A couple jpegs with m10 and ef m15-45mm

I ordered the ef m 18-55mm before these shots based on reviews of it being better. Now I'm not sure I need it.

Yes. I did a comparsion recently, and it seems it´s not that bad after all. About as sharp as 18-55. Just shorter, dimmer, and plasticky. But you can´t see that from those images.

LOL, but the 15-45 is also wider, smaller, and lighter   .  Tradeoffs come with every lens.

The key is to make the most of whatever lens you have mounted, and the OP is certainly doing that.  Myself, I've found this to be a very fun and useful lens.

Absolutely. Depends on your angle of view

I had 11-22mm, which I found it to be NOT wide enaugh, and going for 8mm fish. That way 15-45mm and even 18-55 doesn´t appeal to me. I´ll keep the 15-45 in family though...

My key is not that simple. It´s mixture of good gear, good mood, good timing, good light, commitment, luck, processing and more :-).

Wow, now that's wide!!!

I have the (superb) Sigma 10mm f/2.8 fish, and I still have trouble keeping my feet out of the picture, LOL!  Love the perspective a fishie provides though.

Happy shooting!

That looks like funny challenging lens! Didn´t think about it this way. Now I´m excited!

Well, enaugh hijacking of this thread. Thank you for recommendation.

So, did Samyang bring out an 8 mm fisheye? That would be the only EF-M option at this time I suppose??

I built my own EF-M fisheye from a m4/3 lens

Yes, Samyang has now few wide angle and fish eye lenses, and some of these are for M system. I opted for 8mm f/2.8 II silver version (mostly because of price/performance ratio and price for the silver color). Cost me $255 new, shipped. I only have to wait for about one week to get it from UK to Czech Republic.

According to all reviews, its good performer. I can see myself pulling awesome partially corrected 4k shots out of this little bugger. Especially with newer body (24+Mpx sensor).

I prefer the focal length range of the 18-55mm to that of the 15-45mm as the interesting part of the range of the latter for me is included within the range of the 11-22mm zoom. That lens is a cracker. For portraits I like the 55mm focal length but I don't use the 22mm - 50mm range that often.

I do like the Samyang 8mm f/2.8mm II, the projection is very kind if you have people in the shot, much more pleasant than a rectilinear ultra-wideagle.  The lens is much the same size as the 18-55mm so it goes very well with the M series cameras.
