None of the options you listed apply to me unfortunately as I am an M-owner and will/have continued to buy/expand my M-kit.

Since the announcement of R7/R10, I bought a M50m2 and a Sigma 30/f1.4. Why? Because I love the M format and I want to make sure that my M-kit lasts me as long as possible with the best bodies and glass that I can afford and are still available.

I now have m50, m50m2, 15-45, 22, 55-200 and Sigma 30 and 56 and a couple of flashguns/triggers. The 11-22 will complete my purchases. By all accounts the M should serve my needs for the next 3+ years.

Exactly. A valid reason to buy R10 could be to have that faster AF. A valid reason to buy R7 could be to have IBIS. On the other hand: you can not adapt M glass like 11-22 or Sigma 30/56 or Canon 32 on R10 or R7. And it is to be seen how much IBIS would enhance older EF-s lenses (like my EF-s 60mm Macro). And AF of M50ii

The focusing on the M50m2 is very impressive and better than the m50 - it will be put to the test in a wedding I am shooting on 18th June. The dilemma now is which camera (m50 or m50m2) will have the Sigma 56 and which one, the Sigma 30

Conclusion is clear: keep the M-gear!

I don't know the answer for the dilemma... I think 56 on m2 perhaps, because if 56, you are going for a portrait, and focus is more important?

The only reason why I don't have the Sigma 56 is because I have the Canon EF-s 60 adapted on my M50m2. The latter is a very sharp lens. I use it for general photography and little bit macro. Can you give me advice: should you add the Sigma 56 if you were me? You probably will, because you do a lot of portraits?
