Hard to dislike the 32mm f/1.4 lens (PICS)...

That's convenient that the cupholder holds your lens hood.

It sits firmly in place with that lens hood. There's not rattle or movement and it's easy to reach from any position in the car. Here's another pic of it without my hand in the way.

Here it is parked.

That might come in handy in the next Sydney heatwave. You could catch fountain water in the lens hood and drink from it.

I might be going into the Desert with it later in the year. Catching water would be more effective with the designated lens hood. That original lens hood is so huge you could use it on Free Slurpee® Day at the local 7-Eleven store.

Also, seems plenty of sharpness there for the upcoming 32.5MP sensor.

I don't know that Canon would want to use a 32MP sensor on the EOS M cameras - and the only rumor of one is from CR who not only rated the Rumor as 'CR1', but they underscored the reveal with the words "I cannot confirm this information, so please take it with a grain of salt. It is rated [CR1]." . The system will suffer if they do. Larger sensor wells are the way to go if they want more Dynamic Range coupled with better lowlight performance. The Megapixel Wars ended in the mid 2000s when the public gradually caught on that More megapixels is actually not beneficial.

I wouldn't mind seeing Canon produce an APS-D (Advanced Photo System type-D) sensor with a slightly larger surface area and larger light-wells.  But cramming 32+PM into an APS-C sensor certainly isn't the answer... and it would also out of step with Canon's past behavior.  But the future of Canon's sensors will be in the form of a curved sensor and a complete lens redesign with yet another mount design.  It won't likely be launched in the immediate future.
