You missed the part about "with 50mm 1.8"

Once you add the lenses, there is not much difference in size and only 2 grams difference in total weight

RP+RF 50mm f/1.8 vs. M6 II+EF-M 32mm f/1.4

You can't speak of a "bokeh quality to weight ratio," however, at the same weight I know what I prefer for my complex back grounds.

If "bokeh quality" is a primary consideration, then the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 should be the choice over either of these Canon options.

True, but that's not a free lunch, as it's a bit out of balance as it comes to other IQ aspects wide open.

speaking of IQ

In the IQ section of Bryan's m32 F1.4 review (the digital picture site), he compares the M32 to one of the most impressive IQ lenses on the planet, the EF 200 mm F2 L..

Like us, he is in awe --" the EF-M 32mm f/1.4 lens performs similarly to a lens costing over 12 times more."

"Take a great general-purpose focal length, pack it into a well-built, compact package, deliver impressive image quality, sell it at a relatively low price point and you have a winning combination. That succinctly sums up the Canon EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM Lens. This is a very impressive piece of kit even without the tiny size, light weight and low-price factored in."

"It is worth buying an also-impressive and affordable little EOS M-series camera just to use this lens with. For a simple kit, it may be the only camera and lens needed and even professionals may find this combo a great backup option."

for me, it is just this -- a simple light weight kit, and sometimes all I need.

and at other times a great backup option

That is exactly what I am figuring out. I have an M100 with the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 (my only EF-M lens). I think that lens is almost equal to the Canon EF-M 32mm f/1.4. It delivers very good quality on my M100. Now I would like to upgrade to M50ii or M6ii (don't know yet which one), and add the Sigma 56mm f/1.4. Seems a lot of fun to me, to have that combination. (And I will not buy other EF-M stuff.)

Your gear profile -- You seem to have similar path as me.

I've debated over and over about getting the 56 -- it is such a great lens. But with no IBIS and no IS -- I'd be needing a higher shutter speed (perhaps 1/160 + on my m6II to run it handheld).

Therefore, I bought the RF 85 F2 IS for my RP which I can drag the shutter down to ss 1/80 in low light situations and capture people who are not moving much. That saves an extra stop of light in certain situations.

But still -- I'd like to have the 56 -- so I may end up getting it -- it is such a great lens

On M6II versus M50II -- if you shoot in direct sunlight -- the M6II has e-shutter up to 1/16,000 so you would not have to use an ND filter.

Both the M6II and M50II have better focus, and eye focus, than your m100. If you are doing people shots with both your 30 and the56, then it would be worth an upgrade.

But you may also decide to stay with where you are at with m -- depends on your use case. I'm liking my M32 F1.4 and my 100L and my toki 10-17 on my m6II with also using DXO PL4 Elite. YMMV

When I am on the go or travelling, I always carry two (little) cameras. The RP with the RF35 f/1.8. And the M100 with the Sigma 30. The Ef-s10-22 somewhere in my luggage. I want better AF, and Eye-AF for people-pics. (And I need EVF for my eyes...) So I will switch the M100, perhaps I adapt the EF-s10-22 on it to stay there forever. The M50ii is such a little cutie, and not very expensive... Yes I know, these Sigmas don't have IS. But the RF85 is much bigger than the 56... I always try to get the most out of little cameras, instead of having the most expensive gear. For me: EF-M is alive and kicking. A lot of fun! And I still love my 6D, that old big boss. Only 1 good focus point, but the 6D keeps producing stunning top images. When a portrait matters, I use the 6D. I don't need more. (But the R6 is tempting...) My wife and I also use the G5Xii : don't underestimate that one! Very acceptable, very good, it keeps surprising me.

the RF 18-45 coming out sounds interesting. I will probably add if it is good.

Now that sounds like a plan. The 10-22 is known for low distortions for such a wide angle.

Good concept imo

For me: EF-M is alive and kicking. A lot of fun! And I still love my 6D, that old big boss. Only 1 good focus point, but the 6D keeps producing stunning top images.

I'll be using my RP + RF 24-105 F4 L for individual and group shots and my 6D with EF 35 F2 IS for backup shots as I shoot two cameras-- both with triggers on them -- and my lights with 60 inch umbrella -- for me -- the colors of the 6d and RP are from the old fab are the old Canon secret sauce colors that I love that Canon hasn't matched with their newer introductions and I'm not about profiling in software.

When a portrait matters, I use the 6D.

it gives great results for portraits

I don't need more. (But the R6 is tempting...)

well, think glass and size -- and getting away from your small size model -- those $2K + RF lenses are expensive -- this expensive glass is where the R6 and R5 sit imo to make them sing more than our RP/6D -- but at a much higher price -- whether it is worth it to you or not, only you can decide

My wife and I also use the G5Xii : don't underestimate that one! Very acceptable, very good, it keeps surprising me.

My M6II is the small for me

Smaller -- for me -- it must fit in jean's pocket -- latest iphone

best wishes and take care

$160 DXO PL4 for xtran

that economical triple combination will get a lot of attention for sure if it comes along

R5 order cancelled.

RF isn't the best platform for stellar compact primes, that's clear. At the same time, for that kind of stuff, I would move to Sony FE, not Fuji.

