Event with M6II + 100L + 7 fps + spot focus = never missed a candid shot
I'm simply in awe of this combo - shot candids all day with it, and > 99% keepers in over 1000 shots = incredible event portrait combo!
Big congrats man! Ol' Reliable M6ii there!
Great stuff! Enjoy!

Thx R2, it was good to get home and see the m6II + 100L incredible AF spot reliability
Yeah, coming from so many years of (suffering from) various DSLRs’ twitchy autofocus, these kinds of keeper rates are simply astounding.
instead of using my 6d + 70-200 L, and only 20 mpxl, the cropping power of my m6II 32.5 mpxl and 160 fov 100L was lighter, quicker, and did the candid job better and saved my back all day long
So much flexibility there, and in such a manageable package!
those ~1000 m6II 7 fps bursts were more reliable shot to shot than my 7d2
Right-o. 7 fps is my favorite shooting speed too. About all I kept my 7D2 for after getting the M6ii was BIFs (because of the optical viewfinder). Otherwise the M6ii outshot it for everything else.
m6II with spot focus is the most reliable AF I've ever had
Same story here. Even with my (very) substantial investment in RF, the M6ii’s Spot AF still stands toe to toe.
thanks for your setup advise and experiences
Right back at you my friend. And I have to thank you and everyone else on the Forum for continually posting projects and photoshoots to keep me (and everyone else here) interested, and growing. It’s one h#ll of a community.
they realized gave us too much
Canon did at that. They put the best that they had into their Swan Song. Lucky us we get to keep on shooting with these beauties for as long as we want!
Vive Le’M!
