Thanks for a very thorough write-up.
One thing I certainly find odd is your opinion on the fully articulating screen. I personally find the tilting screen of the m6 is the way to go for my use cases. That being child/people photography.
That is exactly the use case where I hate a standard tilt screen. They are utterly worthless when shooting in portrait orientation.
I find it way faster and easier to adjust the tilting screen than the fully articulating screen.
While the fully articulating screen is slow to deploy, I would usually just leave it flipped out and then could easily switch between landscape and portrait orientation. However, my favorite, and the fastest option, is the dual axis tilt used on some Fuji, Panasonic, and Nikon bodies.
I guess we are all different
Exactly. The tilting screen is the 2nd reason I have not bought the M6ii - the first is the missing EVF. The articulating screen is a godsend for me.....
sounds like m50II is in your future vs m6II
RLight finally has a light carry that is worthy to start. His photos to start look good from this new tool. Even that 15-45 looks pretty good on this camera with EFCS.
now he should get the portrait primes in the portrait sweet spots since this is a theme of much of his shooting with the light carry
he needs to get the 32, 56 -- the portrait combo -- in the portrait sweet spots -- for the portrait theme of his 70% shooting
I think I convinced him to take action on his 70 % light carry shooting with the M50II versus 30% R and 28-70 shooting. Now the 70% shooting needs to use the right lenses for the theme that he is shooting - the 32 and 56 which are in the portrait sweet spot range and have the dreamy bokeh
heck, if I were him, I'd sell the R and 28-70 and go all in with the light carry, even getting a second body. The 32 and 56, with two bodies, combined with dxo, PL4, comes close to his FF but a lot lighter. just my 2 cents
I shoot in landscape orientation 99.9% of the time. I find the tilting screen so much faster and easier to extend and fold back even with one hand.
I might have a different opinion if I did commercial photography.
