Hi all.

Just got me a new M6 Mkii for my B-day last week...came from a 7D. I have been out of the photography for years, but got the bug again and finally settled on the M6 over the R due to its size.. I wanted something compact but still be able to capture nice images.

Congrats! Having both, you are quite right. The M is much more portable.

My current gear

Tamron 24-70 2.8 G1, Tamron 70-200 2,8 G1, Canon 100mm Macro

I only have to 2 EFM lens the Sigma 30mm and the Kit 15mm-45mm.

I mainly like to shoot family pics/ events..etc and Landscape. i.e vacations.

Curious to see what Lens everyone has or uses the most that you would recommend.

I'm completely open to what lens/es i should get next that has the best sharpness/image quality.

I'm keep reading about the Sigma 18-35mm, is it as good as everyone says, how is the weight on the M6? is this a must have? should i pick to the 56mm instead?

i know the answers are broad, but that's kinda where I'm at, open to my next purchase... thanks in advance for reading and for taking time to respond.

11-22 for Landscapes. Very sharp, portable.

Otherwise? Depends how you want to shoot.
