if it were me, I wouldn't invest in m without a second body, like a m6II

if it were me, I'd migrate toward a new travel kit: M50, 11-22, 32, R8 + Rf 24-105 (non L)

My travel kit will be M6II, 11-22, 32, R8 + RF 24-105 F4L

Why have 2 systems?

I was thinking of the M50 + 11-22 + 22/2 + 32/1.4 + 56/1.4 + 18-150 (all EFM). Total weight 1.53 kgs.

I'd get the 400gm 16/1.4 for the wide end if I had the weight to spare.

you then have all that glass invested in one body - think about what happens if you lose that body

I buy another body or get a spare now, while they are still available.

and your m50 can't do this

Which lenses is he using here?

Of course, you cannot compare a FF equipped with fast, expensive, heavy glass with a much poorer APSC camera. The question is do I need this level of performance?

Besides if I move to the RF system, I'd have to either shell out for expensive RF glass or adapt old and heavy EF glass. RF-S is unlikely to get too much attention from Canon.

I don't shoot sports. I rarely shoot in very low light. Most of my shooting is done on holidays visiting museums, hiking, indoor dinner parties, etc. For this use, a few fast primes (24/2, 50/2, and 80/1.4 in FF equivalent) and light zooms (16-35/4.5, 28-80/4.5, and 70-300/5.6 in FF equivalent) are adequate.
