Condition and Inspection Results

Grade: Near Mint

Appearance of the item

This lens presents a beautiful exterior with minimal signs of use, aligning perfectly with its 'Near Mint' grade. There are no significant scratches, dents, or wear visible. Please examine the provided photos for a detailed visual assessment.

Functional Status

Tested and confirmed to work properly. We have thoroughly checked the lens's operational aspects:

  • Autofocus (AF) & Helicoid: Operations are smooth, quick, and accurate.
  • Aperture: Functions correctly, opening and closing smoothly at all settings.
  • Manual Focus: Responds smoothly without any binding or inconsistencies.

Optics (Lens Elements)

The lens elements are largely clean and clear. We meticulously inspected the optics, confirming:

  • Dirt: None
  • Dust: None
  • Haze: None
  • Fungus: None
  • Scratches: None on external surfaces

However, in full transparency (Weakness-First Principle), we identified a minor wipe mark-like internal dirt on the inner side of the front element. This is a common occurrence in used lenses and, based on our experience, is not expected to significantly impact image quality under normal shooting conditions. We have priced the lens accordingly to reflect this minor cosmetic detail.

Known Issues for This Model (Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM)

As a responsible seller, we believe in transparently disclosing common issues associated with specific equipment models. For the Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM lens, it's known that the stepping motor (STM) or its internal drive gear can occasionally fail, potentially leading to inconsistent or slow autofocus performance, especially with moving subjects. In rare cases, manual focus might stop working, or an "ERR-60" code could be triggered by a light impact.

Our Inspection Results: We have thoroughly tested this specific lens. We confirmed that its autofocus and helicoid functions are operating smoothly and accurately across different lighting conditions, with no noticeable issues regarding speed or consistency. Manual focus also responds smoothly, and no error codes (such as "ERR-60") were encountered during our comprehensive checks.

Included Accessories

  • Rear Lens Cap

Not Recommended For
