    Great shots Dave and John! Jayson, I was wondering what you didn't like about the EF-M 18-55? I saw your comment after I placed my order. I went with the 18-55/flash kit as I figured that will fit my use the best (general purpose when I don't want to have my dSLR for both size, weight and safety reasons). But I see on ebay some gray market 22 mm lenses for $113 from China and am tempted. BTW, after reviewing every table I can find, including Bryan's, I am shocked at the quality of these two lenses. They seem to be uber sharp, especially for the price. Mine arrives tomorrow. Should be fun to play with over the weekend.

    I agree that the lens does perform really well and that isn't the part that I didn't like. I have gotten use to having a constant f/2.8 on my wider zooms and having to adjust for the difference in stops of light lost, I just am not use to. I was also thinking it would be smaller. I might as well keep my Tamron on it given the difference in size and the light loss that I am adjusting for. I guess I am just sour I missed the 22mm sale with the M. (that's another story for the Adorama Used department thread). I would have saved money and had the perfect walk around camera.

    For those interested, I purchased the adapter from Fotodiox on Amazon. I have been using it with all of my lenses and it works fine. AF maintained on all lenses.
