Nice BIF capture, Mike ~~

Do you prefer to shoot with M6 II more than the R5?

Not at all SYS. I prefer the R5, but I have the M6 II (and my 70-300 mm lens with me all the time. I'm up in the foothills, and the valley grasslands frequently, and opportunities often occur when least expected. Because of this, the M6 II gets a lot of use. Any time that I go out on a planned photography excursion, I take the R5. To be honest, the M6 II does a lot better than I thought it would. However it's no R5 when it comes to overall image quality.
