Actually with the availability of 3rd party and the entirety of Canon’s EF/EF-S lens library, the M System has been pretty well fleshed out already (all except for that compact Sigma f/2.8 zoom ). Heck, with my M6ii right now I feel I can shoot just about anything on this planet! No need for any Fuji clunkers for me (my friend has a huge Fuji system and I shoot with it every now and then). No sir, I love my Canon.

Just returned from shooting a destination wedding in Greece using my trusted M50ii, a borrowed M50 and a nice collection of lenses: Canon 11-22, and 15-45, Sigma 30 and 56/1.4s along with a couple of flashguns (Canon 580 EXii and Phottix Mitros) - I was thinking something very close to what you are saying R2.

If only I could have an EF-M version of my beloved Sigma 17-50 f/2.8, I reckon I could have shot 85% of the wedding with my imaginary lens on the M50ii and the other 15% split between the Sigmas and the occasional wide angle shot with the 11-22. Honestly, it is the ONLY thing missing from having the complete wedding kit in an M system.

Yes that “missing” zoom would certainly make life easier, but I have to echo what MAC said in that I bet you did GREAT!

Thanks for the vote of confidence R2 and MAC.

I was generally happy with the results but the bulk of the images are of the party/dancing at the end which I took with the kit lens (15-45) around the 20-30mm range which was not great with that lens. I could have used the 30/1.4 for some of the images or even the 11-22 but I wanted the flexibility of a good quality zoom lens for the fast action which sadly I did not have with the kit lens.

Other than that, the 30/1.4 was probably the most used lens throughout the day followed by the 56/1.4 and the 11-22. The 55-200 never came out of the bag on this occasion although I love that lens.  Here are a few images that I quickly grabbed as I am still editing bridal preparation.
