@Tech Gear Talk what camera and lense are you using in this video? I'm looking for the background blur that you have and how far is your camera from you? Because I want people to see my desk in my vlog
This is THE most informative video I have seen on lenses. The fact that you're referencing them against the M50 and M6 mk2 is great, too many youtubers forget that the general public doesn't have 10 - 15K to wax on camera kit. I hope Canon offer you a sponsorship. Thank you.
I bought the M50 mark II last year with the 18-150mm kit lens and took it to Dubai Expo 2020. I’m ashamed to say I’m still a novice at photography and used it a lot just in auto mode. However I was surprised at how well most of the shots came out. I returned to the UK and bought the smaller 11-22mm kit lens. Thank you for this video. I’m still getting to grips with the basics of aperture, iso and shutter speed so looking forward to getting out more to use it (once the UK stops raining!)
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any assistance you can give me
I recently purchased the M50 with the 15-45mm and 55-200mm in a kit. This video has confirmed my choice of the Sigma 16mm as my next lens. I've never used anything but a point and shoot until now and I'm extremely thankful for your content that has helped me learn the ropes. My favorite gear channel!
I have done thorough tests of the EF-M 22mm f2, the EF 50mm f1/8 with and without a Viltrox speed booster, the EF-M 15-45mm kit lens, and the EF-S 55-250mm IS STM lenses. TL,DR: 22mm is sharpest when the aperture is open to f4 or larger and has consistent sharpness throughout the entire image at all f stops. 50mm without the booster is sharpest at f5.6+, but when speed boosted has greater center sharpness and worse middle and edge sharpness up until f11, where it has the same sharpness in the center with and without the booster. The zoom lens, predictably is the sharpest when you can't get close to a subject you want to focus on because optical zoom beats the heck out of digital zoom/cropping in. The kit lens isn't the sharpest at anything, but is versatile since it can cover most common zoom ranges and that can be useful when carrying multiple lenses isn't an option. At low light where we go to f4 and below the 22mm is the sharpest and maintains its sharpness throughout. The 50mm with the Viltrox speed booster becomes gradually sharper in the center and beats the 22mm in center sharpness at some of the higher of those low apertures, but the sharpness falls off at the edges badly. At f5.6 the 50mm without the booster has the sharpest edges, the 50mm with the booster has the sharpest center, and the 22mm isn't the sharpest anywhere, but is still consistent in the sharpness it does have throughout. The 55-250mm all the way down at 55mm (I was only able to test it there due to the room I was testing in being a limited size) doesn't win for sharpness anywhere. It is much better at giving sharpness when using its zoom. An optically zoomed 55-250mm will hands-down be sharper at the spot it is focused on than any of the other lenses in a situation where getting closer is not an option. It has its place and is great for bird watching and is strongest when looking at things far away that the other lenses would need a digital zoom to isolate which would destroy their resolution. At f8.0 the 50mm without the booster wins in overall sharpness as the corners catch up then surpass the sharpness of the 22mm. The 50mm with the booster still has the sharpest center, but the falloff in sharpness towards the edges is slowing down. The 22mm is still consistent throughout, but isn't the sharpest anywhere at this narrow aperture. If you want to use the 22mm in bright situations, I recommend you keep the aperture open around f4 and set the shutter speed high to compensate for the extra light. At f11 the 50mm without the speed booster wins at all parts of the image. It eclipses the center sharpness of the speed boosted one and beats the other lenses. The 22mm again doesn't win in sharpness at any part of the image, nor does the 55-250mm at 55mm. at f16+ diffraction ruins the 22mm's sharpness. The 50mm with and without the Viltrox speed booster perform the same. The 55-250mm is about the same as the 50mm. You can use this information to strategically apply lenses where they will work best. I hope this helps someone.
@@jacqodc3644 the 22mm is the better option, in my opinion. You need to manually fix the aberration from the speed booster 50mm combination in post processing while the 22mm is automatically fixed because it's native (as long as you download the profile to your camera or use DPP4 from Canon). Frankly, the only time I'd use the speed boosted 50mm is when I want to get a full-body portrait of someone indoors where I can't back up, but I don't want to get the background in the scene like the wider 22mm would. For portraits in most situations the 50mm with the regular adapter is best. For wider shots the 22mm is the sharpest of all of these listed lenses. The speed boosted 50mm feels out of place because it had such a niche use, but if you have it you get to enjoy particularly sharp centers, although it falls off a lot as you go towards the edges.
