Welcome to the 685th Digital Photography Review newsletter.

This week we rounded out our coverage of Canon's latest entry-level mirrorless camera, the very likable EOS M100. Alongside, we put together a gallery of our favorite images from perhaps our favorite lens for the EOS-M system: the EF-M 22mm F2. You can find links to both pieces of content below. Meanwhile, we've been having fun with Leica's unique Thambar 90mm F2.2, and photographer Jeanette D. Moses has been shooting golf with the Sony a9.
