While the Canon 25/3.5 is very small and light and comparatively inexpensive, it is also a mid 50's design. At best good by today's standards. If you don't want to make the investment in the 24 aspherical, why not use a Canon FD or Nikon 24 on your M instead with scale focusing? They are sure to be much sharper than the old Canon 25/3.5. Take a look under Camera Profiles at my site www.cameraquest.com to find out how. Regards, Stephen Gandy
