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 too have been shooting with the 50 STM since it was released (and now on the M5 adapted). And while it’s miles better than the lens it replaced (of which I had 2 copies), I’d really like to see an upgraded M version that was f/1.4, stabilized, and much sharper than even the STM wide open!).

Indeed. F1.4 with IS would get my attention right away.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
