It's amazing how versatile that focal length (range) is. Sometimes I think that I could survive with the (Canon 32) alone!

Happy shooting!

Agreed. I sold both my 22 mm and nifty 50 and replaced them with this.

Wow, you really did commit to this!

Not wanting to have to switch lenses so often was a major motivating factor. The Canon version is even smaller, so it's even better if portability is the main goal.

Both are still nice and compact IMHO.

I still have the 15-45, though I pretty much only use it for the wide angle in good light now (e.g. landscapes)

The wide end is definitely the stronger end, at least on my copy. It’s still a nice versatile lens though (IME).

and will probably get either the EF-M 55-200

This one I’ve never owned, but it receives a lot of praise.

or EF-S 55-250 for telephoto eventually.

Another very nice lens.

I really love the 30 mm focal length (~50 mm equivalent with the 1.6x crop factor) for pretty much everything else, though. I also appreciate the Sigma's very nice smooth bokeh.

That’s definitely its big advantage over the Canon.

Very pretty shot! Reminds me that I should get some (non-macro) shots of our gardens (for my DW ).
