It's a shame that Canon hasn't done more with the EOS M system, but what's available is truly incredible and underrated. Few people talk about or recognize how great Canon's offerings are in this space. The 22mm is the smallest first-party autofocus lens from any APS-C manufacturer and the image quality is extremely good. It makes the camera so fun and pocketable while giving a similar look of a 35mm f/2.8 on full frame. Kind of excellent for general photography and street shooting. Then they finally introduce this 32mm f/1.4 which gives a very similar look of 50mm f/2 on full frame. All in a small, lightweight package that's designed to be used wide open with its high sharpness and lack of lens aberrations. While the kit 15-45 isn't going to win any image quality awards, it does win a place in my bag for being a very small and practical lens for traveling and general use. Damn, and then there's the 11-22 and 55-250! Honestly, all of the lenses are great. Just have to keep this in your mind as a small, travel camera or a fun camera for general use. I don't think there is any system better on the market with APS-C.
When I'm stressed out and I come home from work, I look forward to watching your great reviews and your voice relaxes me and calms me down. Thank you
I'm surprised how much better this one seems to perform on your test chart than the Sony 35mm f/1.8 IS and the Fuji 35mm f/1.4 R
If only Canon invested a bit more into fleshing out the lineup of EF-M lenses... Fuji and Sony still seem like better options overall if you want more glass.
I understand that people think this lens is too expensive, but Sony charges $429 for a 35mm f/1.8 which is not even in the same class as this lens, though it does have OSS. Fuji charges $599 for a 35mm f1/4 lens with poor AF. Olympus charges $399 for a 25mm f/1.8 which is a nice lens with no weaknesses but can't compare in wow factor. Panasonic charges $697 for a 25mm f/1.4, which is an amazing lens, mind you, but still.... Canon is charging $479 for a 50mm-equivalent that has no weaknesses: great picture quality, biting sharpness, great wide aperture, excellent bokeh, pretty fast and very accurate AF, good enough build, extremely compact. Good glass costs money, but the 22mm and 32mm are both amazing values for the money with no major weaknesses, and you won't find another system that has those two equivalent lenses priced so fairly.
Way better than the 7artisan 35mm manual focus where I got because Canon did not have a 50mm equivalent with large aperture. Now I am conflicted. I found the manual focus too difficult with kids and the 32 1.4 too expensive. I wish this lens is affordable like the 22mm. Great review, as always
Hi man, love your videos!
Any chance you review the Viltrox EF-M2 speed booster? Thanks :)
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the review. With such limited EF-M glass, glad this gets a thumbs up from you.
This is cool. I would be very interested in seeing more lenses like this from Canon. Fast aperture primes for the M series definitely makes me take another look at the M series and consider them for travel and everyday photography. Great review Chris!
The beat thing in the world would be for canon to move this optical formula to the RF mount for the lovely R7.
It's expensive which is sad.
I just got out of the EOS-M system for a second time. I love these cameras, but the lack of commitment from Canon and my desire to shoot invest more into my full-frame lenses had me part ways with my M50 after selling my M5 about a year ago as well. I would say this lens and the 22mm are the "must own" lenses for the system. If they would be so kind to release at fast 10mm or 15mm prime I would probably get back into the system just for traveling.
Agree! I'd buy an EF-M 15mm f/1.4 or f/2.0 immediatelly. As I did with the 32mm as soon as it was available. :)
Kevin DiOssi how much were you able to sell the m50 for? I’m gonna give canon until next August and then I’m going to Sony.
@@MariNate1016 I sold my whole kit to a friend for $1200. Was the M50, 11-22, 15-45, 22mm and a 12mm f/2 Rokinon. Probably could have asked for more in open market. Not sure why everyone thinks they need to switch brands, but whatever works for you and you want to do. I personally don't have any issues with the target the EOS-M is trying to attack - small and compact.
I found the Laowa 9 mm f2,8 who are available with ef-m mount. Manual focus but would be pretty easy on my m50 i think. It has gotten great reviews and Very small.
