My opportunity with the M6 is because I can get it around 200€. The price of M6 mark2 almost put me think on the Canon RP...at least on the store i went.

Also I'm collecting funds for the EF-M 11-22mm.

I can't sell the car eheheh but i understand your point. thanks

This is a good approach. You have to keep the lenses in mind and not dump all your money on a top body and then use it with a so-so kit lense.

Others on this board may disagree but this is my point of view.

I am happy with my m6. I use it for everything these days but most of all for my family and my little son in particular. I sometimes wish for a faster AF. Buying an m6ii wouldn't make a hole in my pocket... but if I get away with my current setup then why spend more money.

To give more perspective... I still have a 5d mark2 with a bag of lenses. I don't touch it these days.

Get the 11-22 and a fast prime. Either an efm32 or one of the sigmas. These small and fast primes is where the m shines.

Take care.
