Re: Faster Glass ...or Image Stabilizer?

I tried a 35 mm F/2.0 IS on my EOS M and it had wonderful clarity, but even wide open it wasn't as bright as I had hoped in low light.

Since it is an EF lens (full frame) the EOS M series being APS-C doesn't really take full advantage of the light gathering capability.

Having said that I have gotten nice results with my 50 mm F/1.8 on the M, though it too is an EF lens.

My point being that sometimes I forget that the EF lenses while often awesome on a crop body in terms of clarity, may not be optimized on them because of the difference in diameter and distance to the sensor.

(admittedly I am not a techie so don't fully grasp all of the nuances of that).

I haven't tried the 32 mm f/1.4  yet....