Is this lens better for the m50 compared to the 28mm native ef m lens?
The only thing this lens is missing IMHO is a Red ring
This is the nifty fifty Canon needs. The actual 50mm F1.8 which I bought long ago due to the overwhelming amount of suggestions was a very poor choice. It's too long for a lot of shots, full of optical problems wide open on aps-c, and once you stop it down enough it's not that bright. This looks like a perfect 50mm F2 equivalent. Well done Canon.
Well, the 50mm f1.8 is also less than a third of the price of this lens (and close to a fourth). They're not really the same category at all.
@@Sandreas95 The excellent 55-250 stm started life at $300, now its down to half that. If this lens preformed very well, I could see its price getting chopped nearly in half as well. More expensive, but well more lens.
You must’ve had the old nifty fifty.
@@MariNate1016 Mark II, yes. Same optics in the new one if I'm not mistaken.
I just wish it was stabilized especially at that price.
Thanks so much!!!! Been waiting for this. Read many other review and forum but still waiting for yours.
Very well done review as usual!
Canon and the same old story... nice lens no IS. They give us something but the they don't give us what we really would like. It's ok.
Just love using this lens.. so versatile..top shelf canon !
Thanks Chris appreciate your review of this lens, im so glad you did.
I bought Sigma 135mm f1.8 EF a few monts ago because your review. And now i'm just waiting for this 32mm f1.4 to arrive.. Thanks Frost!
Thanks Chris for your (as usual) very nice review! (I personally asked for this review a couple of weeks ago and am very happy to actually see it now :-) )
Ah, I’m impressed ! Thanks you so much for this review ! I thought it was way to expensive to just get and see what would happen, but I think I’ll actually consider spending the money :D
Honest and well narrated as always. Merry Christmas to you and you family.
Can you test the canon efm 32mm f1.4 on m6 mark ii, just curious how the lens perform on larger apsc censor...thx
Coming later this week :-)
@@christopherfrost I'd like to see this
Beautiful lens and beautiful review. I love the EF-M series.
In a few year I'll get this 32mm for sure ! But I need to save money for this...
I already got the EF-M 18-150, 22 and 28mm (my wife got me the 28mm
Very nice lens, EF-M definitely alive! 5*
Hello Chris. Thank you for your videos this year and a very Happy Christmas & New Year to you. All the best!
I have the nifty fifty. Would it not be a better idea to buy the Viltrox Eos EF-M M2 speedbooster adapter?
Eagerly awaiting your reply 🙂
The nifty fifty and the speed booster is a GOD combo. BUT: it feels big for the camera, there is a lot of glass there. Image quality is great in my real world use.
Chris thank you for all of ur videos.... any chance of updating this test (EF M 32mm f1.4) mounted on ur new M6 mkII . ??
I was wondering the same thing. In particular, I was wondering how it compares with the sigma 30mm 1.4
@@jameskurzynski2386 there's a comparison video on TH-cam. Very similar.
Great nononsense professional review! You covered every important aspect in the best possible way!
I am going to wait for my Viltrox EF-EOS M2 focal reducer/speedbooster to see how my 50 f1.4 does as a 56.5mm f1! Canon seems to be willing to invest more time and effort on the M cameras with their M50 which is a great little package at least for stills shooter and their patent for their own focal reducer. Canon apparently also has a patent for a soft focus EF to R adapter which is great because EF lenses are not optimised for mirrorless and their constant hunting/micro-adjusting is irritating! I hope they will also make a soft focus adapter for the M system.
I can't wait to see the impact on the image quality of the focal reducer with my 50mm 1.4 and 24-70 2.8 L lenses ... might also through the 85mm 1.8, my 20mm 2.8 (although I own the 22mm EF-M) and my Tokina 17mm f3.5. At £119 on Amazon this Viltrox is a no brainer I think.
