Clearly there is some sample variation with many of these lenses.
At 22mm, my 22mm f/2.0 was noticeably sharper than my 11-22mm
at f5.6, on tripod, I don't see a distinguishable difference
Other people clearly saw a difference. 76% of the people in the poll preferred the image from the 22mm.
seeing images from 6 years ago on an m2 is hard to correlate to Larry's m6II, PL5, e-shutter, IS handheld of today
if we go back and look at original m comparisons on tripod, the m22 has LOCA at f5.6, the 11-22 does not
a tad of sharpness is easy to increase, LOCA can be a pain

and the IS and e-shutter comes in handy with the 11-22 on m6II
3 stops of IS versus a lens that is 3 stops faster.
true, but it is a different lens for different purpose
In daylight, shutter speeds will be high enough that neither will matter.
but as soon as the sun starts going down, the IS and e-shutter play big
In low light, the brighter lens will better handle subject motion.
true, but these lenses are completely different animals for different purposes
The advantage of the 11-22mm lens is from 11-21mm.
the advantage is more than that
- scapes in lower light,
- IS and e-shutter play in low light
- 32.5 mpxl and PL5 and no loca make for remarkable combos
As for e-shutter, that works for both lenses.
true, but the 22 doesn't have the combo of e-shutter and IS
The 22mm needs e-shutter for wide open daylight shots and the 11-22mm needs it to prevent shutter shock.
different lenses for different purposes
in the scene you took I'd use the 11-22 with 32.5 mpxl m6II + IS + e-shutter + PL5 everytime
when shooting scenes, I want to be able to opt to go from 11 to 22 in a heartbeat as a test I did shows


if I go indoors, I prefer my RP + RF24-105 F4L with IS to an M6II + m22 setup
the only reason for the m22 for me is size
I would never choose it to shoot scapes
it is the equivalent of f3.2 -- an indoor lens if you don't have something else to cover the FL - as I said I prefer my RF F4L on FF to using m22 wide open on crop

My copy of the 55-200mm was lackluster, at best, and was clearly inferior to every 200mm/250mm zoom that I compared it against.
