Excellent post on the M6II and the often under-rated M50.

Now ,if only Canon produces an M50II (M6II + built-in EVF) and a "party-lens" (according to RLight) EF-M 15-65 f/2.8 or f/4 would that not be mirrorless perfection!

Well they've got two patented options... EF-M 15-45 f/1.8-3.5 or EF-M 15-75 f/2-5.6 which I presume both meet the 55mm filter option and relatively lightweight, compact criteria.

nope.

the 15-75 was most likely a powershot design

a) it's back focus is way too tight for an M - around 6mm

b) it requires too much stretching at the wide angle.

the 15-45 is possible though as the backfocus is a little more realistic and there's no dramatic wide angle stretching happening, however, there is a high degree of distortion with that lens so who knows if Canon would actually make it.
