If you could only have 3, 6, or 9 lenses for your M system?

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.

with all the talk about the potential of getting a bad 15-45, I never rolled the dice

if I got a good one, I like having 15 mm - but I use my 11-22 for that

and I couldn't accept potentially getting a bad one when I have the great RP + RF 24-105 F4L - which is light enough for me considering its great range and IQ

32 f1.4 is indeed the godsend along with my 100L on 32.5 mpxl with dxo PL - that was the formula for me that blocked further FF buys - the 100L on 32.5 mpxl getting 160 fov (great closeup perspectives) and hitting almost 100% of the time at 7 fps with zero shutter shock is the thing, along with my 32 f1.4 that hits wide open sharp across the frame almost every time - these two make crop compete with FF for me at a fraction of the price - and then throw in the low weight, nice IQ11-22 instead of heavier, expensive stuff for walkabout,- it will take a lot for Canon to pull me away from these lower cost, lower weight investments
