I jumped for an M6 ii. looks like chrome sold out since weekend so black will do fine

It will join 30-month old M50 and an 18-150 plus three adapted EF-S from 10mm to 250mm, and some old film era lenses. That’s a remarkable kit that doesn’t feel like it fully grew in cost with inflation since I was first looking at a 24mm or 200mm for film use 40 years ago - photo quality responsibility will be on my technique not on the kit

I picked the M6ii over an M50ii mainly for focus bracketing ability, less so for compact camera and larger sensor size I’ve read great posts here about using focus bracketing with the 18-150 and the 100L macro and using dpp helicon affinity or other software to complete a stack

what other lenses work? I’ll try my EF-S 35/2.8 macro and find out Is this possible with the 55-250? Are there tips or tricks for use with other adapted EF or EF-S lenses? Thanks all

Congratulations on the M6ii, it's a great camera, for refined features it has more to offer than the M50ii.

There is a huge repository of information about using various lenses with the M system in general, and the m6ii in particular, so it is worth searching the forum. Unfortunately the dpreview forums are more of a 'chat format' and not an organized repository of information you can easily reference, so much of the best threads are lost to the annals of history after a time.

The EF-S 55-250 is a great lens to use with the m6ii, it's quite sharp and there are even some teleconverters that work with it, and you can get a replacement rear mount that will allow it to use 3rd party EF-mount teleconverters (but not the Canon ones whose optics stick out in front).