Canon's 50 1.4 is competent but not particularly good so I imagine it will be quite a bit worse, with the exception of background blur, than the EF-M 32mm Chris reviewed once you've got an inexpensive focal reducer on it. But then, the focal reducer does multiply your options and costs a lot less.
@@AhpgZfoc4s yes but reducing the focal will improve the resolution of the lens and should make it perform closer to how it performs on full frame ... Except for the fact that the extra glass elements might deteriorate the image. The problem is that the theory on these reducers shows that they could work perfectly with one lens and terribly with another one.
@@AhpgZfoc4s oh and the other thing that I won't be able to try but should be interesting is using the focal reducer with EF-S lenses (or compatible such as the sigma 18-35mm 1.8) to compensate for the 4K crop. That should hurt the lens resolution though but maybe some lenses are good enough to take the hit especially when shooting video as it is only 4K and not the full 24mpix.
@@AhpgZfoc4s I ordered this reducer and tested it with 100mm 2.0 - it's not very good. I got 1.4 aperture instead of 2.0, but 1.4 is very soft (for me 1.4 is unusable with this quality). 2.0 is better and 2.8 is sharp, but only in the centre. Corners are not important with the portraits, but I think it will not be usable with wide angle lenses. Also, this reducer drains up my battery (when my camera is turned off) and it catches lots of lens flares. If you want to get low quality options - you'll receive it with this cheap solution.
I just did a video on the speedbooster on my channel if you wanna check it out. Been using it on my 16-35 out in Thailand it’s amazing.
Was really hyped for this lens given how long it's been since we've had an EF-M lens but £500 is really steep for an EF-M IMO. Think I'll just stick with using an adapter.
wow, Canon glass at it's best
Thanks for your review :D I wish canon will make a 50mm fast lens for EOS M system
i didn't know that it wasn't stabilized. That's a huge bummer for me, i have really shaky hands
I dont think it is stabilized?he might be using digital is for video
Grreat review as always Chris, thanks! And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you & the family.. 🍾
Been waiting for this one! Thanks!
Awesome! I like my EOS M system, and was curious about this lens! Didn't pick it up because I don't normally like 50mm equivalent (I love the 22mm/35mm equivalent), but I am glad you took a look for us
Hoping that sigma will come up with ef-m lenses the way they did with apsc emount.
Amazing video! ive had my m50 for a while now and really wanted a nice prime lens for it, I had spoken to canon directly on their live chat and they pointed me in the direction of this lens, they were really helpful and that's how I found your video!! I think im going to grab one thanks
I'm sure they were happy to help :-) it's a great lens
Finally you came across this lens, thank you :) I agree that the only serious drawback is the price - especially while the lens doesn´t have IS but I guess that the IS would make this lens too big for the EF-M mount, or simply too expensive (but I am no technician, I don´t really know how much room the IS system needs). Am I right that to get non-blurred photos (without a tripod), you have to shoot at least at 1/50-60?
That's the so-called "reciprocal rule" -- you take the full-frame equivalent focal length in mm (ie. multiply by the crop factor, so 32*1.6=51) then take the reciprocal (eg. 1/51) and that is a guide for the slowest shutter speed you should use for hand-holding. It's not really a hard and fast rule, just a rough starting point. In the end, you need to review the handheld shot you just took by zooming in and see if the motion blur is acceptable or not.
Thanks for the review - I went and bought this lens! I'm not sure if it's the camera or the lens but anyone else notice when set to manual focus - if you make the shot super blurry - the photo taken is more in focus than what you see on the LCD screen? I wish it was WYSIWYG...
Christopher, online lens reviews wouldn’t be the same without you!!! Thank you for all your work, much appreciated!!! Also, love your Christian vid's! God bless you brother! ;-)
thanks ! wish you a Merry Christmas !
all the best from Germany
Maik
Picked this lens up used which I thought was a better price than the MSRP. It's quite amazing in everything except AF in video with my m50. It's pretty slow at wide apertures with big changes in focus which I'm guessing is a product of the wide aperture, motor and magnification ratio of .25. Pretty much in line with your review except for your hope that it was faster with DPAF. What a great lens!
