It's a great lens. Right now, it's my most used EF-M lens. I usually have my M6II in a small bag with this lens and the 22. I take a lot of pictures of small events (colloquia, seminars, etc.) on campus (I'm in the Philosophy Department at the University of Colorado Boulder). The 56 on the M6II using e-shutter is an ideal combination. Luckily, none of the rooms where our events take place have lighting that causes problems with e-shutter. Here are a few from a couple of talks last Friday:

I'm almost always shooting it wide open. It's so sharp that I simply don't need to stop down for added sharpness.
