Hi, I recently got my M10 and 22mm 2.0 but I have been quite disappointed with the amount of bokeh that I get when I am taking portraits. So I have been looking into some other lenses that may give better results and after extensive searching online, it seems like either 50mm 1.8 or 1.4 is a reasonable option for me. But seeing that 50mm 1.8 is only 0.2 different from my 22mm in terms of focal length, I was wondering if this would still make a whole difference in terms of bokeh.. or would 50mm 1.4 be a wiser choice for me?

Thanks!

try the 50mm 1.8 STM - it's better bokeh that 22mm but longer focal lengths - 85, 100, 135, etc will be better
