I'm still waiting for a new EF-M 50mm (closer to my own perfect portrait focal length). Next up maybe???

That would be good, but it's the EF-M I'm least anxious to see. The 50 F1.8 STM on the adapter is about the same size as the new EF-M 32, and even looks a bit like a native lens. I find that it performs so well that I'm not sure that I would buy an EF-M 50, unless it was either wider, say F1.4, had IS, or both. For now, I have an adapter permanently attached to my 50 STM in my M6 bag. I really like the results I get from this lens, especially close portraits shot close to wide open.

I was at Best Buy earlier today looking at non-camera related things but happened to walk past the camera display. The 50 F/1.8 STM seemed to be saying something to me but I couldn't figure out what it was saying. Apparently it was telling me what you said here, but I couldn't understand it.

I'm also interested in the 32mm f/1.4, for the reasons Marco gave in his excellent OP. I have three M bodies and have decided they are are good enough for me.  I was curious about the R system but decided that I don't want to get back into FF (I have a 6D and two L lenses.) I am doubling down on M and will be looking to add quality M lenses.
