Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM 22mm
Its f/2 constant aperture and 7-blade diaphragm create soft background blur, with STM autofocus that operates silently for video in a pancake body. The bundled filter kit adds immediate creative control, while the 15cm minimum focusing distance enables close-up detail work. It’s best for portrait and street photographers using EOS M cameras who need a compact 35mm-equivalent prime with smooth bokeh.
