Like you said it's the only ef-m at this zoom size. And there are many that have preferred ef lenses with adapter instead of this lens.

I am kicking myself for getting the EF-S 55-250, rather than the EF-M 55-200. Even without the adapter, it's longer, heavier, and slower. I thought the extra reach would be a plus, but I find I'm reluctant to carry it around due to the size.

To each his own. I don't find the EF-S 55-250 IS STM too big for the m6ii. I find it balances nicely, and appreciate the reach and the decent maximum apertures. I probably shoot half my photos with this lens alone and appreciate the consistent sharpness of the lens at all focal lengths across the frame, at max aperture.

Using it on the camera is no problem; it's the carrying around part.

With the arrival of warm weather and the lifting of Covid restrictions, I'm looking to get out and about with a small, lightweight kit. The 55-250's size makes me somewhat reluctant to toss it in my small bag, and if I don't have it with me, I'm not using it.
