Canon EF-M 28mm F3.5 Macro IS STM APS-C Lens (2016)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Canon EF-M 28mm F3.5 Macro IS STM is a normal prime lens for Canon EF-M-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by Canon in 2016, it has 11 elements in 10 groups.
Unfortunately, Canon has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers.
The 1.2x magnification opens up a lot of opportunity for macro shots. A normal prime lens, the Canon EF-M 28mm F3.5 Macro IS STM does not boast the brightest apertures, though it still may be worth a try for landscape and street photography. Rare for its type, this lens also comes optically stabilized. This feature can help with some handheld work, particularly for videography.
Some photographers may be disappointed by the fact that the lens does not accept front screw-on filters.
