The 16mm is still $319 on Amazon USA. Soooo tempting, but I am telling myself that I need to spend more time using the gear that I have than pursuing yet more of it.

It’s a truly excellent lens to round out your collection. Fast focusing, sharp wide open, very nice rendering. We’re so lucky here in M-Land, you almost never see an f/1.4 aperture on lenses wider than 24mm.

It’s outstanding for low-light events, group shots, family get-togethers, and environmental portraits. A special lens!

ps. It’s really hard to make a lens that is both wide and fast, so that’s why it’s the chunkiest of the EF-M’s. Still worth it tho for all the associated goodness IMHO.