Thank you so much for this review!
I wish you would review m43 lenses. I really like your reviews and I am using m43 right now.
Not a fan of M4/3 really although it works for some people
Late question. I'm new to the game but looks like this is a good all-around lens. I was looking into the infamous nifty-fifty, but still need an adapter for the canon M50. Way I figure, buy this lens alone and skip the 50 and its adapter. Am I correct in this thinking?
That's what I would do, personally. Another thing to consider is that the 50mm lens with the adaptor will actually behave like an 80mm lens, so a much tighter field of view
Wonder why you don't have Millions of subscribers 😓
@Strawberry Kiys that's actually the sad truth
he's also adressing quite a niche market: camerafanboys that speak english and use mostly sony or canon camera's
and most people won't be subscribing if they've only watched a review when in search of a lens
He has LOADS of views though. The channel is very popular and respected. He hasn't succumbed to the clickbait salesman approach we see not so cleverly disguised in all the other popular photography channels.
Good reviewer but the ytubers with lots of subs generally offer more content and entertainment. Like p. McKinnon and Thomas heaton. I like this channel but it is not going to be big just from review of lenses
So as to lighten my pack for hiking (R with the "trilogy" of lenses.)I just got a GREAT buy on an M5 as it departs the line-up along with the 18-150mm lens. I know that lens will be a tough sell for me given my other lenses, but you've talked me into the 32mm. Now to start saving. That price has not dropped by much!
thank you!! im thinking about buying this lens but i have been searching for a good video to watch before i make up my mind.
thank you for posting!
If I may ask if I wanted to photograph a full body shot of a person, how far back would I need to be?
Thanks for the review. Bummer on the no stabilization on video. That really sucks. My use is 80% video and stabilization is mandatory. No Stabilization = Deal Breaker for me :-(
Hopefully Canon will discover the joys of IBIS one day
@@christopherfrost yes. i have downgraded from the 5d series up through the 5d3 and downgraded to the lighter weight M series and absolutely loving them although i suffer for the right lenses, admittedly the EF are great but alas, the weight. I would love to know that the 32mm EF-M would work for me but I do so much video that stabilization is mandatory.
Efm lens always very sharp, i own a 22mm f2.0 efm it is the sharpest lens compares to my sigma and EF lens
I realy love your reviews! The online decent ones onze TH-cam ... keep up
Nice video. I guess I will spend the money recently. Your video is really helpful, thanks.
Can you do a review of 50mm f1.8 stm with a viltrox speedbooster. That would greatly help me in making my camera choice of getting an m50 or sl2. Thanks.
YAY! a new lens for the canon m system. NAY! for the price - for me, for now anyway. i think i'll stick with macro lens which i bought after watching your review. i really like that lens & it's so small! thanks again for your great reviews! (where is the rabbit? hope he [or she?] is ok. :-)
Was gonna get this but went with the 16-35L on the speedbooster with the m50 and boy, I’m never using a non L series lens again lol, but this one is pretty damn good.
MariNate Hello. Very interested in this setup. What speed booster did you purchase? Also did you get the F4 or the F2.8 version of the 16-35mm L lens? I love my M50 but looking to get some better glass.
Given the quality of the lens, it probably is worth the asking price. Although I wish they'd put in image stabilisation. Would then be a must-have lens. Shame you didn't have your M6 Mk II yet when testing. I think this would be great on a 32mp sensor.
Too expensive and without IS, at least they could include a lens hood for this money!
agree with u dude
please tell me the price of canon m50 with Canon 32mm f/1.4 EF-M and i have herd that if we buy Canon 32mm f/1.4 EF-M the price will be less the actual price is it true ?????? which one is better for portrait photography canon 32 mm 1.4 or canon 50mm 1.8 or sigma 30 mm 1.4???