I feel like a macro would be my favourite cause where I am in England there's not a lot of traditional wildlife (mammals and reptiles) but I like doing a "micro safari" where I can appreciate the little critters I normally don't notice.
The Canon macro was a good part of why I picked the M6mk2. I’ve done a lot of close up shooting but never with a “real” macro lens. Also, trying to step up from 1” to APS, I didn’t want to give up macro abilities, even if it does mean swapping lenses. Still, I’m really impressed (vs my 35mm film memories) with how close the Canon lenses can get.
I just received the M50, excited to get started with it all. Your video I reference often lol soo much to absorb.I enjoy listening to you, your style & knowledge is soo appreciated!
The Canon EF-M 18-150mm is my favorite travel lens. For low light and night photos I use the Canon 32mm 1.4f. This combo keeps my camera gear light yet versatile. Sagi, thanks for showcasing these additional options. Also, can’t wait to hear your reviews of Canon R5 & R6. Sylvia
I'm waiting on my Canon m50 (also my first actual camera) to come in the mail, and your videos have been helpful for giving me a head start on familiarizing myself with the camera and the options. Thanks a bunch!
Great video , really valuable info for M50 , there are a lot of guys like me who look forward to videos like these for our M50 , keep it coming. We value these video. Appreciate you putting it together
Thanks so much. I rely on you for alll needed info for my M50 which I bought based on your previous review. It has made my life as a TH-camr much easier than if I had bought something blindly!
Thank you for your review. I’m thinking to buy the 22mm f2 for low lights situations. But what do you think about the 18-150mm ? I already have the kit lens 15-45mm but I’m hesitating to combine it with the 55-200mm or buy the 18-150mm to just have one polyvalent lens.
It has been a year, what did you end up doing? Personally, I went for the 22 and 55-200. I wanted the extra 50mm, and better optical performance (though it’ll probably never make a noticeable difference). 22 for low light, or compactness. If I was traveling and didn’t want to carry extra lenses, though, the 18-150 would be the one.
Uve been selling a two year old camera in such an amazing and convincing way! I was looking at the xt4 but the m50 now seems cheaper and great for youtube!!
Glad the videos are helpful. The xt4 is amazing - probably my favorite hybrid camera right now. I just like to show what you can do with beginner cameras.
Tech Gear Talk thank u! And u did!! Im actually considering it! Ive been shooting all my youtube content using just gopros! But i believe its time to improve image quality so was looking at a good hybrid! So xt4 but again the portability factor of the m50 and everything u said! Makes sooo much sense
Thanks man, you have help me a lot on my purchases for my Canon M50, right now I got the pancake 22mm and the sigma 30mm, I'm saving for the Macro lens now!
@@TechGearTalk , I have been a Cannon user for years after watching your comparison on the M50 and Sony 6000 series I went with my first Sony ever a6100 and love it , So yea Sony lens's next please! Love your reviews!
im lucky to came across your channel as I am starting my youtube channel (using smartphone). The more I watched your videos, the more interested I am in doing videography with the beginner cameras! You got my subs and I hope to learn more from your channel. great content!
Love your videos. I use the kit 15-45mm, the Canon EF 75-300mm with the EF-EFM adaptor, and recently bought the Sigma 30mm. I would say the downside of the 75-300mm is that it weighs more than the body, but it's extremely useful when shooting animals and the image quality is superb. Next, I'd probably get the EF-M 11-22mm for landscape photography, unless someone else makes an EF-M mount wide-angle lens. But I do want the other two Sigma lens, and possibly a macro lens (like the Sigma 70mm f/2.8 DG Macro Art) in the near future.
After searching through the comments for the past several minutes (obviously while on the toilet since that's the best time to do it) I stumbled upon a comment about whether this particular person in question should use the 55-200 lens and another one (I kinda forgot since it wasn't really important). The Tech Gear guy (can't remember his real name) replied by saying that something like the 18-150 lens is super versatile to take out with you for every day use. Hope your curiosity was somewhat fulfilled.
