Canon needs to step up with some more primes for the m - or I'll join the chorus - the m mount will be dead

This is the double edged sword; the M is great for what it is. And, Canon is their own worst enemy. They will in all likelihood, not produce the measure of lens lineup as say Fuji. But, Sigma will For most people that'll do the job.

well, I had the original d30 for $2000. I got a sigma 70-200 f2.8 that performed great on the d30 but was hosed on the 10d

I bought a tokina 10-17 that performs great on my 7d2 but is hosed on my T7i

I test my lenses when I receive them

The issue I always worry about is the monkey wrench thrown in on 3rd party with the next iteration of camera body

Actually this is not a third party lenses problem, but a Canon camera problem. The longer i think of it, the more i am getting convinced i have to jump ship because of this most important reason. As long as your lenses are EF-s mount you can adapt, but as soon as you have them in M-mount there is a risk it will be unusable with future bodies.

I anticipate the other mfg's will start throwing in monkey wrenches on third party lenses

Canon has been the worst imo, but not to say others will do it more in the future to protect their own glass

sony wants to sell their FF but their aps-c is getting very good so how do they prevent cannibalization going forward?

a switch could cost users dearly

I'm hooked on canon colors, canon dpp, last version of LR standalone, canon 35 f2 IS, canon 100L, Canon FF 6d for $899. It will be hard for me to get away from these value propositions

That is true.

EOS R = 2150 euro.

too much imo.  R glass too expensive.  R body not mature

I have both the canon 35 f2 IS, canon 100L.....

2 of my value favorites - ever

I'll never give up on these two great lenses

A6600 + Sigma MC-11 + sigma 56mm f/1.4 = 2299 euro

A6600 is expensive for only 24 mpxl though ibis is nice

FF A7iii better sony value imo if you are going to spend this large amount

hmm, that sigma is coming out for maybe $400 on the Canon

A6400 + Sigma MC-11 + sigma 56mm f/1.4 = 1749 euro

A6400 only 24 mpxl - older tech

However, for full frame i don't have the f/2.8 zooms. The biggest advantage of full frame to me is the IQ with f/2.8 zooms. Unfortunately, although i can afford a full frame camera to use it with primes, i can't afford the zooms next to it,

for me, FF is about shooting in low light with primes.  sharp lense on crop can do everything else

while the sigma MC-11 allows me to use the sigma f/1.8 aps-c zooms on A6x00....

and the canon adapter allows your sigma zooms on the 32 mpxl m6ii.  you get canon colors, canon dpp, and maybe soon a $400 sigma 56.

I'd

1) wait for the sigma 56 canon launch

2) wait for black friday, cyber thurs deals

3) watch the canon refurb site for m6ii refurbs

4) only buy from a place with a return policy;

5) thoroughly test out your sigmas for focus and fringing once you get the m6ii

not having dpp and not having canon colors and bad sony menus and older 24 mpxl tech give me pause on the sony, though the ibis would be nice for primes

what you have to watch out for though with the higher 32 mpxl  is compatability with your sigmas including does the fringing increase and ability to correct in post and the focus.  Need to thoroughly test before keeping and have a return policy

my opinion - your sharp sigma zooms will hopefully function well enough in low light for noise and with the -5EVF working range may rock in low light with the m6ii

you may actually have a canon system that does it all with just the m6ii - I'd certainly like to see how my 100L and 35 IS perform

good luck
