having had two EF 50 F1.4's and three EF 50 F1.8's that sat at home because of the poor wide open performance and I eventually sold or gave away all of them

it wasn't "a small issue" ...."for me"

the 32 has solved that 20 year old issue for a great price "for me"

The 32 is an absolute marvel. I couldn’t live without it.

yep--The 32 is my small, light weight 50 FOV prime with a powerful fps and high mpxl engine with the m6II behind it. I don't see myself spending a fortune on a heavy expensive FF 50 F1.2 nor a cheap 50 f1.8 where these cheap FF primes have to be stopped down to f2.8 to get critical sharpness--I'll just use my RF24-105L instead which rocks sharpness a F4.

BTW - I'm enjoying my 32 F1.4, my 100L and my Toki 10-17 on my M6II -- lots of Fun factors with this glass and the M6II.

Yeah, I'm actually considering selling my RF 50mm f/1.8 STM and my RF 85mm f/2 STM. They are just so well covered by the M System!

I just gave away another 50 f1.8 (the EF stm) of the 5 - 50's I've given away or sold  in the last 20 years.  It took me that long to learn not to go there again

Until IBIS -- I'll hold onto my RF 85 F2 IS

though I might get the 56 -- it is just such an awesome lens as you showed us in the garden
