For zoom lovers (it seams to me for you it's about zooms), the RF 24-105mm f/4.0 is an important reason to go RF over M. If that zoom is still to big for you, that might be a sign M is more your thing.

If i where in your shoes i would just order the 18-150mm, see how you like the IQ on your current M body, and return it after testing.

If the IQ is good enough for you >> go M.

If it's not, go RF, as this 18-150mm is the best standard zoom for M, and for better IQ you'll have to go RF (or go with primes).

Thanks, I'm guess I'm leaning towards the m6ii. I do have the 18-150 and it works for me. It's that darned EVF that I need to get over.

I had the exact same reason to skip the M6mkII, and I might leave M, as for me it's clear we will have waaaaaay too long before we see that 32Mp sensor paired with an internal viewfinder, and it will most likely never happen. The other reason i'm not buying M bodies anymore: it will take waaaay too long before we see IBIS, if ever.

I'm just really surprised how close the RP with the RF 24-105 f/4-7.1

I would prefer the The RF combination as i expect that combo to give better IQ, especially at equivalent apertures.

is to the m6ii and the 18-150. And while I do love my zooms, I could totally see slapping an RF 35 on an RP and calling it a day.

That's an awesome combination. I don't like the 35mm focal length, but if you do, and you like a compact combo, this is the way to go.

Looking through my landscapes, the majority are shot from 30-35mm. I've hiked with just the 6dii and an EF 40mm and it was always just a hair too long.

For the M6mkII you have the 22mm, however, that has an equivalent max. aperture of f/4.0 or so, and it's not stabilized. It also doesn't have the half way macro feature. I expect the RF combo to have the best IQ too here, but the compactness of the M6mkII + 22mm can't be beaten of course.

EF glass = bang for my buck
