What about one photo thread per EF-M lens? That should be no more than 8 new threads, if I have counted correctly.

Why?

Just for fun, actually. But I also think it will be easier to see what each lens can do, and also nice to have a thread to link to when people are asking about a specific lens.

What do you think ?

Actually, the persons who will post pictures are the ones who are actually voting.

However, there are arguments why sorting them by lens has its downsides:

- there are more lenses than just EF-m lenses. Where can i post pictures of my M50 + Zeiss Contax 85mm f/1.4?

This is the description for this forum (quote):
"Welcome to the Canon EOS M Talk Forum, the place to discuss Canon EOS M digital cameras and EF-M lenses."

Look, you can also make "Canon EOS M ditigal cameras" bold in stead of "EF-m lenses". Perhaps the best thing to make bold is only the word "and". However, you can't make pictures with only a lens, right? A camera is needed, an EOS M camera for instance.

There are other forums for other lenses. Why don't you go there and see if you can find a photo thread for your lens 😉 ?

Just because people could want to categorize it according to the camera system rather than just lenses with a certain mount from a certain brand.

Or.. You can make your own thread here. Here is an idea for a title for your thread:

"Adapted lenses on M-series cameras - Post your PHOTOS!" (feel free to copy anything you want from one of the threads I just posted.)

I was giving arguments why it is not a good idea to make more threads, and why it is better to combine in less threads.

- More emphasis on the lens performance will likely generate less interesting pictures, and therefor these threads will die sooner. The M forum would benefit the most from more emphasis on the performance of the photographer.

Whatever you ask about (or idea you present), you will always find someone who are negative,

I am not negative. I am trying to support the idea of posting pictures, and so are you. There is a difference between being negative and criticize a less fruitful way to achieve something.

at least in these forums. (There are a lot of other threads to post in, if you don't like these new ones.)

Of course. But again, more threads is a less good solution.

- the same amount of pictures for 8 threads will give less alive threads than have these pictures bundled in one thread

Beside the arguments: Actually the persons who will post pictures are the ones who are actually voting.

If your facts are different we could save the peace just by calling it copy to copy variation.
