At that price it’s tempting just on principle!

Exactly... I did bite on this deal, for a few reasons:

- 1.6x cropped 4k video is optimal for planetary astro stacking - even with it I'll still need the Kenko 1.5x TC on nights with good 'seeing' on my f15 telescope

- to play the EF-M 15-45 copy 'lottery' again.... 4th time's a charm? Hoping to get a copy as good as RLight's

- Need a third body good for tripod-mounted video for shooting trains

I'd like to use 2 cameras shooting video on tripods of trains (m6ii and M200), plus a 3rd hand-held (m6ii) for high-quality stills. The M200 would work great with Roki 8mm or 12mm lens for 4k video. No need for external mic as I can pull sound from the M6ii.

First world problems!

Example of how I shoot trains with 2 M bodies:

I am very very envious!
