Just bear in mind that you really should save for at least another lens or two afterwards to get the most out of the camera.
Yes I do plan to do that, and I've seen lots of good recommendations of lenses here. I just wanted to understand a good starting point for my initial upfront cost. I've got kids so don't have loads of disposable income but could buy an additional lens or two over the following 6-12 months.
Yessir. An excellent plan. And I guarantee you’ll want to explore much more with it!
I'm not seeing the 18-150mm lens kit anywhere in the UK. One option I'm looking at is body only for around £730 and the 18-150mm lens separately for £390 (both with offers I can see). That takes me to £1120. I could then look at getting the EVF separately as a stretch, maybe as used to save a bit. How does that sound?
You could certainly start with the M6ii + 18-150 which would give you my favorite travel lens!
I actually prefer to shoot without an EVF, but it’s a personal preference thing. The M6ii is so responsive that you might feel totally comfortable without it.
I've seen the R10 is also available with a 18-150mm lens for £1249, but not seen any full review of that camera to help me decide vs M6 II. R10 looks a bit bulkier too.
Yeah the R10 is definitely chunkier, and IMO there’s a lot to like about the M6ii vs the R10 (not the least of which is lens selection ).
Good luck with your decision. Holler back with any questions!
