+1 for the value and fun of the M50. With the 18-150 it is a system in one lens.

in a year of hobby use I’ve customized which buttons do what and completely changed how I use it, now rarely digging into menus

it is more like FF film in use than digital rebel. I’m an EVF convert. Never Again will I shoot clouds with a black and white filter setting on digital rebel and forget to change for colorful wildlife or flowers.
18-150 M and 70-300 adapted cover a lot I note focal length on shots with adapted 10-18, I’ve always thought 24FF was very wide and 20FF was fun to borrow , 10-12 range little used so I keep mulling wider than 18 lens options vs 10-18 bulk

A few old manual focus lenses fast primes from slightly wide to medium tele macro work well too adapted, and allow messing with extension tubes old 1.5x TC and reversing ring etc

I hope canon does either: bigger EVF even if higher cost accessory to existing M6ii, which would help manual focus uses; or release the rumored 100-300 EF-M (even better if 55 filter). If the latter I’d “go native” and save bulk vs adapted EF getting a 2nd M50 and building towards a 3 zoom outfit with 11-22 and 18-150 too.

with inflation the m50 costs less than old FD mount basic TX, let alone Ftb, and it is a lot of fun to use!
