Moving to an RF body and wanting to bring along M lenses has never made any sense to me. None of the M lenses are what I'd call "optically excellent"

i would disagree with you here ,,the 11-22 is the sharpest APS-c UWA out of all of them all sharper than sony or fuji in fact the only other UWA lens canon has that almost as sharp is the £2500 GBP canon 11-24 F4L (when on APS-c) i have not looked at the RF uwa

The next sharpest canon UWA is the 16-35F4L which when its on a FF body will match the 11-22 !!!! the 16-35F4L is probably the lens that i will replace my 11-22 with for my R6 ..its 3 or 4 times more expensive waaaay bigger and looking at test cherts the L lens is about the same sharpness on 21MP FF as the 11-22 is on 18MP so the 11-22 may have the edge on my 24MP M5 than the 16-35L on the 20MP R6 ....the 11-22 is a VERY reluctant sale

the EF-m 22mm F2 is a little sharper than the £800 sony/Zeiss 24mm F1.8...the sony/Zeiss is described as an excellent lens

the EF-m 32mm F1.4 i believe is best in class as well

as i believe the 28 macro is as well

Sorry but the M has some MOST excellent lenses ,,, at any price

A big +1 to this. I have a number of the entry-level RF lenses for my R5 and the EF-M actually compare quite favorably!
