I am primarily a street photog pushing 70. I have been primarily a Canon shooter except for a three year hiatus with Leica. About a year ago I sold all my Leica gear and came back to Canon with a 5D3 and 35, 50, 85 and 135 L-glass.
What does this have to do with the M5? Sometimes the 5D3 and L-glass gets heavy for me to carry around all day. (I have back problems.) So I have been thinking mirrorless for a while now and after considering Fuji and Olympus, I think I have settled in on the M5 especially because I can use my Canon EF glass with the adapter. My question is for you folks using a 5D and M5... how do you view the M5 as a supplement for the 5D? Are you happy with it? Any regrets? And I am also concerned about the glass now available. How would you compare EF-M glass to available EF lenses both L and particularly non-L? I'd like to keep the entire unit light. Ultimately I would probably go with 35 full-frame equivalent for my street work until there is a solid 50 full-frame equivalent available.
Thanks for your help.
