Thanks Marco, another great post. I'm loving the 32 1.4 also. You posted some great examples of using the lens.

I also went on a little tour using the new lens and also observed a few people shooting with full size DLSR. I'm not sure we will get much respect shooting with such a small looking camera. I just keep thinking, this is so nice, they don't know what their missing,

My 7D II with using the 35L 1.4 II is a great combo and takes amazing pictures but is it worth having to carry around that much weight?

So far the 32 has performed well, I also have not had time to really test/compare between my to setups. My initial thoughts are on the same line as yours, the only thing I'm really seeing is maybe the lens does produce as much contrast/punch as my 35L. I plan on doing some side by side comparisons soon.

Thanks Casey. I've just posted some originals in this thread but you probably don't need to look at those since you already have the lens yourself. Something that interests me is the comparisons between other M-lenses for the EF-M mount and what the differences are with focal length.  I think we're all spoiled with the ultra-wide 11-22mm lens but I can appreciate how much of the scene it can capture.

11-22mm f/4-5.6 lens - can't remember if a CPL was used - but I think not.

EF-M 22mm f/2 lens - no CPL used

EF-M 32mm f/1.4 lens - no CPL used - so sharp and smooth... but what a loss of the scene!

I had photographed a moon rock with both the 22mm lens and the 32mm lens pressed up against the protective acrylic case that surrounded the crystal pyramid with an Apollo lunar sample inside of it... which was about half the size of a golf ball.... and the results were surprisingly different, even though they were both taken at similar times of the day yet from slightly different angles...  The 32mm lens was able to produce the best museum interior shots of all my EF-M lenses.  For those moving to the M platform, they'd certainly get a kick out of using this lens.   Yes, there's a loss of the wider aspect with this lens but it's also not so narrow that you can't use it for scenery.
