Sounds to me the perfect setup for you would be the M6II paired with the M 18-150mm and the M 11-22mm. That gives you a lot of range with an overlap exactly where you need it for the majority of your landscape work. I'm sure you've noted the 18-150 stores easily in a small fanny pack or vest/jacket pocket if you want to be a minimalist. A small bag will accommodate the entire setup too…like an Ape Case Envoy or a Lowepro Passport Sling III.

I use that body/lens combo when I'm on foot and want to minimize bulk/weight. When I'm going to be stationary (in a wildlife blind or with a tripod or waiting for the right light), I'll lean towards a bag with the full inventory of primes in addition to the zooms and adapted lenses.

The EVF is easy to store and still have at the ready. I use it when the display gets washed out, but otherwise leave it in a pocket. Obviously, having the right kind of eyeglasses is important when using the display. After dual cataract surgeries, I've found a half-height pair of readers or progressives work well without having to constantly put on or remove the glasses.

Best to you in your quest!

Thanks!  When I rented the m6ii with the EVF, I was super paranoid about losing the parts, especially the little plastic cover for the hot shoe.  Do you find that to be a problem?

I do have trifocal progressives.  I think they call them progressives because the price keeps progressing up every year!
