Yes it is your Post of this lens, that decided to buy the M 50, this lens instead of the Sony 6400. for all it costed now, I only would have the Sony with kit lens. I hope to have the camera on Wednesday and do some comparaisons, with my old gear, with your settings.....

Keep your shutter speed at 1/80 or higher for most shooting with this lens. If you are standing still, you can certainly shoot at lower speeds although it's such a bright lens that you'll seldom need to do this.

Remember to select a Picture Style before you start using the new M cameras for JPEG shooting. If you don't select a Picture Style in the Menu, your images will not be sharp or vibrant unless Canon has changed the settings before release. I know that the M5 and M6 required this so the M50 is presumably the same.

If I was already a Sony user, I'd have bought the Sony equivalent of this lens. But the performance of the Canon 32mm exceeds the Sony in sharpness and with aberrations.

I think you are right, however, i can't find anywhere a direct comparison. All reviewers can say is:

- if you have a M camera, the ef-m 32mm is a very good choice

- if you have a Sony aps-c camera, the sigma 30mm is a very good choice

This isn't helpful at all for those who choose a system not only for the camera, but also for the lenses, which in my opinion is a better approach choosing a system.

I spent the weekend using mine alongside a Full Frame camera (fitted with a wider 24mm f/1.4L lens) and the results were very appealing from both using similar lenses. The shots from each camera complimented each other.
.
Enjoy your new gear when it arrives. Would love to hear what your opinions are after using it. Even if you're an experienced photographer, you should be impressed with the lens and the M50s abilities together.

If your facts are different we could save the peace just by calling it copy to copy variation.
