EF/EF-S/EF-M lens mount

The EF mount is the standard "electro-focus" mount for Canon SLR cameras. The EF-S mount is a modification specifically designed for cameras with APS-C sized sensors. The EF-M mount is a modification for compact (mirrorless) EOS cameras (currently only one such camera exists). 
EF lenses can be mounted on cameras with an EF-S mount, but the reverse is not possible. Both, the EF and the EF-S lens mount have the same flange focal distance (44 mm). EF-M mount cameras have a shorter flange focal distance (18 mm), but EF and EF-S lenses can be mounted with an adapter.
