BTW, I got here following a link at the end of your video discussing the discontinuation of Canon M series. Don't have one, but I did appreciate the optional strategies to consider when this occurs on whatever gear you have. For me, you're one of the most palatable CZcams creators. And for that reason, I watch a lot of your "shows"! ;)

I just picked up a second hand zoom lens, and wasn't aware of the compression factor - so it was fascinating to learn of the different effects that can be achieved by using compression. I will definitely experiment, and even try some portrait photography with it!