having watched more than my fair share of youtube video and photography channels and videos, coming back to listen to you is like a breath of fresh air. Very well thought through. Very comforting presentation style, and I believe every word. Feel really confident about the infor you publish. I think I've decided, Canon will have to be my next camera purchase - either APS-C or Full Frame. Still not sure about the choice of DSLR or Mirrorless - somewhat hard to decide. The pictures in this video are stunning and I almost cannot believe that such photography is possible with an M50, like the photos are way too good to be true. I also love the fact that you do not clog the TH-cam airwaves, with lots of gossip, rumour, and innuendos, or attempts at comedy, which can become irritating and pointless. Just straight to the point, methodical. It would be nice to see you smile. Without being comedic, you are allowed that. An occasional smile. The hallmark of a good video is when you are compelled to listen to it over and over again, as well as bookmark it, cos it really packed a punch. Lots of very useful info. Thanks. Requests 1. If you could do a review of the R5 and R6, I think yours is the one I want to listen to, over and over again, and see the pics and or videos you have taken with these cameras. 2. If you could do a similar video for the Canon or compatible EF mount lenses that can be used on with Canon full frame bodies or R mount bodies, superb. 3. Similar review of EF-S lenses i.e for APSC DSLR from Canon, will be wonderful... 4. Are there adaptors to make EF-M lenses usable on other Canon camera mounts, 5. And same question as above, but for EF-S lenses?
Thank you so much for the feedback. You're RIGHT!!! I need to smile more. 1. doing my best to get one 2. yes 3. th-cam.com/video/UUPqjPs5Iw8/w-d-xo.html 4. No 5. You can adapt Ef and EF-S to EF-M th-cam.com/video/O9hzhFpHEf4/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps. Thanks for being aprt of the channel.
@@TechGearTalk A quick check made me realise that more of your videos are focussed on the more affordable Canon cameras, which I respect and appreciate, Please do not fuss too much about getting hold of an R5 or R6, in order to enable your review. I am not likely to buy one of these higher end cameras, anytime soon. So please do not let my request place you under any undue pressure. I was only curious to see what kind of photos you would take, considering the already more than phenomenal results you get with relatively inexpensive cameras such as the M50. From what you have achieved with an APS-C camera, my current opinion is - Full frame should only become a consideration, only if I start shooting professionally and earn enough to justify the expense, or I simply have extra cash. I am now convinced from your photos, that an APS-C from Canon will be more than adequate for all of my needs.. Credit to your channel for helping me come to this conclusion.
I watched this video even though i dont plan on ever owning a canon, your sony videos are great, you're just a good presenter and I never clicked away. I appreciate the bloopers, thanks, nice to know we all screw up haha.
great M50 Video as usual! I just bought an M50 a couple months ago and I'm looking to get a new lens. I already have the 15-45mm kit lens. I think the bloopers at the end are a good idea...it's a good thing to get the viewer to laugh, even on serious videos.
I use the 22mm f2 with my M100 most of the time. Love it. I already had some EF-S lenses, so I bought an adapter off eBay and use it with a 50mm 1.8 and 35mm 2.8 macro. It makes it a little heavier than the 28mm macro would be, but still works really well. Great video!
For an all-around lens, I prefer the 22mm. It’s so compact and sharp. The 50 on the adapter is going to give you more of a short telephoto/portrait lens. Depends what kind if images you want.
@@TravisBlue1 thank you and in your opinion in low light adapter+lens 50mm can negative efect than just lense 22 mm? which lense is better in low light?
@@TobiasYoung so true, lights and a set are crucial. There are videos on photography sets for food on TH-cam, that give lots of light and a controlled environment. That said I think a 50mm f1.8 with an adapter would be my first choice, that isn’t too expensive
Your videos are longer but I always prefer to watch your video before buying anything. I don't know why but God has gifted you with such a precise and valuable information to share. Saw your review on Canon M6 and immediately bought it and pretty happy with my decision, my next video is going to be shot on that. Got the kit lens 18-55mm but also looking for other budget for more depth of field. Happy to be your subscriber, I'm an aspiring filmmaker.

Hi sir can you please make a video on Canon Rebel SL3 best lenses in 2020. I had checked the available video on your channel but it was 1 year ago .. it would be really helpful
Thanks , For Making this video. I'm one of the person who has asked for this particular video. You're a Good Person. Love your content and I do watch all the videos even though I have only m50.
Not sure if you will see my question since you did this video 4 years ago! What lens would you suggest for taking food photography photos? I have the kit lens for my Canon M50 and the Sigma 30mm.
I'm getting a headache for weeks getting all my stuff together. I'm getting into being a TH-camr pretty soon. it's hard to find what you really need as a beginner. thank you!!
Right at the start of our M50 journey - bought for video making/streaming to get more of our work online due to you-know-what and this was so interesting and informative - thank you! Will subscribe and be back! Happy holidays to you and yours, Peace. Phil.
Wonderful video! I got the M50 with the help of your advice and I haven’t regretted it. It’s main purpose is for travel and I always have the 22mm, 32mm and 55-200mm in my bag. They are compact and fit in the small camera bag I take on trips. All that and I can still go carry on only.
