It’s amazing to think Canon’s meagre EF-M catalogue of just eight lenses features only three primes, of which just one has a bright f1.4 focal ratio. The most recent EF-M 32mm f1.4 is certainly a lovely lens and as I discovered in my Canon EF-M 32mm f1.4 review, was arguably the only native EF-M lens to exploit the potential of the EOS M format, especially the higher resolution sensor introduced on the EOS M6 II.
