@phazelag, best option = 28mm f/3.5 MACRO STM (lead-type)

That was great! Thank you. The baby was funny. Is there fast prime lens you would suggest for the M? Will using an adapter slow the performance?

I may just stick to using my M3 with the 11-22 and use another body for other lenses. I don't need the macro lens so the 11-22 is really the only lens I find useful in the M line.
I think the if the 22mm f2 was faster at AF it would be a wonderful compact option. I tested it again last night reading these and it is slower than I recall in moderate to low light which for me is the purpose of a fast lens.

Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 MACRO has the fast Lead-Type STM.  This is your only other prime options.  Sad, but after 6 years, EF-M have just 2 primes
