Default Fun new camera lens...

Oh boy...the slippery slope!
For a couple of years I read all the reviews on various mirrorless cameras because I wanted to avoid getting back into a somewhat heavy bulky DSLR with it's large camera bag and various lenses. I couldn't find anything less than the price of a half decent pro-sumer model like my Nikon D5200. Then I started reading about how good some of the lenses were for the price...such as the 35mm and the 55-200 telephoto. Now I'm back to where I was in the good 'ole film camera days. Sometimes I don't even bother to drag it all along...I just take my Canon G10 compact camera.
The 35mm is equivalent to the 50mm I. The film days and the reviewers say the speed and sharpness of the lens offsets the need to zoom in or out by using your feet rather than a zoom button.
Good luck.
