Talked to B&H; RMA issued…

I haven’t decided if I like silver though. If I do another, black? Haven’t decided if I’m doing another. I’ll type my thoughts about lenses and the M6II later. Tl;dr is lenses like the 15-45 and 55-200 don’t pair as well as the 18-150 does on the M6II. They pair better on the M50 II in terms of handling. The M6II blows the M50 II out of the water though.

Choices…

May be this helps to make your choice!?

I have just finished a trial period with RP and RF 24-240mm.
On paper not much bigger nor heavier than M system, but not so when tested in field (hiking).

Because of bulk, weight and handling issues, I went back to M and 18-150mm as my standard zoom and Sony RX 10 iv for wildlife and general travel.
My 18-150 copy was tested (by myself) as very good, perhaps the best superzoom I have used since 2003. Better than 18-55 and Tamron EF-M 18-200mm tested parallel.
