Well, they haven't brought out an EF to EF-M adapter yet. Canon's treatment of the M in the US might have played a big role in them being nervous about the market. Hopefully things will change for the better.
That's what I thought as well. No EosM2 unless you buy on ebay from Japan and God knows if it even has an English menu ;-)). I bit off topic, but I notice you have a 40mm pancake and a 135L... two lenses I've been taking hard looks at. WHat do you think of the 40 and what do you use the 135 for mostly? I've been thinking on it for studio portraiture (headshots mainly).
The 40mm:
I have taken this lens in the streets of NYC as low-risk gear, in restaurants and events when I wanted something less conspicuous, and as a wider alternative that I can toss in my pocket when I was primarily looking to shoot tele.
Pros: compact, cheap, sharp wide open.
Cons: slow to focus so might not be best for street, the lens extends which bothers me (and my left hand usually touches the hood and sometimes restricts the movement), dislike the focus by wire.
Alas, this will probably look for a new home if I like my M+22 a lot, because all the above roles can be covered by that pair, which is also more compact than carrying a dSLR and just a tad wider.
The 135mm:
I primarily bought it as a travel tele, as the only lens longer than 70mm I have is the huge 70-200 II. So I take it everywhere, and recently have started pairing it with the 35mm. I have used it extensively in my last trip in Niagara and Boston, and I have used it for kid's outdoor sports, concerts, street photography, and head shots. As a portrait lens, it is excellent but a bit long to be very versatile. It is perfect for head shots on FF in my opinion, the perspective is just perfect at that distance. Bokeh, color and sharpness wide open all excellent. My favorite lens.
