M6 Mark II + 22mm, best time to buy it?
1

I bought some weeks ago a second hand M6 Mark II with viewfinder, extra batteries, EF-S Canon adapter, 15-45... for ~650$.

Now I bought a second hand 22mm f2 for ~130$.

I already own a 70-200 f4 L for zoom (I use zoom not very often).

For 780$ I probably have the most portable camera for the IQ that provides.

Attached a photo of the 22mm. This lens is better than expected. I bought it for the portability, but I think I will never detach from the camera 

Is probably now the best time to buy a M6 Mark II?

The best time to get something is when it is needed.

Where and how did you buy your things at such a good price?

In a spanish widely used portal to sell/buy second hand things called Wallapop. You just have to check the listing daily and when something you like appears, make some agreement with the seller.

You can either buy the product by meeting with the seller or using the sending service from Wallapop, is a little overpriced service but includes an insurance and the seller is not getting the money until you have confirmed that everything is like described.

After R10 and R7 lot of M6 appeared in the listing and was easy to negotiate a good price. People is also getting rid of the EF-M lens. This is why I told that was the best moment to get this camera combo.

i would so get one and a few lenses if folks around here dump them on the market...still nothing, though. Canon f*cked up by only bringing a few models officially right now they only have the m200, a few months ago there was m50 (the mk1) too.

I really think that the M6 Mark II will be a mythical camera in some years. If Canon is not releasing any R camera with this size, the portability, IQ, and build quality of this camera will prevail over time.

Of course, in this moment lot of people will sell all their M gear to buy R models, so I think it is a good time to buy a very good and unique camera.
