Re: re: in praise of the 22

Interesting. I find the 50 STM more than sharp enough at F2, which is where I'm usually shooting it (or perhaps 2.2). I had the 40 STM before the 50 (years ago I had and sold both the 50 F1.8 USM II and the 50 F1.4) on my M, and really liked it as a companion to the 22. After I got the 50 STM, I never used the 40 again. Now I have the 32 to pair with the 22, I doubt the 50 will get much use either. The 32 is such a great lens that I will mostly prefer shooting with it a bit closer than the 50, or cropping. Everyone's preferences are different.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
