Product Description
-------------------
The dew on a flower. The color of a cat’s eye. The facets and
sparkle of a diamond ring. Some ultra-close-up photos are
difficult to capture with a standard lens. The compact EF-M 28mm
f/3.5 Macro IS STM for EOS M series digital cameras is the
world’s lightest autofocus lens and the world’s first macro lens
with a built-in Macro Lite, designed to help new and more
advanced users close in to capture these incredible details. The
built-in, forward-facing Macro Lite helps illuminate
hard-to-capture subjects for bright, vibrant photos showing off
big, bold details. The world’s first autofocus lens capable of
focusing to infinity in normal shooting and Super Macro Mode
provides magnification up to 1.2x, allowing for incredible
close-up photography. While you’re focusing that close, the
Hybrid IS image stabilization helps keep the image sharp by
helping to reduce blur due to camera shake. A lead screw-type STM
stepping motor means the lens is smooth and quiet during
operation. The EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM opens up a whole new
world of the macro for beginner and advanced users.

World’s lightest macro lens* and features Image Stabilization for
EOS M series digital cameras.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM is the world’s lightest macro
lens*, featuring a total length that’s less than 2.0 inches so
you can take it just about anywhere with its easy portability. To
help ensure pictures with minimal blur while capturing details
and small objects, the EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM also features
advanced Hybrid IS image stabilization technology.

World’s first lens with a built-in Macro Lite** which, when
enabled, automatically supplies light to your photos as needed,
helping to provide a better sense of depth and dimension.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lighting extreme close-up macro s can be tricky. The built-in
Macro Lite helps make this easier with LEDs that are integrated
into the front of the lens, which allow a range of illuminating
possibilities. Setting both sides of the light to maximum
brightness can reveal previously hidden details and add sparkle
to shiny subjects like jewelry or watches. Setting only the left
or right side to either bright or dim settings can help create a
better sense of depth and give dramatic dimension to minute
details.

World’s first autofocus lens capable of focusing at infinity***
in normal shooting and macro shooting with up to 1.2x
magnification.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The excitement of macro photography is being able to show
something small in a big way. The EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM’s
Super Macro Mode lets you get in even closer at up to 0.305
ft./0.093m from your subject. This allows you to see even more
detail, fill more of the frame with what you want to highlight
and keep unwanted background to a minimum. When using the EF-M
28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM for non-macro “normal” photography, it’s
capable of focusing all the way out to infinity just like a
standard lens. This is this first time this has been possible in
an autofocus lens***.

Hybrid IS helps reduce camera shake for enjoyable handheld
photography.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Image stabilization helps minimize blurring in an image due to
the small movements common when taking handheld photos. The
Hybrid IS system on the EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM is the same
system used in several of Canon’s most advanced EF lenses, and is
able to minimize the effects of shakes in the vertical plane (up
and down), as well as tilting or at an angle.
Stepping motor (lead screw-type STM) helps provide smooth and
quiet operation when taking photos, and near-silence when
shooting videos.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Whether you’re taking a close-up photo of a ladybug on a flower
or a video of a dog’s cheerful face, you don’t want noise that
startles your subject. The EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM uses a
lead screw-type stepping motor (STM), which helps ensure fast
autofocusing and near-silent operation while videos.
One UD lens and two aspherical lenses†help deliver outstanding
results at all zoom settings by reducing chromatic aberration.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM uses advanced Canon optics to
help provide high as of detail and contrast while keeping
unwanted chromatic aberrations, lens flare and ghosting to a
minimum. One UD lens element and two aspherical lens elements†
all work in concert to help provide a sharp, rich image in a
stylishly compact size.
† Including one double-sided aspheric lens.
Equivalent to a 45mm standard lens (35mm equivalent) for flexible
image capture of various subjects and scenes at macro distances
and beyond.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM isn’t just a macro lens. It’s
also great as an everyday walk-around lens for a wide variety of
subjects. With a 35mm camera equivalent to a 45mm lens, the EF-M
28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM is close to the human field of view, and
can capture images that appear similar to how you see them
normally. This means you can go from a macro photo of a flower’s
petal, to a head of a friend, to a landscape of a sunset, all
without changing the lens.
Acute lens top shape helps provide accurate image capture even at
short working distances.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The acute lens top shape on the EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM is
specially designed for close-in image capture. The center
assembly of the lens is smaller than the main body, allowing the
front lens element to get extremely close to your subject. At the
same time, the main body is set back so it doesn’t cast a shadow
onto what you’re photographing, or bump against the shooting
surface as you get in for that detailed macro image. Combined,
these features provide easy, convenient photography that’s
virtually unhindered by unwanted shadows from your equipment.
