The Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM lens with the supplied lens hood fitted The lens ships with a lens hood (ES-22) which also allows filters to be fitted, but there's no protective bag included. This is activated via the camera's menu system, rather than an On/Off switch on the side of the lens. The Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM boasts Image Stabilisation which Canon claims offers an advantage of up to 3.5 f-stops over lenses without a stabilizer. Rear of the Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM lens A small dedicated switch on the lens barrel allows you to choose between the right, left or both LEDs, and also toggles between two different intensities.įront of the Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM lens The Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM has a dedicated Macro Lite to illuminate small objects up close, diffused by a clear white ring. Side of the Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM lens The Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM lens alongside the Canon EOS M3 camera There are then actually two macro modes - 1.0x magnification in the "normal" shooting mode, and 1.2x magnification when the lens is extended again to the Super Macro setting. You simply need to rotate the zoom barrel to the first "dot" setting to extend the lens and start shooting, at which point it measures an additional 1.8cm. On the lens barrel is a lock switch that retracts the lens to its shortest length. The Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM has a retractable design for easier storage. The Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM lens with the built-in Macro Lite turned on The focusing ring is narrow and only has a very narrow ridged grip to assist with finger-tip operation. The Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM feels solid in your hand, although the plastic lens mount is disappointing to see. The Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM lens mounted on the Canon EOS M3 cameraĭespite this being a relatively inexpensive, lightweight lens, build quality is good. Being an EF-M lens, you can only use it on a Canon compact system camera body like the EOS M3 that we tested it with, for a 45mm equivalent angle of view. Weighing a mere 130g and measuring 45.5cm in length, the Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM is one of the smallest and lightest macro lenses that Canon offers. ![]() ![]() It's a virtually silent performer thanks to the built-in STM (Stepping Motor), while the optical image stabiliser corrects for angular camera shake, and there's a seven blade circular aperture for smoother bokeh. It offers a close-focus point of 13mm and a built-in Macro Lite to help remove shadows from the subject. Featuring an equivalent focal length of 45mm, the Canon EF-M 28mm lens can focus at both infinity and at 1.2x magnification. The Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM is an innovative macro lens for Canon compact system cameras. ![]()
