Yes, it is wonderful, be happy to have the only Canon mirrorless mount that has active 3rd party support.

I can confirm that it is a wonderful lens.

For a long time I hesitated because of the lens' size. But there are situations where this lens fits perfectly in combination with my M6. Even adapted to an M100 it is a good combination.

It is almost as great as the Sigma 56mm.

I am still hesitating to get it mainly because of its size, while enjoying its brother 56mm very much.

It was the same with me. But because of the following reasons I finally decided for it:
- there is no alternative with this FL and this large aperture,
- "its brother 56mm" has become my favourite lens,
- every purchase of an EF-M product supports the M-line,
- I could get it for a very good price (230 EUR).

Probably it is no every-day-lens, but the results are very good. And for me there are situations where it is very useful. And finally, it completes my set of f/1.4 lenses (16, 32, 56mm).

What if it was smaller and lighter, but more expensive? I would be still hesitating. As a matter of fact, a good price is one of the best specifications. Look at RF 24mm 1.8! Thankfully I am learning how to be satisfied with what I have.

Of course you can always ask "what if.....". You could argue that "a good price" is the main argument for the M.

Up to now, however, for none of my lenses the price was the "best specification". But I always tried to purchase a lens, when a price reduction was available.

I don't need R or RF-lenses. Indeed, I am also very satisfied with what I have.
And the Sigma16mm is one additional part that lets me enjoy my M6 and its results a little bit more
