I took this lens off the M10 and tried in on the likes of the M, M2, and M3.

Very light - yet has what I would call "quality" construction for the genre; Optical quality is actually much better than I had originally assumed when it was released; And the price is outstanding also.

All plastic construction, but that's par for the course now-a-days among many lenses being released at this price-point; In addition, I tend to forget to unlock the lens, causing me to have to go back to unlock it before you can shoot.
