We have a total of 6 M bodies in our family.
My two children E and H use their Ms more-or-less exclusively with the 22mm native lens, with a bit of usage of the 11-22mm native lens by H.
I'd say over half of the images I've acquired with the M-series have come with the 11-22mm lens...although using the M10 + EFM-EF adapter + Canon 100-400 IS II combination afforded excellent (totality) eclipse pictures last August.
Other than that, I really hadn't used the adapter much at all.
Late last year I picked up the M6/18-150mm/electronic viewfinder (version 1) package and have been pleased with virtually all aspects of the M6...and the 18-150mm lens has worked as well as I expected it to (there's a Disney World bald eagle picture of mine somewhere on this board acquired with this lens).
With Canon Rumors informing us that the 70-200 f4 IS is due for a refresh, I decided to give it (via adapter, of course) a whirl on the M6.
Two pics using this combination are posted below.
First impression: the size and weight and volume of the adapter+70-200 f4 IS lens combination is just about perfect, when mated to the M6 (unlike when the Canon 100-400 II is connected to the M6...in the absence of a tripod or monopod, this lens kind of needs the 5D series or bigger body, in my opinion).
And the images?
Good enough for me...and focusing etc. seems snappy. I really really like the extra-compact size of the 18-150 EF-M lens...but ol'reliable and rather light-weight 70-200 f4 IS may just find its way into the rotation!
I echo what others have said about the use of telephoto (and especially heavy telephoto) lenses with the M-series of bodies: while not essential, a viewfinder is advisable...and I'm not sure exactly how to describe why.
I look forward to seeing what's next for Canon as far as mirrorless is concerned.
...and despite my modest (compared to some on this board!) investment in EF lenses, I trust that Canon will be forward-thinking as far as mount is concerned, when it comes to their full-frame mirrorless bodies.
