Really nice kit Larry. You’re prepared for just about anything! I have to ask if you’d buy the new “little” Sigma 18-50/2.8 if it was released for EF-M?
My own kit gets broken down by usage.
Fisheye fun for shooting mostly people: My Samyang EF-M 8mm Fish gets usurped by the gobsmacking Sigma EF-S 10mm f/2.8 Fishy. Hella sharp, excellent autofocus, great character. A little heavy (like the Siggy 16). I sold this lens once, but missed it so much that I had to buy another one.
UWA (recti): Sold the 11-22 due to disuse (my fault). Great lens, but I just don’t shoot scenics any more it seems.
Wide angle for events: Groups! Sigma 16 rocks this one. Sharp and fast. Especially wonderful in low light.
Workhorse: 15-45 kit lens. Took 2 tries to get a decent one. I use it a LOT.
Working lens: 18-55 kit lens. This stays glued to my M6 at work for product shots. I trust it completely. Sharp from corner to corner.
Travel and walk-about: 18-150 kit lens. Ready for about anything while on the go.
Carefree lens: Canon 22mm f/2. Tiny!! Need I say more??
Carefree macro lens: 28mm Macro. Small and light, with IS. Fun to the max!
Action: 32mm f/1.4. Crop doesn’t get any better than this. Truly.
People, and Outdoor sports: Sigma 56. I use this more than my full-frame RF 85/2.
Macro: Venus Laowa 65 (2x) Macro. Great all-purpose macro.
Kick-around telephoto: 55-250 STM + 1.5x “Larry Rexley Special” (technically not an EF-M). Gets out to 375mm without killing your arms or wallet.
I’ve used a whole bunch of EF lenses on the M6ii. Everything from the little 40 STM to the mighty 100-400ii + 1.4x iii. The M6ii loves them all!
And don’t forget DxO Photolab 5 (soon to be 6) to top everything off. Truly extends the usefulness of every lens in the bag!
