Shoot MAC. You know the M6ii can sing with ANY lens I put on it. Even the lowly 15-45.

In fact, here’s the kit lens on the much maligned (for its AF) M5! And this wasn’t even my “good” copy.

Me, I’ll continue to use the 15-45 wherever a 24-70 equiv is appropriate. And love it.

Sing on baby!

with your old timer experience R2, you could make any camera sing

these days though, the masses want auto everything to make things sing, and not go through the old timer learning curve (panning, using spot focus, etc) --- so therefore, many will choose the case for the R3-like focus of the R10 to get them there quicker without the learning curve

Yessir, I’m all for utilizing advancing technology to its fullest. I’m no retro curmudgeon who thinks stuff like Subject Detect Autofocus is cheating . I say use this tech to greatest effect whenever possible!

I also know that the M6ii’s (old-time) Spot AF still out-performs even my R5 and R6’s Eye AF for stickiness. That’s not opinion, but hard-earned experience talking there.

I have no doubt on your R5 and R6, but I will be interested to hear how your R3-like R7 does (presumably the R10 is similar and R3-like also)

Polin says R7 challenges the Z9

Old pros like us follow the path of least resistance (ie best results). It’s the most efficient way of getting there!

As the technology progresses, and prices come down, the masses will all be pros

In my opinion, Canon is using the R-3 like AF of the R7/R10 to knock out / sunset the competition - so we need to pay attention to that and not discount it just yet to spot focus.

R7 for me is still on my Radar, please report back

Thanks for commenting, as always. Now I gotta go burn 10,000 shots at an airshow!

sounds fun, hmm, m-shutter wears out pretty quickly at 10K per session - hopefully e-shutter works
