Its purely from lens distortion. Keep in mind I shot very close up at a weird angle. At normal people distances, distortion isn't bad at all.

Here it is again with Lightroom auto lens profile enabled. Minimal distortion fix but it does seem to aggressively fill in vignetting. This one is at F2.8 instead of F8 with just +10 contrast and +10 clarity.

And oh, yes, the hydrant appears to be off the ground.

I might add a few once mine (hopefully) comes in from the firesale (thanks Fred for the B&H link).

I mean, I'm giving it to my inlaws for a newborn / anniversary gift, but of course I'll have to test it first here before sending it out

I think the dog picture in the first page is a great example of why tilt screen would come in handy. I cut off the dog's paws by accident.

I couldn't see the screen since I had the camera nearly on the ground and so couldn't frame accurately. :/

I may get a flipbac for this.

The camera is addictive but the blackout pause between each shot is maddening!

FlyPenFly,

How do you like the drawing style of the 22? My kit's supposed to be here Wednesday.

Thanks
Dave

This 22mm lens looks really good. It's hard to believe it's an f/2 pancake.

It reminds me a lot of the Panasonic 20mm F1.7 in some ways but more saturated and with better bokeh. It's very sharp wide open and has a bit more micro-contrast especially when used with close focus. The focus speed is a smidgen faster than the noisy Panny 20mm but the micro contrast just seems better. Global contrast is a bit more subtle. It also has much less CA.

The saturation might just be the Canon wedding photographer look the cameras are setup for by default even in RAW. I've overeacted a bit to this look by toning down my saturation quite a bit in my post as you can see above.

Overall the lens is a winner in my book. What I am finding hyper annoying though is the shot to shot black out screen. Hopefully this is a setting or something I can overcome. My MFT and NEX cameras just have a very short small blink but this thing blacks out noticeably annoyingly.

Caveat that I'm not sure if this should be in Alt gear or Canon forum. I thought I'd post it here since it is mirror-less, a new mount, and can be adapted easily. Just thought I would get this started with my EOS-M.

Nice pics! I'm liking my EOS M too!

I started a post your EOS M photos on the Canon mount forum "Canon-mount SLRs
For discussions on Canon-mount compatible gear"

And Fred then posted the price reduction on that forum too. Nice to see it getting some positive remarks from those who actually own the camera on any forum

I played with it yesterday for a bit. Very nice for $300. Still, the lack of tilt screen is killing me.

Fist is ISO 200 f3.2 1/40 handheld, so might not be the sharpest example.

Yeah, I've been thinking of ordering a flip bac but want to make sure it fits...

I've been debating if this setup is worth it over the E-PL5 (already own) + Olympus 17mm F1.8. The DoF and size difference isn't huge and the Olympus has a better sensor along with IBIS and a flip screen as well as the best flip EVF capability. The AF will also be much faster and there's no infuriating black out period between shots.

Then again, the micro contrast on this lens is quite nice.

As detailed in a past posting ad Nex&M, the inability to totally switch off the touch screen is a major flaw.

Just by inadvertently touching the wrong spot , the focus point moves. When using manual optics this is not relevant, but other controls can also be involuntarily triggered. Most annoying.

No serious problems using it with the CV 15mm, the kitzoom is fairly compact and works well enough, but the Summicron 50\2 is both smaller and faster. Lack of in- body stabilization makes it less desirable for indoor snaps compared with Olympus + 0,95.

With longer full frame glass, the size advantage disappears and body stabilization is less important. If the touch screen "switch" is enabled in firmware, it could prove useful as a pocket camera for travelling.

I literally can't believe how inexpensive this lens is. This is one of the best 35mm equivalent lenses I've shot with and I used to own the Roki 35 F1.4 and Zeiss ZF2 35 F2.
