Despite being slightly slower than others, I am still looking to get the 30mm Sigma but only if it is an improvement over the eos m 32mm. I don't use 85mm that often and I am more than happy with the cheap 50stm and I think the colors are better than the Sigma. Unless you have spare money lying around, not point doubling up on lenses with same focal lengths unless there is a dramatic improvement.

Keep an eye on this gentleman as he has the same concerns as you and does an excellent and honest review. This lens definitely looks great on the M6ii.

Interesting video - and he really shows off the Siggy 56 mm f/1.4. The concerns he raises are interesting - it's basically a fast 85-90 mm lens. Kind of like my trusty old 85/1.2L on full frame, but (dare I say it) a better quality of glass in many ways, absent the special character that the 85/1.2 possesses.

The 85/1.2 is an awesome portrait lens. And I rarely use it. I just don't do that type of photography. Likewise, as the guy in the video says, think hard about whether you want this lens or not. It's looking like an excellent lens, but only if you use it.