I've been using the 22mm with my M50 but recently upgraded (?) to the 11-22mm lens. I am finding that my weak old lady arms are struggling to one-hand the M50 and the 11-22mm lens...that tiny 22mm had me spoiled. Before I leave to do some curls with the 11-22, I wanted to commend you for your extremely polished video (and sweet Rex Banner outro). :)
Thank you so much Diane - I appreciate you sharing your journey. Yes, the 22 is so compact! I think most people don't realize that until they see it in real life and then the alternative. I hope the wider angle of view of the 11-22 offers some needed benefits (did you sell the 22?) Thank you for the kind words and for being part of the channel!
Brilliant information thank you. Now after pestering you about cameras and lens for so long (I am sorry), i think i know which camera to buy now lol. You asked for prices where we live about the M50 etc. I live in UK and on Canon site now: Canon EOS M50 in Black, EF-M 15-45mm IS STM, Backpack, SD Card and Spare Battery is £699.99. Camera Body, Black - £539.99 Canon EOS M50 Black, and EF-M 15-45mm IS STM Lens in Black - £649.99 Canon EOS M50 Black and EF-M 18-150mm IS STM £889.99 Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Lens - Graphite £264-99 Hope this helps and thank you so much for your patience and expertise and all your help. x
wow this was a mountain of useful information! really in depth on the specs but I also like that you give personal opinions and preferences. super good job!
I really enjoyed this video. I just bought an M50 as an upgrade for my old T5, and I am going to pick up the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 for the marketing photos of my dress store, the Canon 22mm f/2 for my youtube music videos, and just use the kit lens for everyday use. I also have a couple of nice telephoto lenses from my T5 that I will be using as well. This helped a lot!
I've seen a bunch of your videos and I've been trying to figure out what lenses to get with the canon m50 I'm finally ready to buy... Thanks for this video. Not sure why I hadn't subscribed before but I just did. Thanks again. :)
i have the 22mm and the 18-150mm is ef-m for my M50 and two adapters for my ef lenses .. i love the M-50 for a walk around camera when i don't want to carry my full frame. very well shot and produced video . thank you
Just got my first real camera, it came with the stock lens. Thanks for all the info, it’s way over my head at this point but when I’m ready to expand I’ve saved your video thanks!
I like how you explain everything. if it is possible to list all the basic things you do with this camera with Kit lenses like what type of photography or videos can be taken. Basic setting for Photos(portrait or street photos or videos etc). when you listen, you can't remember what you said. but in written setting lists, you can note it and look back if needed. The photography is now complicated and a lot of things added in digital tech. I just bought this camera with Kit lenses and watching your videos" how to do or operate this camera to get good photos and videos" THanks
Thank you for your tips. Bought the M50 ii this week, to become my new dive camera (housing is still on it's way). But I ordered the Sigma 56 1.4 the next day, and it is probably the sharpest lens that I had in a long time, like the Canon 50mm 1.4 on the FD mount on my old AE-1P
Love these videos! In need of adding a telephoto lens to my setup. Really looking forward to seeing about the EF adapter, and how it can open up the range of glass to use. You're great!
Great video as always! Currently I'm using a kit lens, but this year I'm planning to get myself both Sigma EF-M 16mm f/1.4 DC DN and Canon EF-M 55-200mm.
Nice video and very imformative. I have the 15-45, 55-200 and the 22mm Efm lenses and the only one I seem to use is the 22mm. It makes me think before shooting and the low light performance is stunning. I paid £99 for it here in the UK. I think the m50 is greatly underestimated as a stills camera but everyone here probably knows this😊
Excellent .. Amazing skillset of sharing all the necessary details for a newbie like me. Please share if M50 would be an ideal choice along with which lens for TH-cam Travel Vlogs. I previously would shoot on GoPro 8 but now decided to move to proper vlog setup. Thanks
Great video! Yes I would love a video on Macro lenses with the Canon M50. I am definitely into taking photos of insects and flowers! Thanks for great info. Judy
There's a 65mm 2x macro lens from Laowa that I got recently and it's pretty amazing. it's a pretty new lens, but I think it's the best native mount macro lens for the M series so far.
I agree! My favorite is the Sigma 16mm 1.4/f as well. I constantly revert to that lens as I find it so useful, especially in low light areas. I have the 56mm Sigma as well, but I find that I don’t use it as much as the 16mm.
