The AF isn't still the same at low light, so this is something to consider. Possible if I will keep the 15-45 and buy a sigma 56 and sell the 17-70 or keep it until the release of a fast one.

I also got the M15-45 and in my preliminary test it didn't felt to bad, with enough sharpness for my needs, bit this really needs more use to find out if it will serve me.

Big congrats on the new camera!

If you’re having difficulty focusing in low light (IME the biggest difference between the M6 and M6ii), then use One Shot AF (instead of Servo) in those cases, if you haven’t tried that already.

Happy shooting!

ps. Check the kit lens for decentering (the most prevalent copy variation).
