Re: In praise of the 22

A guy I know had buyer's remorse when he bought the original M.  I grabbed it for $190.  It came with the 22, the Canon adapter, and the 90 Ex flash unit.  I quickly understood his frustration with the AF, but I'd been shooting with the GX1 so it wasn't a shock.

But I love the 35 mm equivalent focal length.  It is so versatile. The f2 works indoors, decent bokeh when shooting street, and just wide enough for a landscape shot.

I was ready to go back to a DSLR (all the rest of my lenses are EF or EF-S) but ended up buying the M50.

I'm buying picture frames for an exhibit but when that's done I'm thinking of adding the 32.  Coupled with the 22 and 50 1.8 that would a great trio for low light and travel.

Hope to see more of your shots with this lens.
