Re: Is the canon ef-m 22mm f2 best for portrait?

If you are looking for an M lens suitable for portraits, the 28mm would be a step in the right direction;  more appropriate than the 22, but still well short of an ideal portrait lens.  And, at f/3.5, not a lot of background blurring.  My copy of the 18-150 is excellent and I've used it for this purpose at around 50mm (80mm ff equivalent) but still not ideal unless the background is quite distant.

I don't have an adapter, but if I did I would use my 50mm f/1.4 for this.
