I've used that motto plenty of times!!
Right ok going to give an M a try!
Have been looking at wide angle lenses for the M but the purpose built wide angle looks quite pricey. A canon 10-18 and an adapter works out cheaper at the moment!
yes, the M 11-22 lens is smaller than the 18-55, and with the 55-200 M lens I now have the full set. I have sold the adaptor and other EF lenses and keeping the funds for the eagerly awaited M3

I seem to have spent a large amount of time on eBay as well looking up different lens options for my yet to purchase M!!Had a search on EBay
Both the EF-M 11-22mm and 55-200mm lenses are going for £250 - £270 each from HK suppliers. Assuming Duty and VAT, warranty issues it is IMO marginal value going that route.
I think I will stick with using my EF-S 11-22mm STM and 55-250mm STM lenses for now. Not as discrete as the 22mm and 40mm pancakes but light enough.
Now still got to deal with the niggles

Looking at both the 22mm pancake, and the 10-18mm (for use with my recently purchased adapter!).
Love the fact I can use the whole range of Canon glass, as still hoping to pick up another Canon SLR in the future!

Cheers for the recommendation. Definitely think it's worth it. Will look at placing an order tonight.All you guys who have bought one i recommend you get some body armour for it, as well as extra protection it improves the handling no end.
Got mine here £19 bargain.

Can anyone recommend a good wrist strap for the M? I like the neck strap but sometimes would like to just have it on my wrist. I do like the attachments that neck strap use as well!
Adapter arrived yesterday, have had quick play with the "nifty fifty" on the adapter, all good so far, just waiting for my 22mm to arrive over next couple of days!!
Cheers, will look into it. I used to used a Joby Sling Strap with my SLR, found it loads better than standard neck strap.Have not found a wrist strap yet myself
I do use the Black Rspid Metro sling which is very good for the M, especially with the 22mm. Hardly notice the weight
Got a new one for £24.95 off the Bay but normally £37+
does the Argos kit come with the flash? If not I have a 270ex is that compatible? Seriously considering this with the 22mm as a compact camera replacement.
I think we've all tentatively looked at this and ended up getting one to try! Can't go wrong for the price!I really shouldn't even be looking at this bu something tells me I need it to complement the 5D mkii!
