I use the 18-150 mm lens over 90% of the time. It is possible to make excellent A3 size prints without cropping. My other lens is the 11-22 mm, which also produces excellent results.

I have 9 lenses that I can use on my M6 II, but I rarely use any but the 2 mentioned above.

The other 7 are interesting at times, but looking back on why I purchased them, I would have to say that GAS played a big factor, rather than actual need. I purchased most of the additional lenses within 6 months of buying the camera, but if I had taken more time between purchases to really get to know the lenses I already had, I might have stopped purchasing before acquiring all of them. I don’t regret any of the purchases though, and haven’t sold any.

I will also say that my needs are modest, since I am just an average amateur “picture taker” who has never sold any photos or peeped at a pixel.

are you me? in 6 months? or am you in 6months? lol

That description of picture taker fits me as well, thanks for sharing..

What are the other 7 lens? if you don't mind sharing..

It’s always interesting to meet a kindred soul. 😁

My lenses are listed in my profile:

Of those “other” lenses, I actually do use a few others at times.  I keep the 15-45 on my backup M5, and I confess to having had a bit of fun with the Samyang 8mm on a few occasions.
