Upgrading from your Kit Lens

The Canon EF-M cameras have a very limited range of decent lenses available for the system. So what are the options for people wanting to upgrade from the kit lens? I tested out the highly-regarded 22mm F2 Pancake lens and compared it to the kit lens, for both video and photography.

I also got myself an adapter that lets me use EF and EF-S lenses with Canon’s EF-M cameras. This gave me a chance to compare the performance of the kit lens against the nifty fifty (50mm F1.8) for portrait photography and for street photography. Finally, I got to test out the Canon 75-300mm lens for some simple Astrophotography – and learned the basics for taking pictures of the moon.
