I was considering rebuying the 22mm for my M100. My first copy broke, is the lens a delicate flower like my thrice broken 50mm F1.4? I don't even remember tapping the front but a small dent tells me I or my kids did. Maybe spending "the big bucks" for the 28mm or 32mm would be better if a M6 Mk II is in my future?

My first outing with the 22mm, I dropped it on a rock. My quick handed son caught it on the first bounce before it went over a cliff. I've had no problems with it since.

For the LOVE OF GOD! Somebody better tell all those DSLR users that are using pre-2008 lenses that their lenses aren't "ideal" for their 2016 cameras. (EDIT: or thatn their Post 2004 lenses are no good on their 2015+ cameras)

It may not be ideal, but I think my mom's 1980s era Canon FD 50mm macro is the sharpest lens I own.  LOL.

PHYSICS dictates the relationship between lenses and sensor resolution. PHYSICISTS have stated in recent years that if we want to continue to get higher resolution from our sensors, then we HAVE to increase lens-size with LARGER optics. We've reached the limitations of our technology so now everything is a compromise.

As I said a few weeks ago, there's no DPAF applied to the video. Not just in 4K but (according to this video) in the 1080p mode as well.
.
The 22mm f/2 prime is a very sharp lens. It's also a very bright lens. But pixel peepers are challenging this with the M6 II. The video is full of assumptions. They don't make a straight forward statement either but surmise that the resolution of the higher density sensor will exceed the resolution of the lens. If people want to take this to heart, they'll never be able to move forward with their photography.
.
Again, for those who missed in the last time: The M6 II is not a fully rounded new camera. It's just a "tweaked" version of the M6. Buy it if you need it. Don't buy it if you don't . But those EF-M lenses will work on it just fine. Feel free to try and prove me wrong if you disagree.

I'd like to see some actual tests that compare the 11-22, 18-150, and the 22mm on the old sensor and the new to see the differences in detail. It seems like the m6ii has advantages (and disadvantages, like price) over older m models besides higher resolution. I'd just like to see what the higher resolution looks like with lens I use.
