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.

My question to myself is would I have bought it sooner if it was smaller, lighter and f2? And I think almost certainly so. But I now have 4 f1.4 EF-M fit lenses - 16, 23mm Viltrox, 32mm Canon and 56mm Sigma - and despite the fact that I don't like the size, the 16mm is my most-used. 24mm is my most used full frame focal length, so perhaps it's no surprise - but it simply suits my low-light travel needs better than all the others. 
I will never be entirely happy with the size and weight of this lens by EF-M standards, but it'll probably stay my most-used prime for the system.
