One thing I just wish with the EOS M line was having more than 300mm at an affordable price.

Sure they are options but the prices are just too much once you go above the 300mm mark.

The RF line though has few telephoto lenses and affordable too.

With the R50 introduction, it might just sway me to try it out.

Personally the 600 f/11 and 800 f/11 are just too dark for me on an APS-C camera. They cut it on a R6 - or on the APS-C R's I think in good light or slow speed stuff only.

Have you looked at adapted sigma or tamron 100-400's for EF-M?

Used copies of the excellent Canon100-400 II with a dealer warranty also coming right down as everyone ditches these for the RF 100-500.   The 100-400 II works nicely on my M6II.
