Recent shots and thoughts

Here's a couple recent captures... My MacBook Pro is back in business.












Overall I'm quite happy with the M50 Mark II and dual lens setup. Frankly, I use the 15-45 a lot more than the 55-20; the 15-45 alone would've done the job for my purposes as a quasi point and shoot but the 55-200 is "fun" and occasionally useful.
The M6 Mark II would be nice, but, for the price and form factor? I think the M50 Mark II stays. I'm not exactly wishing I had more of something, except maybe the 4K non-cropped video of the M6 Mark II, that's probably my biggest gripe. The 1080P of the M50 Mark II is acceptable though.
I know there's folks asking if the M50 Mark II is a good upgrade for folks with the M50 Mark I. My 2 cents is the M6 Mark II is the true upgrade. The M50 Mark II is a very small upgrade over the Mark I. I would've re-buy the M50 Mark II over it in my book if I already had one, which I did in the past, I'd get the M6 Mark II.
Do keep in mind the OP (myself) has an EOS R, which I'm commonly utilizing the RF 35mm f/1.8 IS STM when I want to go low profile with punch, or, RF 28-70 F/2L when I want more. If you're trying to do something more powerful for low light on a budget, I recommend adding the 22mm or 32mm lenses and possibly going M6 Mark II. The RF platform is still much larger and more expensive.
Although off-topic, I do foresee the RF system usurping the M system. This has been beaten to death but is painfully obvious in my book. I do see systems like the M being a good point and shoot alternative though.
