3 Lenses
EF-M 32mm
EF-M 11-22
EF-M 18-150

Next 3
EF-M 55-200
EF-M 22mm
EF 85mm f/1.8

Next 3
EF 100mm f/2.8L macro
EF 70-200 f/4L + 1.4x III extender
EF 35mm f/2 IS -or- EF 40mm f/2.8

The first 3 lenses (all M) + 2 M6II bodies serve as my lightweight travel kit. I frequently include the 55-200 & 22mm since they fit in the bag without adding significant weight.

The EF lenses with adapter are used for different purposes - i.e. concerts, soccer, other events. Using non-M lenses does defeat the compactness of the kit but does open up a much wider range of possible lens choices - which is a good thing.

side note - the 85 f/1.8 on the M6II is a joy to use. The 70-200 f/4L on the M6II is impressive and, coupled with the 1.4x extender, becomes even more useful.
