Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM Image Gallery

Canon has finally released a macro lens for it’s mirrorless system (the EOS M). The Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM is a very interesting lens for unexpected reasons. Few people were thrilled by its focal length (28mm, or 44.8mm full frame equivalent) or maximum aperture (f/3.5), but when the details of the lens began to emerge it quickly become more interesting. First of all, the lens has incorporated twin LED lights. Secondly, the lens sports a “Super Macro” mode which actually allows 1:2 Macro (slightly larger than life size). This is incredible magnification, though at a tiny, tiny working distance (3.7″/9.3cm from sensor). I will be sharing photos and videos here as I progress through my review. Enjoy!
