The Sigma 16 is also a fantastic lens, but maybe more for special occasions. It is larger and heavier than the other EF-M lenses. But it is a great lens especially for parties, family gatherings and environmental portraits. You have to decide for yourself if you need it.

If I replace the EF-S 55-250 with an EF-M 55-250 and replace the EF 50/1.4 with the Sigma 56/1.4 then add a Canon 32/1.4, I'd end up with a kit that weighs about the same.

Canon M50 is 390 gms
Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM 220 gms
Canon EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM 260 gms
Canon EF-M 22mm f/2.0 105 gms
Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM 130 gms
Canon EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM 235 gms
Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN 280gms

If I add a Sigma 16/1.4, I'd have to choose between carrying it or the 56 1/4 + 22/2.

But then comes the size and weight. The EF-M is so small and light and needs no adapter. Tough decision.

I think the EF-M might be worth it if I am discarding the adapter altogether.

You are asking difficult questions. 😃

That's why we have experts like you.

I own the Sigma 16, the Canon 32 and the Sigma 56.

This might be the best combination.

If you are not using the long end very much, I would replace the EF-S 55-250 with the EF-M 55-200 (or EF-M 18-150mm?).

I could replace the EF-M 15-45 and the EF-S 55-250 with the EF-M 18-150. I think 150mm might give me all the reach I need.

How does the 18-150 compare with the EF-M 15-45, EF-M 55-200 and EF-S 55-250?

And if you also replace the 50mm with the Sigma 56, you don't need to carry the adapter. Sorry, but I can't take the decisions for you. 😉

The idea is to avoid the adapter altogether.

For travel (with the M50) I would keep the 11-22, 22 and add the 18-150 and 56 1.4. Keep the 15-45 as backup (no significant resale value and very useful as ultra light standard zoom) and get rid of the rest.

I am thinking: 11-22 + 22/2 + 32/1.4 + 56/1.4 + 18-150/f 3.5-6.3

That’s the kit I take with my M6II when traveling.

and it is a great travel kit if the body doesn't break and they don't discontinue m!

Oh common, you will find a body on the used market, don't worry.