@@loveyou-ts4rm Best portrait lens for the system is Sigma 56mm f/1.4. Second best is Canon 32mm f/1.4
I wish there was a lens like this for Nikon dslr's :P
Hi Chris. I simply love your videos, it so detailed and technical. Yet simple to understand and follow. Quick question, i am an amateur photographer, i have the Canon M50 and the lenses i have are the kit lens 15-45 efm, 22 Prime pancake lens which i use for street photography and portraits. I want a lens which i want to use for landscaped dedicatedly, i want a prime lens, should i go for the Canon 11-22 efm or sigma 16 mm? Also i think the third option is getting a 32 mm efm. What do you think i should buy so that have a well rounded lens option. Bear in mind i can only buy one of these as my budget is about 500 dollars. Thanks.
I would go for the 11-22 for the extra flexibility
Is there a cheaper version out there that does the same portrait? Let me know what I might need with a EOS M system.
Just added this lens to my Amazon wish list. Now I need to save up. Heck, maybe the price will drop in the mean time.
Why no lens like this for EF-S?
Ask Canon
Canon would rather you upgrade. That's how they I always been.
It's sad but true, I think EF-S is well and truly on the way out. Who cares, mirrorless is way better anyway and the gap is only getting bigger as technology marches on :-)
@@christopherfrost Why do you think so?
EF-S look more expensive I guess they are trying to concentrate on glass quality.
For over head videos (artist ) is the focal length suitable ? If not what other lens would you recommend for the m6 mark ii ? Thanks btw 🥰
Hello Chris, is it worth getting this if I already have the 22mm F2??
Many Thanks 🙏🏽
Thx for video test!
What I like with the mirrorless Sony e-mount system is that both full frame and APS-C e-mount lenses can be used in both APS-C and full frame e-mount cameras.
Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm didn't follow that.
The Canon EOS-M lenses are restricted to EOS-M camera bodies. They are not compatible even with an adapter with the new full frame mirrorless Canon EOS-R camera. I believe that Canon betrayed the owners of EOS-M cameras and lenses.
On paper it sounds great, but in reality it's always a compromise - at least with small APSC bodies like A6XXX or EOS M5. When I bought the EOS M5 I started using it with EF lenses... after half a year of pain I realized it's not the way. A small APSC body is terrible with most fullframe lenses. Now I use almost exclusivelly EF-M lenses. The situation can be different for bigger APSC bodies (eg. 7D) and it seems like Canon won't have those in EF-M mount.
Karel Mačalík It is true that most of times APS-C lenses are better than full frame lenses on APS-C cameras. However if you have an old full frame lens it is conveniently to use it with an APS-C camera instead of buying a new APS-C lens with similar optical characteristics.
@ There're reasonably sized and priced FE lens to use on Sony APS-C, to name a few the FE28/2, FE85/1.8, Samyang 24/2.8AF. One could also use the FE70-200G and various Zeiss lens if budget is not a concern, plus the Sigma trio that's easily more choice than EOS-M(except a quality normal zoom I'd agree, dang Sony)
@@yuyip7926 But they are bigger than necessary, or not as fast as possible with that extra image circle. I use the FE 35mm /2.8 Samyang on the a6000 and I love it - it at least is sharp enough to serve the APS-C sensor not like the 24mm Samyang (don't know about the sony lenses). But I believe if it was a native APS-C lens it would be even smaller or a brighter maximum aperture would have been possible. Having 2 mounts isn't too bad of an idea actually. Or offering more APS-C only lenses (which comes down to the same), are you listening sony?
It’s too expensive for me. I’m planning on getting an m50 and I would love this, but you can get the adapter and a 50mm 1.8 for less than half the price.
Don't buy the 50mm, save up and get this one, for real, a 50mm on apsc is way too tight for day-to-day shots, it's almost exclusively for portrait work...
Mr Hist it’s cool as a telephoto prime tbh. And if you ever plan to upgrade to FF it’ll come in handy.
