An good alternative is the EF-M 28mm F 3.5.

A sharp lens (probably the best in the EF-M line), good for portrait and macro as a bonus.

I believe the 28mm f3.5 is a macro lens.  You may decide to go 3rd party. I think there is a Sigma 30 f1.4 DCDN.  it's a fast lens and very sharp. It should equal to around 48mm in 35FF.
