Personally I'd add a second M6 body, and then if you're still wanting to
expand, a 21mm. Such an outfit is about as close to perfection for your
chosen field as it's possible to get in this world (and possibly the next
:-)). And I confess that I only feel adequately dressed when I have two
camera bodies, and they have to be identical, don't ask me why!
But it's a personal thing, and I'm becoming wary of making
recommendations, since something weird seems to happen to the words as
they cross the aether. "I don't use a filter" seems to turn into "I don't
use a filter, and if *you* use one your hair will fall out and your
underpants catch fire!".
