Abu Mahendra your black and white pics are very nice and the treatment is perfect. As exposed in other threads I am the lucky owner of a very good 18-55 and of an excellent 15-45. I would favour ...

Excellent lens with good IS BUT.... IS is lagging. You need to wait half a second to benefit from fully engaged stabilisation. If you don't or if your subject has moved by then in one shot mode ...

There are major quality differences in the low cost M lenses. I have been very happy with a 18-55 with the M. I bought an M3 with another 18-55 as kit lens that was horrible. I sent it back to the ...

I only have M and M3 and true M is more red. Flattering, but my opinion is that M3 is more correct. All this viewed in DPP.

Very interesting info. I do use some FD oldies on the M3. And I like manual focusing because it leads you to anticipate all parameters except focusing so you think and construct your pic before ...

Do not know if you have the same feeling but there is a kind of plastic shade on my pics. :-D

Do not disregard ef m zoom 55-200. Bokeh is very nice and unless you really need to detach the subject from a very close background very wide apertures are not so much needed. Actually unless yo ...

Truly tack sharp it is. Photozone might have got a mediocre sample. I compare it favourably to the 22 and the 11-22 that are notoriously good and I have excellent samples of those. I guess the only ...

My 15-45 is tack sharp even in the corners. It compares pretty well to my 11-22. I had two copies of the 18-55, one was very good and the other a lemon. The 15-45 behaves better than the very good ...

Yes. 15 2,0 and 60 2,0 would be enough for me. 15 as pancake as possible  so 15 and 22 would require negligible volume.

I cannot comment or compare with the 18-150 but I confirm that the 55-200 optics are remarkable.

At 15 mm the left part of the pic is either out of focus or suffers from decentering. My copy is perfect from corner to corner.

I need a speedbooster not to use my EF lenses on a M3 (I have no more interesting EF lenses and I can buy a cheap FF Canon DSLR if I feel the need), but to use my fantastic FD lenses on my M3. Anyo ...
