Rokinon's lenses look L lenses for EF-M because of their image quality and red ring. They are indeed blessings for M users who are thirsting for fast native primes. Moreover, M5 pleases its users with its abilities regarding MF assist.

However, EF-M lenses such as 22/2 and 11-22 IS are more compelling. They are blessings to M users. Without them, I would not have entered EOS M system.

and

Canon 50/1.8 vs Samyang 50/1.2

IMHO, 22, 11-22, 50/1.8 are must-have lenses for M system. They are small and wonderful. And then Samyang/Rokinon 12/2, 21/1.4, and 50/1.2 can be added to these default lenses for fast aperture, but not for substitution.

One more thing. as for standard focal length, we have Samyang 35/1.2, Mitakon 35/0.95 mk2, Canon EFM 28/2.8 Macro, EF 35/2 IS, and others. I have not decided yet. How about you?
