M50 ii auto focus, is it any good?
1

Been with the M series since the original M and have put up with some pretty awful auto focus.  The M2 was still bad, and the M5 was getting okay, but now that I have the M6 ii I finally have a camera that focuses like it should.

So last December the M5 got a little taste of the Pacific Ocean and decided to finally take its retirement.  That's left me without a backup body, and a family member wants me to shoot his wedding in a couple of weeks.  We don't need to talk about the M or M2, which are barely working at all at this point.

So I'm in the market for a second body, and looking seriously at the M50 ii.  It looks like the sensor is the same class as the recently departed M5, which is sure to feel like a step backwards form the fantastic 32 MP the M6ii has.   I can live with that, but I don't have room for a camera with weak auto focus anymore.  Nothing I can find really addresses the auto focus of the M50 ii and how it compares to other modern ones.

Anyone have any insights worth sharing?
