Lenses? ......That's it. Specifically, I need is a fast 28mm (FFE) lens. I shoot quite a few events as a volunteer for non profits and also enjoy shooting concerts and festivals. The non profit events always have group pictures and I want to take crowd shots at other events. I find that quite often, a 35MM (FFE) is not wide enough, usually because you cannot backup far enough due to space constraints. And not getting a good group shot is a big issue. Also, these events are typically in dimly lit venues, so the lens has to be f2.8 or better. A 28mm f2.8 (FFE) would work but fast 24mm lens (FFE) would also be viable.

Have you tried the EF-M 22 f/2? Sounds like the perfect lens for your application. I absolutely love it for group pictures in challenging light situations.

I have the 22mm f2 but it is 35mm FFE and therefore not wide enough. A 17mm version would be ideal but highly unlikely.
