Covering a vast range equivalent to 28.8-240mm is Canon's latest mirrorless lens offering, the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM, which is available in graphite and silver. Designed to be relatively compact, the 18-150mm is a great option for the EOS M5, especially due to an Optical Image Stabilizer that can work in tandem with the camera's Digital IS system for incredible effective correction and more stable panning. The lens also offers an STM stepping AF motor that can be used in stills or video. An optional EW-60F Lens Hood can help block stray light from entering the lens.

Being released alongside the mirrorless offerings is the full-frame EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM Lens for DSLRs, which in a first for Canon, features a digital Lens Information Display that shows off focus distance, current focal length, and Image Stabilizer amount. It offers an excellent telephoto range, which, when used on APS-C bodies, has a 35mm equivalent focal-length range of 112-480mm. The lens has received numerous improvements to performance and speed with the addition of NANO USM technology for both fast focusing in stills and smooth, silent focusing when shooting video. The Image Stabilizer is also rated for up to 4 stops of compensation. Improving optical performance is the inclusion of an Ultra-Low Dispersion element to minimize chromatic aberrations while a nine-blade aperture diaphragm will help create smooth bokeh. An optional ET-74B Lens Hood will be available to help reduce flare and ghosting.
