I don't plan to buy a new camera now. Or tomorrow.

If you did, the M6 Mark II is simply spectacular.

and you've shown these many times with your sports pics

To tell you the truth, I do enjoy shooting with my little M6ii waaay more than with any of the high-caliber stuff I own. If I’m shooting for myself, I pick the M6ii whenever I can!

Chris at DPReview rated the m6II with available lenses his top pick for a used camera value setup

And WE (on this Forum) also know how darn capable it really is!

one should evaluate imo - selling everything and starting again with m6II + 32 + 11-22 + 56 + dxo pl6

One could not speak truer words!

if I were starting new, without gear, I think I might go all in and get the following in the listed respective order:

m6II + 32 + DXO PL + 16  + 56 - with these f1.4 lenses and dxo I can usually get enough light

then I'd add 11-22 + 100L + I'd work on triggering off camera strobes with the pop up flash

then I'd get a second m6II

then I'd add 55-250 stm  + FE + 28 + 22

that said, I also love my RF 24-105 F4L on RP as a one lens setup that works well with my odins

- forget about 2-4 years - this stuff is generational

…until they pry it from my cold dead hands! 😵

it will take a great value implementation of e-shutter (eg, universal) and great value proposition of lenses and small size to get me to move - likely looking at least a half a decade to see what I want - in the meantime, enjoy what one has
