22mm + 32mm + _____

a lot of people say that the 35/85 combo (on FF) is a great if not ideal lens combo and that the 50mm (on FF) acts like a compromise between those two (not as wide and not as tight).

^this - In the old days though with 18/20 mpxl sensors imo

still, there are people who have the 35/50/85 trio in their kit

I've noticed that also - but with today's high mpxl sensors, I take a different approach

with that said, the 56/1.4 seems like a no-brainer to go with your 22 so you pretty much get the 35/85 setup on your M200 (except the 56/1.4 is equivalent to an 89.6mm).

If it were a no brainer, I would have bought one.    Op has 85 covered in FF.

if you feel/think that you still need an in-between your 22/56 combo, then spring for the 32mm

and here, for me, the higher mpxl technology changes the old technology paradigm.

that is, the 32.5 mpxl's of the m6II with the 32 f1.4 (51.2 FOV) gives me that extra cropping power -- over 18, 20, 24 mpxl's sensors) to frame looser (which for me is most often desirable, then crop in post), thus, I don't reach as often for my 85 FOV on FF

I also like my 100L with 12 inches MFD better than my 85 - and they both have IS versus the 56 has no IS and is already 89.6 FOV

With both RP and M6II, I have more portrait FOV's with prime lenses on high mpxl

32 f1.4 (51.2 FOV on M6II with lots of cropping capability)

RF 85 F2 IS (85 FOV which sits at home often times because I have the cropping power of the 51.2 FOV on 32.5 mpxl

100L with 12 inches of MFD that is 100 FOV with 4 stop IS on my 26 mpxl RP or 160 FOV on my M6II with 32.5 mpxl cropping power (which often allows me to keep my 70-200L at home - I use to use 200 mm on 20 mpxl 6d, but now I have 160 FOV on 32.5 mpxl)

so for me, 51.2 FOV, 100 FOV, 160FOV with L quality in the portrait category

I'm not one to consider 35 a portrait prime category but have the 35 f2 IS, but more often use my RF 24-105 F4L for the 35 mm FOV

all this said, the 32.5 mpxl m6II (particularly for $540 used over the holidays) was in my opinion the best accessory for the 32 f1.4 portrait, L - like - lenses first - jacket pocket application

and imo - the m200 (jacket pocket with the 32) has been replaced by the iphone 13/14 for the small jeans pocket application

YMMV