Sony has been so far more "third party friendly" which could benefit them

had you waited for this

maybe you would have done this

50mm f/1.2 isn't a reason to shoot Canon anymore: Canon EOS R Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com)

competition and waiting is usually a good thing

I have young kids, and time is moving fast. For us 2 months is nothing, for them it's an era.  I enjoyed the R5 a lot over my R shooting last summer holiday.... I don't want to wait. Every phase is once in a life time and you can't do it over again.

I shoot Canon for low priced used EF (third party) class, sacrificing compactness getting  great IQ for the buck.

I shoot Canon for best AF, especially low light AF.

So yeah, no great compact primes, no Tamron 35-150mm f/2.0-2.8. It is what it is, you can't have it all.

This evening I will leave to Vienna, f/2.8 standard zoom and the 40mm Art are in the bag. The RF 85mm f/2.0 IS stm as well. The Tamron 17-35mm will do the job of the 11-22mm. That Tamron is also my low weight 24mm. The other two low weight lenses are the 35mm IS USM and the....... EF 50mm stm! I realized I will shoot stopped down anyway, so the wide open performance doesn't matter that much. Don't need fast AF either. And it's a lot less weight on the camera compared to the f/2.8 standard zoom. If I do need shallow DOF there's always the 40mm Art, or 70mm at f/2.8.  I will also bring the 85mm for it's stunning IS in low light, and it's not that heavy anyway.  So that's 3.5 Kg of glass....

My telephoto zoom isn't ideal for this job, so I decided to leave that one at home. A 70-200mm or that new RF 100-400mm would have been better here.

I hear you, I'm about small and value and quality

It came out about a year ago that Fuji was considering cooperating with third party lens protocols

But it hasn't happened yet with the siggy trio

I'd be surprised if Fuji went this route and lost sales of their own primes and even the two siggy zooms -- the 18-35 and 50-100 would creep into Fuji sales

that said -- I remember when IBM lost their PC sales when they didn't support third party stuff.

We shall see -- but I don't hurry into this stuff

I hit the brakes hard.

Will be doing lots of testing with PL5.

I am completely in love with my EF 70-300L, I think it is positively the sharpest zoom lens I have ever used but its weight kind of rules out the Ms so it has almost become my RF  kitlens and it seems to be even nicer on EOS R than RP.

I like the M6II a lot, I can see where people could get frustrated with it,

I read the big user manual and that little camera is a beast,

Getting a handle on all it's features has been fun for me.

I have been studying, enjoying and repairing the electronic wonders from the orient for 61 years.

The M6II is quite an amazing electronic wonder from the orient !

I have no smart phone and no cable and only watch the first few mins of the PBS news hour to see the headlines.

And while most of my friends do have smart phones and cable they also think Trump will be president by the end end the year. I don't.

The smart phone cameras and cable have confused their brains ?

I don't want a smart phone camera. They confuse people !

I sold my 6D because my M6II was way more useful and I wanted someone else to get to enjoy using it,

And my RP sits in the dry box most of the time too. Might have to sell that also.

While my wife still loves her M3, I am in general parting ways with my M6 Mark II and all lenses. My daughter who's a doctor/surgeon will now be using the M6 Mark II as she finds it useful for her work (so we're keeping the fabulous EF28mm 3.5 Marco which she needs and likes using).

This has nothing to do with M bodies, particularly the M6 Mark II, as they are top performing photographic tools. It has nothing to do with the possibility that Canon will no longer upgrade the M series with new body or lenses.

It’s simply doing what makes more sense for me, as well as consolidating my gear towards something more certain – which is the EOS RF system. The lineup of RF lenses keeps improving, and expanding in terms of pricing options. There are affordable primes and “single-kidney” priced ones. Canon no doubt is investing its best on the RF system, which makes it the best way to go.

My typical combo now will be the R + R6 or the RP + R6. I added back the RP to my system so I don’t have to miss the portability of the M6 Mark II. The RP with the RF35mm is quite portable. Very portable with the RF50mm 1.8 (which makes me lose IS, just like my erstwhile favorite combo M6II+32mm).

Let me also share that this is a decision that dovetails nicely to both my personal and professional circumstances. On the personal front, my priority is family travel photography as we are now able to resume some degree of domestic travel and likely some foreign travel by the next quarter of next year. This means mirrorless FF assures me of “no-hassle” photography under any lighting condition (as we love visiting night markets to feast on street food). Nearly all of my paid gigs (a passive but lucrative source of income for me) is now leaning towards corporate portrait and product photography, for which the RF system again is superior.

Do I recommend this for all M system fans? No. The 32mp inside the M6II is a very capable sensor. It is not perfect. It does need some help from DxO software past ISO800. But the level of detail it captures, with the right lens and the right settings, is worthy of praise.

A few weeks or months later, maybe I will regret having taken this path. Or maybe not. I will post here how it’s been by then since anyway, I “conjugally” still have an M3 that I could occasionally use 😊

I am not really sure why I keep picking my M6II over my RP when I go out.

If I had a R6 or R5 maybe I would pick one of them over the M6II, I don't know.

Not giving up my 32MM. No way and the M6II is the best body to put behind it.

When a better M body comes along I will buy it to put behind my 32MM and 35MM TS.

Yes, the 32mm goes very well with the M6II. If you're ok with its capabilities and limitations, stick with it especially if it works for your kind of photography.

I have never owned a lens that was sharp like that at f1.4 so my type of photography gets to enter a new realm.

Hit the great outdoors with your M6ii and your RP. You may be missing a lot, it's a great combo. Desktop photography and obsessing with DxO can only get you so far.
