Not that this setup is bad but think the kit lens of 15-45mm or the 11-22mm would serve this body better than the 17-40L.

- The 15-45mm/11-22mm has IS which would give it extra stops of hand holding ability than the 17-40L. The kit lens even cover a more useful focal range.

- 11-22mm will give you actual ultra wide angle FOV on APSC - which was what 17-40L was meant to do on full frame.

- Better body to lens weight ratio, removing the need for the smallrig and make your whole setup more compact.

- IQ of 17-40 isn’t exceptionally better than the lens mentioned. 15-45mm has come copy variation but 11-22mm seems to be very good or even exceed 17-40mm in its intended usage (UWA).

I agree. I own the 17-40 as well as the 11-22. I don't own the m100 but do own the M1, M3, M5 and M6II and would rather have the 11-22 on any of them than the 17-40. I have a good copy of the 17-40 but it with the adaptor to me is just a front heavy thing and the 11-22 is a damn good lens.
