Rivals the best!

I have down-sized from full-frame DSLRs with L glass to an M50 with the kit lenses and this 32mm f/1.4. Naturally the kits lenses, although quite good, left me wanting more especially in low light situations and AF speed. Whereas the 15-45mm will take some time in low light, almost always emitting the AF assist light, this lens almost never requires the assist beam, unless it's just super dark. AF speed is seriously close to the pro lenses I had before, it just locks on almost instantaneously! It even has a focus limiter, so won't waste time trying to focus the entire focal length!
This new 32mm lens really delivers the goods! It is on a different level than the other M series lenses. It is small, but has a nice weight to it. The focus ring is really nicely damped, not flimsy at all. It is super sharp, focuses very quick, and has great colors, right out of camera. Simply a fantastic FAST prime for the M series cameras!

Flexible single lens solution/Great image quality

This lens has very good IQ straight from f/1.4 where the center is excellent and the corners are good very good (in absolute terms)! @ f/5.6 it is a near perfect lens from center to corner on a 24 MPix sensor of M50.
I also like contrast and colors of the lens + overall "texture reproduction" which is very natural.
In contralight you have some flares - but they are asymmetrical: Put the sun closer to the border and the flare is outside the image, a great property of that lens! Sunstars are nice and natural @ f/11.
What I really like is that it has a 1:4 max. reproduction ratio which means that you can reproduce a ~ 60 x 90 mm sized object and f/1.4 is still absolutely usable (just the DOF is tiny) and closeups are crisp, contrasty.
AF is fast and decisive except you have very close objects plus very far objects. The focus switch helps if you do not want to be disturbed by closer objects: Canon has built in the countermeasure!
Bottom line: M50 + EF-M 32 is a great package if I just want to have a single high quality photographic tool with me to be prepared for a lot of situations from low light to close up. EF-M 22 was to wide for my taste and EF-M 18-55 doesn't provide wide enough apertures - EF-M 32 more than substitutes both for me!

Exceeded expectations!

I got this lens after a week with the kit lenses left me wanting something more. The bokeh on this lense is insane! From the first picture out of the bow I was amazed! It took a little getting used to such a wide open aperture at first but I was able to adapt quickly. With a max aperture of f16, this lens with the M50 does struggle to keep midday light under control. I had my shutter setting to 1/4000 100 iso and f16 and still was getting over exposed images. Now that could be due to my lack of experience as well. It is a great low light lens and I think the attached images will speak for themselves.

Best quality among my 4 M series lenses.

The quality of the lens and the pictures it takes is worth the investment. I haven't had good sunlight since getting the lens but have been taking nice indoor pics with external Speedlite. It is a fun toy to experiment with.

Great lens for taking pictures and getting that nice looking bokeh in your pictures. I'm wanting to take more pictures in the dark and portrait pictures with this camera.
