No 15 - Nice bit of aerial photography 

Marco, you said you "can't get shots like these with the [EF-M] 22mm" but could you elaborate as to why? Is the 22mm just not fast enough?

I would like to buy the 32mm. I don't have an issue with the price point given the quality, but it is still a lot of money for me personally (esp at UK prices) and I'll have to save up or sell some other stuff. I've been wondering whether to forget it and just make the most of what I already have, and that means using the 22mm and then cropping if necessary on shots where 32mm would have framed the shot better. But from what you say I'd be missing out on more than just a bit of zoom reach.

Also, do you find the lack of IS on the 32mm at all troublesome (granted the 22mm doesn't have IS either but you tend to need it more as the FL gets longer)?

I love your shots, particularly of the Christmas decorations and your cat. Brilliant.
