I received my pre-ordered EF-M 32mm f1.4 stm yesterday. I am very satisfied with what I have seen so far. Please note that I have not done any controlled testing at all. No tripod, and no comparisons with other lenses.
Sharpness, contrast and clarity compares to L-series lenses! Actually, and without a direct comparison, I would say it is equally sharp as the 35LII when both are shot at f1.4 (and attached to an APS-C sensor. It is absolutely great!
Sharpness seems good all the way to the edges, even at f1.4.
I have only seen the tiniest bit of chromatic aberrations at f1.4, which seemed to be gone at f3.2. To my eyes, it performs very well in this regard.
Subject separation seems very good as well! Delighted to see that!
Focus was pretty fast and very accurate with my M5.
The only downside I have seen so far is that the bokeh is a bit busy compared to what I would expect if it was a L-series lens. Bokeh balls are neither round or clean inside.
I can say, without any more testing, that the EF-M 32 mm f1.4 is a great lens.
I attach a few of the pictures from today. They are edited slightly to taste, but no sharpening have been applied. They are downsized to meed the limitations on this page.
