I find this intriguing. Could be handy documenting details at work or street photography.

(Did a quick search and did not find a thread: sorry if this has been previously discussed. )

What is the intended use of this lens? Or for the entire category of such body cap lenses...

I mean there is the 22/2 pancake lens which is not that bigger if you consider the camera+lens combo.

I can see the price is $69 vs $249 for the 22/2. Okay... But you are into a interchangable lens world and obviously you've considered the cost of lenses before taking this journey.

And it's lenses first, cameras next (in my book at least).

So... where I'm getting at is that the 22/2 sits on my m6 all the time unless I know I will be shooting my kid with the sigma 56 or I have any other specific shooting scenario ahead for a different lens.

And I count on having a good shot with this little combo.

If I had an 18mm/6.3 lens on my m6 I wouldn't bother carring it at all. I'd rather use my phone.