Subscribed! You make great content and I am going through you M50 related videos as I have just bought one . I do have a question. Let's assume you have the M50 and a 5DM3 so you are more prone to buy EF glass because it will work with both. What would be the best EF lens that will give you an equivalent to 24-70 when using the 5DM3?
I watched this ages ago but I'm actually finally ready to buy the m50 now. Firstly, your way of presentation is sooo calming compared to all those other in your face videos so I could actually focus on what you were saying. Secondly, this was super informative and a good comparison of lenses that aren't overwhelming to beginners. I think I'm gonna opt for buying the body only (it's like £100 cheaper for body only 2nd hand in England) and then spend £150 ish getting the 22mm. I know I want that bokeh so I don't think there's any point wasting my time with the kit lens.
I know that on/off ramp.... is it state street? Lol maybe I can get some in person help. I've watched 200 camera related videos this week.. I found this video and learned alot so I watched 2 more and I've learned more in your 3 than I did in all the others I watched.. great detail for us newbies. Thanks!! I'm definitely interested in the macro video hopefully you've made it! That's really what I'm most interested in. Thanks again keep up the great job
Thanks for these amazing videos. i just got myself an M50 for music videos but don't know which lens to go for and also if i'll need an adapter or speed booster, please give me an advise on what to choose. thanks.
In case Sagi doesn't see this, I'd say stick with the 15-45 kit lens if it came with the camera. It may be all you need. The 11-22 wide angle would also be a good choice. Unless you have a big budget, avoid going crazy on lenses and pick up a decent external microphone. Good luck and have fun! 😎
Excellent video. Good job and thank you. I’ll be getting the 22 mm fixed and 32 mm. I have a kit lens. I think this will make a complete set up for my amateur self.
What would you suggest for overhead footage? I am using the m50 to film colored pencil tutorials. I can't find anything anywhere on TH-cam because so many people use their m50s for vlogging. I am loving your videos.
I have the 22mm and 55-200mm and I have the pancake lens 95% of the time and is good for food photography and architectural photos. I never use the kit lens anymore. Great video!
Great video man.. This was super helpful. Got to ask, Do you suggest I get the nifty fifty as a cheaper alternative to the sigma 56mm? Thanks in advance.
Hi man, i like your reviews about cameras and all stuffs. If we need help, for sure your videos do the job. I've a Canon M50 Mk II and i want to know which lenses is better for video (to have a wide image).
Hello Sagi. I've only had the M50 for two weeks, but in VERY brief testing I'm liking what I'm seeing from the full-frame EF 135mm F/2 lens adapted with the Canon EOS M2 adapter or Viltrox speed booster. The 135 is tremendous on FF for portraiture and stage, and it's so extremely sharp with wonderful micro-contrast that it makes photos that are very pleasantly croppable. Which means that on FF it gives me the equivalent of a 300mm F/2 (480mm F/2 on M50? Yikes!). I'm looking forward to further exploring what the 135 can do on the M50. I realize it's an "exotic," one of those lenses that yield results so very pretty that you might not use it often but you adore it when you do. I bought the M50 largely because of your enthusiasm and have not been disappointed. Am finding it exceeds expectations for video. I used it to shoot two events handheld, the first with "mobile" tripod, the second with a Sirui monopod - both worked well, but the Zhiyun Crane is looking tempting. I also use a Segway MiniPro for video - "ride and gun" for lots of fun, but not best in tight spaces or on rough terrain. Thank you again for these very helpful videos. P.S. I got the EF-S 10-18 and LOVE it for video - it's wonderful for capturing people close-up while including some of the surroundings; also for shooting in tight spaces, e.g., indoors. P.P.S. Audio is suprisingly "not too bad" on the M50! Good to know when I'm too lazy to attach external recorder and sync audio in post, or just want to travel light. That said, the M50 with Sony PCM-M10 handheld recorder mounted on top is cute! :-) (The long-discontinued M10 is phenomenal - audio pros love it. Price is still ~$230 on Ebay.)
Appreciate all the insight my friend 🙏 Another option is the Comica Audio amzn.to/2Ccb22v or the rode wireless go! (still super small and great audio!)
Thank you, Sagi. The Rode Wireless Go is extremely attractive, though I'm a bit tapped-out at present, having spent all of my discretionary funds on the M50 and gear. I do have the use of a pro recorder, the Sound Devices MixPre 6 II, and will undoubtedly record external audio with it for the M50 at some point. We bought the MixPre with a fundraiser, as it will be used to record events for several non-profit Sangha, school and community organizations, otherwise it would have been too rich for my blood. For wireless audio I have a VERY old (late 1990s) small Sony hookup that works pretty well but will need to be upgraded someday. BTW, non-profit work is extremely fun and rewarding and has an uncanny way of bringing income in through the back door. Also, working with a loose aggregation of like-minded seekers is tremendous. But, I'll stop blabbing. Thanks again!
