Own an R, 6D and M5 bodies, but pining for an M6II as the dedicated body for the M32/1.4 lens. Talk my out of buying one.

Sony 50mm f/2.5 G or Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S

Equivalence is fun banter on forums ?

He wanted to get talked out of the 32mm f/1.4 + M6II

In reality not ?

I think both full frame lenses are examples of what's missing in the full frame RF lens line up. Personally I wouldn't buy into a dead system anymore just for that 32mm. And I also think - except maybe for Fuji - the aps-c sensor size is sunsetting

MPB is my camera store now and they will have M cameras and lenses for a long time ?

They test them before they send them out.

Sure can not say the same about Canon.

Look, if you own that 32mm lens and you can find that M6II at a great deal it could be worth it for that lens alone. But if you're desiring a more complete system than a great 50mm (equivalent) alone I would look elsewhere.

it is interesting that I wanted, but never bought, the old EF 50 f1.2 which had fringing, and you had to stop down to f2 to be sharp.

Instead,  for about the same dollars as the EF 50 f1.2, I got an m6II body and a sharp across the frame wide open m32 f1.4
