Re: It’s GONE!!! No more refurbished M6ii!!!

Since I decided a few months ago to commit fully to M and no other system, I’m glad that I was able to get a 2nd M6 II body in the refurb sale.  For good measure, I got a refurb M200 as well, so I’m set to weather any upcoming drought or extinction of new M gear.

The capabilities of the M system exceed my abilities as a photographer, and even the stuff I now own was a non-trivial investment for someone like myself who is not a professional, so I’m happy for now.

To double-check on my strategy, I took another look at R.  If (big IF) I were tempted to go that way, the R6 II looks pretty attractive to me.  But (reallly big BUT) that R glass is crazy expensive!  I understand that if you are a professional photographer and make your living by producing an extremely high-quality product, you need that kind of stuff.  But I don’t, at least for now.  Some people can tell the difference between a $20 bottle of wine and a $200 bottle, but I can’t.

I expect my M gear will last a long time.  If it’s good enough today, it should be good enough tomorrow.  If and when “something happens” to change that, I can always succumb to the smartphone route, with its ever-advancing technology.

Or (perhaps a big OR), I can eventually “move up” to R if my desires, abilities, and finances allow.   I’m sure that Canon will continue making newer and better R stuff for a long time, so it’s not like one needs to buy into R with haste.