Thanks for the video, really really interesting! Which of those lenses would be a good choice for vacation? (Architecture, street, some portrait...) I'm between the canon 22mm f2 / sigma 16mm 1.4 or sigma 30mm 1.4... Thank you once again!
Really nice to see that Ross from Friends got a tan, and knows everything about cameras.

I recently purchased the M50 with the 15-45mm and 55-200mm in a kit. This video has confirmed my choice of the Sigma 16mm as my next lens. I've never used anything but a point and shoot until now and I'm extremely thankful for your content that has helped me learn the ropes. My favorite gear channel!
Congrats on the setup you already have! I absolutely love the 16mm! Thank you so much for the kind words and for being part of the channel!
It’s great to finally see canon, sigma, and viltrox teaming up to make amazing lenses for the ef-m lens mount!
I have done thorough tests of the EF-M 22mm f2, the EF 50mm f1/8 with and without a Viltrox speed booster, the EF-M 15-45mm kit lens, and the EF-S 55-250mm IS STM lenses.
TL,DR: 22mm is sharpest when the aperture is open to f4 or larger and has consistent sharpness throughout the entire image at all f stops. 50mm without the booster is sharpest at f5.6+, but when speed boosted has greater center sharpness and worse middle and edge sharpness up until f11, where it has the same sharpness in the center with and without the booster. The zoom lens, predictably is the sharpest when you can't get close to a subject you want to focus on because optical zoom beats the heck out of digital zoom/cropping in. The kit lens isn't the sharpest at anything, but is versatile since it can cover most common zoom ranges and that can be useful when carrying multiple lenses isn't an option.
At low light where we go to f4 and below the 22mm is the sharpest and maintains its sharpness throughout. The 50mm with the Viltrox speed booster becomes gradually sharper in the center and beats the 22mm in center sharpness at some of the higher of those low apertures, but the sharpness falls off at the edges badly.
At f5.6 the 50mm without the booster has the sharpest edges, the 50mm with the booster has the sharpest center, and the 22mm isn't the sharpest anywhere, but is still consistent in the sharpness it does have throughout. The 55-250mm all the way down at 55mm (I was only able to test it there due to the room I was testing in being a limited size) doesn't win for sharpness anywhere. It is much better at giving sharpness when using its zoom. An optically zoomed 55-250mm will hands-down be sharper at the spot it is focused on than any of the other lenses in a situation where getting closer is not an option. It has its place and is great for bird watching and is strongest when looking at things far away that the other lenses would need a digital zoom to isolate which would destroy their resolution.
At f8.0 the 50mm without the booster wins in overall sharpness as the corners catch up then surpass the sharpness of the 22mm. The 50mm with the booster still has the sharpest center, but the falloff in sharpness towards the edges is slowing down. The 22mm is still consistent throughout, but isn't the sharpest anywhere at this narrow aperture. If you want to use the 22mm in bright situations, I recommend you keep the aperture open around f4 and set the shutter speed high to compensate for the extra light.
At f11 the 50mm without the speed booster wins at all parts of the image. It eclipses the center sharpness of the speed boosted one and beats the other lenses. The 22mm again doesn't win in sharpness at any part of the image, nor does the 55-250mm at 55mm.
at f16+ diffraction ruins the 22mm's sharpness. The 50mm with and without the Viltrox speed booster perform the same. The 55-250mm is about the same as the 50mm.
You can use this information to strategically apply lenses where they will work best. I hope this helps someone.
Bro I got a 50mm lens, should I buy the speedbooster to compensante or buy the 22mm lens?
@@jacqodc3644 the 22mm is the better option, in my opinion. You need to manually fix the aberration from the speed booster 50mm combination in post processing while the 22mm is automatically fixed because it's native (as long as you download the profile to your camera or use DPP4 from Canon). Frankly, the only time I'd use the speed boosted 50mm is when I want to get a full-body portrait of someone indoors where I can't back up, but I don't want to get the background in the scene like the wider 22mm would.
For portraits in most situations the 50mm with the regular adapter is best.
For wider shots the 22mm is the sharpest of all of these listed lenses.
The speed boosted 50mm feels out of place because it had such a niche use, but if you have it you get to enjoy particularly sharp centers, although it falls off a lot as you go towards the edges.
