CanonEF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro is STM International Version (No Warranty)

A newbie when it comes to photography and I have no idea what I'm truly doing...haha..! Lots of learning through experimentation. I will say that as a cheaper alternative I have previously purchased and used extension tubes and macro filters. Whilst both of these may produce a half-decent macro shot, there is a lot of trial and error, especially as a newbie. With a few extra pennies in my pay packet, I decided to jump in and buy the actual macro lens (small discount on it at the time).I have not used it fully, but a few random shots around the house has produced some very clear detailed images, so I'm happier as the extension tubes were beginning to frustrate me...!!! (They have subsequently been returned, so 50 quid back in my pocket)Overall I think my macro experimentation/learning will be a much more pleasant experience.

This is such a great little lens. Not only is is a capable macro lens, it can focus to infinity so it’s also a great little walk around lens.The built in light is genius.As a macro lens, it’s very capable and as I photograph objects that are around 1mm in size, I also use it with a set of extension tubes and it copes just fine.

Wow! Check out the built in macro lights. Had some really nice macro shots with this lens. Sharp as my wife's tongue.

Nice lens let down by canon development of more m series lenses yes you can use an adapter for other canon lenses but defeats the object of being small an light. Nice camera but think before you buy if bird photography or nature is your preference. But good for landscape,street and portrait etc. Nice lens. All macro shots handheld.

The lens is lightweight and connects well to the camera body (I used it on my Canon EOS M3 and M5 bodies). I found it difficult to get a good macro shot hand held. I haven't tried it with a tripod yet. I havn't use the lens flash yet - maybe this will help with sharpness?
