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.
maybe for some folks that is the case
I've always bought new
Why?
in over two decades, I've had zero headache's buying 16 bodies new - I don't want to change that track record by increasing the risk of buying used
another fun fact, I've shot over a million shots and have never dropped a lens
I would only buy m6II
M6II is gone
when mine dies, I'm likely done with m
RF 15-30mm f/4.5-6.3 IS stm? Does that float your boat?
nope
RF 50mm f/1.8 stm?
nope
Or rather an FE 50mm f/1.4 GM?
if m6II broke, I'd sell 11-22 and 32
I will likely get the RF 16 after watching DP Review's video on it
and we'll have to see what is available when my m6II breaks - never say never on a A7CII + 50 f1.4 gm if canon doesn't get it's act together