And much poorer performance...
Hi... love your review. Pls advice which one to choose, this lense or 11-22mm? Am already have EF M 22mm fixed lense and looking for a superb travel and landscape photography. Thanks
They're completely different lenses, so it's up to you and what kind of photography you want to do
I have this and the 11-22mm. The 22mm is very similar to the 32mm. I'd recommend the 11-22mm.
The worst part of Canon mirrorless is not the lenses, they're stellar actually it's just their dated sensor technology that's holding them back
Holding them on top of market share :D their M50 and M6 are great
Canon's sensor at the time of its release was competitive with Sony APSC cameras. It's in fact the same sensor used in the 80D which was noted by reviewers for having a healthy amount of DR, good ISO performance and sharp results. Since the a6500, Sony haven't come out with anything when it comes to making new APSC cameras with new APSC sensors.
The dual pixel focus on my tiny M100 is fantastic.
I am wonderinf if EW-43 lens hood for EF-M 22mm will fit on this one.
Expensive Expensive Lens
Akhyar Rayhka not really. Lenses are usually thousands.
@@MariNate1016 Equivalent Fuji lens is a lot cheaper, and is weather resistant. Even Canon's 50 mm f/1.4 full frame lens is cheaper. I think the EOS M system is a lovely one for travel and family shots, but it's an expensive one.
@@dangernba fujis 35mm 1.4 costs 600
Its performance seriously competes with L glass, so not really expensive compared to them
@@DanielFazzari Maybe optically, but what about robustness? A "full frame" lens is also more expensive due to the larger image circle.
Hello Chris,
I'm a huge fan of your videos. They have been very helpful. I'm considering to buy a Canon EOS M50. What's your take on the Viltrox EF-EOS M2 0.71x speed booster. Can I expect better results when paired with the 50mm f/1.8 STM lens?
Thanks in advance
A helpful reply from anyone is highly appreciated.

Nice review.
I tried this lens in the camera store today, and was literally blown away… Still can't afford it though!
Great review as always! thank you very much sir!
Great video! By the way, which mocrophone did you use in this video?
AudioTechnica AT2020 USB
@@christopherfrost Thanks a lot!
Could you test the new yongnuo 35mm 1.4? it seems like a very interesting lens as it is only 300 dollars and significantly cheaper than the canon and sigma counterparts.
Have 22mm f/2 for daily and its very nice, if upgrade to 32mm i'm afraid the view is more tight for everyday use and the price is sooo expnsive
Meizu Quinn price is a bit expensive for a mirrorless lens tbh. If you don’t think you’ll keep it for a while
Hi does this work with canon m100? What adapter should I use? Planning to buy this. Thanks for the video 😍
As an EF-M lens, it'll fit straight on to your camera. It'll be great
Great review! How does it compare to the Sigma 30mm f1.4?
The Sigma isn't as sharp, especially wide open in the corners. It has more CA too. The Canon lens is markedly better, especially on the M6 Mark II.
@@danielr9708 Thanks. I did some research and purchased the Canon 32mm f1.4 yesterday along with the 22mm f2.0
@@MrNYCman530 Congrats. I just bought the 32mm myself. I'll probably get the 22mm at some point too.
Canon like Sony hides where most of its lenses are made. The made in Malaysia is inscribed at around the back element.
At least Sigma is still making Japanese lenses!
Great review. How would this lens perform on the Canon M50? Hope you and your family are having an amazing Christmas season keep in touch my friend.
If it performs on my M3 it performs on the M50 :-) have a great Christmas, all the best!
I bought the M50 when it came on the market and i bought this lens when it hit the market and i must say it stays 99% of the time on my M50. It's my "mini high quality 80s style" camera - I had the AE-1 with the 1.4 5o mm S.S.C. lens. IQ and functionality is gorgeous. What I really like ist the 1:4 maximum reproduction ratio resulting in an image field of about 60 x 90 mm.
