For a lightweight, compact, and portable lens, the Canon EF-M 15 to 45-millimeter f/3.5-6.3 Image Stabilization Stepper Motor Lens is a great lens to walk around with. This lens can function well for landscape shots, portraits, or just regular candid shots. The optical image stabilizer helps reduce camera shake, allowing for photographers who prefer handheld shots to thrive. The lens itself is built with engineering plastic, making it lighter than its metal counterparts, but it still maintains the strong build quality that Canon strives for.

The autofocus feature of the EF-M 15 to 45-millimeter lens is accurate and fast, allowing for clear shots with no blur, even when handheld. The focusing system has highly accurate performances throughout the entire zoom range. The corner-to-corner sharpness of this lens is not as great as previous lenses, but the center of the image has excellent sharpness. A lens hood does not come with the lens, but it is recommended to purchase one since the front element is far up front on the lens, putting it at risk of being damaged. Any photographer who appreciates the convenience of a walkaround lens that can take great candid shots should consider this Canon EF-M 15 to 45-millimeter lens.
