Thought experiment to assess the value, importance, and usage of lenses on our M cameras...

If you could only own a set of 3, 6, or 9 lenses for your Canon M system, which would you choose for each set?

3 lenses:

NEVER!

6 lenses:

This would HURT!

9 lenses

I'd have to sell some to get down to 9!

Have you tried adapted lenses, e.g. FD lenses or other manual focus lenses?

LOL, I spent decades chained to manual focus lenses (and film), shooting weddings, events, people, sports, what have you. I abhor any and all manual focus lenses now!!!

Even for my macros nowadays I prefer autofocus! I just don't think I'll ever travel down that Retro path. Too much love for the cutting edge.

Would have wasted a ton of film learning how to use my 35mm f/.095 lens ?

Modern Canon manual focusing tools kinda made it easy.

I gave up asking people what the manual focus tools on the R7 are like.
