I'm sorry, but on an M200 sized body, I can't think of any reason to run that lens. The 22mm is faster, focuses better, ought to be at least as sharp, and is much more compact. The only thing the M200 does better than other camera bodies is be small, and it does it extremely well. The 22mm pancake is what makes that body awesome.

The little 24mm that is nearly the size of a camera body cap only works with that clunky and heavy EF-M adapter that undoes its smallness.

Perhaps it would be a good fit for an M6 ii that is being run primarily with EF and EF-S lenses. But the M200 would not fit that role well as it is really too small to wield bigger glass.

If you haven't tried the EF-M 22mm pancake or the 32mm 1.4, you really should.

The ef-s 24mm on my M100 works fine. The 22mm is smaller, but that doesn't make the 24mm big. The T-stop of the 22mm is really poor. The vignetting is crazy heavy wide open. The 24mm is also better for landscapes, as there's sharpness across the frame at f/5.6.
