For those of you that have the EOS-M, bigvalueinc has the EF-M 18-55mm lens on eBay for $128.68.

I bought from them before, bought the EF-M Lens Adapter Kit. Only issue I had was that they said it was new, but was actually a refurb since it came in a white box. It works fine, so I took the chance on the 18-55mm. They even refunded me $20 on the Adapter purchase.

white box can also mean it was pulled from a Canon kit. It may have been new.

Very true. The adapter works so all is good. That's why I bought the 18-55.

I received my order today in a white box w/ US warranty but it was an EF-S 18-55mm. I am working on a resolution now and will update when I hear back from them.

Oh crap! Really? Mine is on the truck, should be delivered soon. I rechecked the link and it clearly says EF-M.

I checked it several times to make sure I am not crazy. The invoice clearly shows EF-M. Hopefully it is just a simple mix up but it sure is a let down for the weekend.

I hear you. I have a shoot on Sunday that I could really use it for. I'll make sure to update this post when mine comes in.

Sending me a return shipping label in order to exchange it. It appears to be a mix up on their end. Hopefully you will have better luck.

Oh boy, that's a headache I don't need. I hate dealing with Fedex because their nearest office is 31 miles away.

Didn't know the adapter was part of any kit... ;)

Still, works great so I'm happy with it and the price I paid after rebate

Got mine today. It's the EF-M lens and it appears new, but it came just like the adapter, white box and no paperwork or warranty card. On the one hand, I'm happy with what I got for the price I paid. On the other, they shouldn't be advertising "new" for something that isn't in a retail box.

In their defense, the ad shows this as the contents of the box:

Canon EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens
Lens Cap E-52II
Lens Dust Cap EB

And that's exactly what I got.

I got screwed... I got the EF-S 18-55 instead of the EF-M version. And I have to ship the EF-S back before they can ship me the EF-M. Not too happy...
