Wish everyone the best of luck in their journeys and I'll report back on the R50 when it arrives. Pre-ordered it a bit ago. Cheers.

Happy to hear your conclusions. Quite a bit of your posts on the M forum have been helpful if not to appease GAS then to understand the gear and its IQ in question.

Personally after having smitten by the R6 and then looking for a lightweight 2nd body I have swung between carrying two R6s to, RP + R6, no R6 but R10 + M6 II.

In the R8 I think I am getting to the point where I think I might settle down.

R6 + RF STM 24-105 and R8 + L14-35.

Going through my past images I realised I shoot in the wide to ultra-wide more than anything else and for most uses the R8 won't be as frustrating as the RP along side R6.

Keeping that RF STM 24-105 on the R6 as R6 probably still is the most forgiving camera I have used.

Between the combination mentioned above I think I will still keep the RF 50 f/1.8 in the mix and hopefully I should be ok.

Cheers,