@@bodinian Thx for the info, you're a beast !!
I feel like a macro would be my favourite cause where I am in England there's not a lot of traditional wildlife (mammals and reptiles) but I like doing a "micro safari" where I can appreciate the little critters I normally don't notice.
That's good perspective Noah! Once you start exploring macro - a whole new world opens
The Canon macro was a good part of why I picked the M6mk2. I’ve done a lot of close up shooting but never with a “real” macro lens. Also, trying to step up from 1” to APS, I didn’t want to give up macro abilities, even if it does mean swapping lenses. Still, I’m really impressed (vs my 35mm film memories) with how close the Canon lenses can get.
I just received the M50, excited to get started with it all. Your video I reference often lol soo much to absorb.I enjoy listening to you, your style & knowledge is soo appreciated!
Thank you sir for this informative video . Appreciate your work it helped me a lot to decide which lens I have to buy . Love from India
The Canon EF-M 18-150mm is my favorite travel lens. For low light and night photos I use the Canon 32mm 1.4f. This combo keeps my camera gear light yet versatile. Sagi, thanks for showcasing these additional options. Also, can’t wait to hear your reviews of Canon R5 & R6. Sylvia
Appreciate the input - that's a great combo! I can't wait to get my hands on those 2. Thank you for being aprt of the channel Sylvia!
I'm waiting on my Canon m50 (also my first actual camera) to come in the mail, and your videos have been helpful for giving me a head start on familiarizing myself with the camera and the options. Thanks a bunch!
CONGRATS!!! So glad I could help. Thanks for being part of the channel!
Great video , really valuable info for M50 , there are a lot of guys like me who look forward to videos like these for our M50 , keep it coming. We value these video. Appreciate you putting it together
I'm so glad I am able to help. Thank you for the support!
His refined tone makes me enjoy his video
Just because of your videos, i am going to buy M50 as my first camera and as a profession of photography.
Glad I'm able to help! Best of luck with your new venture!
Very nice video, and all of your content. Learn a lot about cameras and lenses from you. now I am about to step up my quality of content ;)
Happy to help!
@@TechGearTalk DID you really use this kit lens to make nice quality pictures? I can not get sharpness with it. What could be my problem?
Thanks so much. I rely on you for alll needed info for my M50 which I bought based on your previous review. It has made my life as a TH-camr much easier than if I had bought something blindly!
Thank you for your review. I’m thinking to buy the 22mm f2 for low lights situations. But what do you think about the 18-150mm ? I already have the kit lens 15-45mm but I’m hesitating to combine it with the 55-200mm or buy the 18-150mm to just have one polyvalent lens.
It has been a year, what did you end up doing? Personally, I went for the 22 and 55-200. I wanted the extra 50mm, and better optical performance (though it’ll probably never make a noticeable difference). 22 for low light, or compactness. If I was traveling and didn’t want to carry extra lenses, though, the 18-150 would be the one.
Such a genuine person
Uve been selling a two year old camera in such an amazing and convincing way! I was looking at the xt4 but the m50 now seems cheaper and great for youtube!!
Glad the videos are helpful. The xt4 is amazing - probably my favorite hybrid camera right now. I just like to show what you can do with beginner cameras.
Tech Gear Talk thank u! And u did!! Im actually considering it! Ive been shooting all my youtube content using just gopros! But i believe its time to improve image quality so was looking at a good hybrid! So xt4 but again the portability factor of the m50 and everything u said! Makes sooo much sense
Tech Gear Talk although could u do a review on the sony zv1😁
Im looking at picking up the M50 and came across your channel a few days ago... Ive been binging your videos and subscried, really great stuff!!
Hope the videos are helpful. Thanks for joining the community! 🙏
@@TechGearTalk Your videos are definitely very helpful! Thanks! 👍
Getting real close to 100K subscribers! Can never have enough camera lenses. Great video, as always!
I'm a big believer in investing in lenses! Thank you for all the support my friend! Maybe by the end of the month?
Thanks man, you have help me a lot on my purchases for my Canon M50, right now I got the pancake 22mm and the sigma 30mm, I'm saving for the Macro lens now!
Great review! You should totallyyyy do one of these for the Sony alpha series ;)
Thank you so much! You are the 4th person (I think) who has already asked, so I guess I need to get to work!
@@TechGearTalk , I have been a Cannon user for years after watching your comparison on the M50 and Sony 6000 series I went with my first Sony ever a6100 and love it , So yea Sony lens's next please! Love your reviews!