Nice review. Just a shame canon hasn't yet made anything like this for its aps-c dslrs.
Matthew Harry They probably won't. The closest you're going to get if you really want to stick with APS-C DSLRs is the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 ART which can be bought for around $350 USD on eBay.
please tell me the price of canon m50 with Canon 32mm f/1.4 EF-M in USA and i have herd that if we buy Canon 32mm f/1.4 EF-M the price will be less the actual price is it true ?????? which one is better for portrait photography canon 32 mm 1.4 or canon 50mm 1.8 or sigma 30 mm 1.4???
Look on Google for prices. The 50mm f/1.8 will be better for portrait photography IMO unless you want wider angles
Quality video, does this lens extend during focus?
It does
Always wanted this lens, but it cost around 500$. Am wondering if the Meike 35mm f/1.4 is any good, could you do a review, Chris?
Maybe one day :-)
This lens looks a bit like a canon 50mm f1.8 at least in size. Which lens is bigger Chris?
The 50mm lens is wider, this lens is a little longer (I think)
why no stabilization TT . Almost a perfect lens. I use my M3 for video by the way.
who you do it? its autofocus is old and there is no ibis so how you manage do do video with it? I have m3 btw!
Is the built quality good? If i we're to pay $500 for a piece of plastic. I rather have a PLeica or An olympus Pro lens which are all silent also. 👍
As I say in the review, the build quality is quite nice
Hi, may I ask which lens is more snappy? This 32 or the EF-M22? I am looking for a fast AF lens for my M6, thanks
Alvin Bartolome they perform about the same to me, but I got rid of this 32mm and kept the 22mm. Using the Viltrox .71 Speed Booster with the EF 50mm you get down to F/1.2 and an effective focal length of 56mm versus the 32mm effective of 51mm and F/1.4. That’s a better performance in my opinion for almost the same specs and about 2/3 the cost. It adds a slight bit of weight, but it looks amazing in dark settings.
If it wasn't so expensive it would be a no brainer.
Man im stumped i recently got a sony a7 but could not afford the lenses so i had to get rid of it now im stumped inbetween the t7i and the m50 wich of the 2 cameras will be cheaper to get lenses for and wich one will be the future?
vilobike If you do not absolutely want+need full frame, go Fujifilm!
Get a discounted X-T2 and get an F2 prime (23,35,50, 35mm F2 is GREAT first lens) or the 18-55. The affordable Fuji lenses are of much better quality than the cheaper lenses from canon, if you are on a budget.
Just feel them in your hands, the T7i and the M50 will feel like toys after trying the X-T2. ıt might seem weird at first, once you get used to the beautiful retro controls and dials of Fuji, you can never go back ;).
I sold my old 7D Mark I, got a T7i, traded it for an M50 after a month, sold the M50 after another month and got an X-T3, couldn't be happier!
APS-C cameras from Canon do not even come close to fuji. Canon does not make any proper lenses for APS-C, and this 32mm is too expensive...
(yep this is a bit biased, long time canon user here, switched to fuji)
@Kay Yep! The canon 32mm is very sharp. However, it seems like canon is not taking aps-c seriously, unlike fujifilm, and the lens line-up is sadly very lacking even after all these years since the launch of the original eos m. Also neither the 32mm, nor any of canon's aps-c mirrorless cameras have any sort of weather sealing, and IMO they shouldn't feel so plasticky at these prices. (Canon efm 32mm 480$, Fujifilm 35mmF2 Weather saatler 400$)
love that lens
Please do a review of viltrox eos m2 speedbooster for the eos m canon cameras. It seems like a very interesting prospect...
I would love to - at the moment though I'm only really getting the time to make normal lens reviews unfortunately
Mate, please do a review of yongnuo 35 1.4
Just wondering which lens would be better for the canon m50? This 32mm or the native 28mm ef m lens? Thanks in advance.
If you want macro, the 28mm. If you want more striking pictures with out of focus backgrounds, the 32mm
Thanks..
