Sorry for my previous tongue-in-cheek post. I didn’t have any time to write then.

My list (M6ii body):

  • One lens only: My fine EF-M 15-45. No doubt.
  • Two lenses: 18-150 + 32mm
  • Threee lenses: 15-45, 32, 56
  • 4: Add the EF 100mm L Macro
  • 5: Add the 16
  • 6: Add the 22
  • 7: Add the 18-150 back in
  • 8: Add the Sigma EF-S 10mm Fishy (finest lens under 15mm I’ve ever used)
  • 9: Add the EF-S 55-250 + 1.5x “Larry Rexley Special”

I have to say that the EF 100-400ii +/- 1.4x iii did really well on the M6ii. The Laowa 65mm is a very fine macro lens. The EF-M 18-55 kit lens I use at work is super sharp.

I didn’t like either my EF 85 f/1.8 or the Sigma 17-55/2.8 (bad copy?). I was neutral about the 8mm Samyang/Roki fisheye, the little 28 Macro, the 40 STM and 60 Macro. Didn’t use the 11-22 much (my own fault).

Wish my RF 70-200/2.8 would fit (never owned the 55-200). And I think the 90 TS-E Macro would be fun.

Back to just one lens… maybe it would indeed be the godsend 32. Hmmm.
