I like to stick with Canon. Really wish there were a few more native lenses like a 16 1.4.

The Sigma lenses are native, therefore you do have access to a native 16 f/1.4. Just because you refuse to acknowledge third party manufacturers, doesn't mean they don't exist. I prefer to evaluate lenses on their own merit, independent of who manufactures them.

I don't care of it's Panasonic or Olympus (or someone else) who is manufacturing my lens for m4/3. I have the Viltrox X 85 f/1.8 because it's better than the Fujinon 85 f/2. I have a Sigma zoom for my Pentax KP because the Pentax lens (16-50 f/2.8 SDM) is (comparatively) hot garbage. Blind brand allegiance is doing you, the consumer, no favours.

Yes it is most definitely true that the quality of products the independent manufacturers are producing and they way they often push the boundaries first benefits us all greatly. I am rather risk averse 're potential future incompatibility hence sticking with Canon but glad those such as yourself are supporting the independents and benefiting from their offerings.

I can second the recommendation of the Sigma 16 and 56 F1.4 lenses. I have them both. They both work flawlessly with the M6II, and they are both truly excellent lenses. The 56 is the best portrait lens I've ever owned.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