Alright, another vote!
One more vote here! Also would be awesome a video about the configurations you use for any Alpha Serie 6000 (preferably A6100 😍)
Thank you for all the suggestions! Keep them coming!
im lucky to came across your channel as I am starting my youtube channel (using smartphone). The more I watched your videos, the more interested I am in doing videography with the beginner cameras! You got my subs and I hope to learn more from your channel. great content!
I'm glad you found the channel and that you are now part of it! I will have a lot more coming plus a new channel that will help you!
Love your videos. I use the kit 15-45mm, the Canon EF 75-300mm with the EF-EFM adaptor, and recently bought the Sigma 30mm. I would say the downside of the 75-300mm is that it weighs more than the body, but it's extremely useful when shooting animals and the image quality is superb. Next, I'd probably get the EF-M 11-22mm for landscape photography, unless someone else makes an EF-M mount wide-angle lens. But I do want the other two Sigma lens, and possibly a macro lens (like the Sigma 70mm f/2.8 DG Macro Art) in the near future.
Best, most informative on Canon EF-M.
Why wasn’t the Canon EF-M 18-150mm mentioned? It is my favorite EF-M lens and it is the most versatile.
After searching through the comments for the past several minutes (obviously while on the toilet since that's the best time to do it) I stumbled upon a comment about whether this particular person in question should use the 55-200 lens and another one (I kinda forgot since it wasn't really important). The Tech Gear guy (can't remember his real name) replied by saying that something like the 18-150 lens is super versatile to take out with you for every day use. Hope your curiosity was somewhat fulfilled.

I’m reading your comment in the toilet
@@A12Diary I approve of this.
@@laynef1lw made my day dude, made my day
@@A12Diary too haha
You are amazing in the way you explain complicated topics ... thanks a lot
Oh wow - that is so kind of you. Thank you for being part of the channel!
So many to choose from! You really give an amazing overview, but I’m still all over the place when it comes to make a choice.
having watched more than my fair share of youtube video and photography channels and videos, coming back to listen to you is like a breath of fresh air. Very well thought through. Very comforting presentation style, and I believe every word. Feel really confident about the infor you publish. I think I've decided, Canon will have to be my next camera purchase - either APS-C or Full Frame. Still not sure about the choice of DSLR or Mirrorless - somewhat hard to decide.
The pictures in this video are stunning and I almost cannot believe that such photography is possible with an M50, like the photos are way too good to be true.
I also love the fact that you do not clog the TH-cam airwaves, with lots of gossip, rumour, and innuendos, or attempts at comedy, which can become irritating and pointless.
Just straight to the point, methodical. It would be nice to see you smile. Without being comedic, you are allowed that. An occasional smile.
The hallmark of a good video is when you are compelled to listen to it over and over again, as well as bookmark it, cos it really packed a punch. Lots of very useful info. Thanks.
Requests
1. If you could do a review of the R5 and R6, I think yours is the one I want to listen to, over and over again, and see the pics and or videos you have taken with these cameras.
2. If you could do a similar video for the Canon or compatible EF mount lenses that can be used on with Canon full frame bodies or R mount bodies, superb.
3. Similar review of EF-S lenses i.e for APSC DSLR from Canon, will be wonderful...
4. Are there adaptors to make EF-M lenses usable on other Canon camera mounts,
5. And same question as above, but for EF-S lenses?
Thank you so much for the feedback. You're RIGHT!!! I need to smile more.
1. doing my best to get one
2. yes
3. th-cam.com/video/UUPqjPs5Iw8/w-d-xo.html
4. No
5. You can adapt Ef and EF-S to EF-M th-cam.com/video/O9hzhFpHEf4/w-d-xo.html
Hope that helps. Thanks for being aprt of the channel.
@@TechGearTalk A quick check made me realise that more of your videos are focussed on the more affordable Canon cameras, which I respect and appreciate, Please do not fuss too much about getting hold of an R5 or R6, in order to enable your review. I am not likely to buy one of these higher end cameras, anytime soon. So please do not let my request place you under any undue pressure. I was only curious to see what kind of photos you would take, considering the already more than phenomenal results you get with relatively inexpensive cameras such as the M50. From what you have achieved with an APS-C camera, my current opinion is - Full frame should only become a consideration, only if I start shooting professionally and earn enough to justify the expense, or I simply have extra cash. I am now convinced from your photos, that an APS-C from Canon will be more than adequate for all of my needs.. Credit to your channel for helping me come to this conclusion.
Glad I could help. I would also not get a full frame sensor unless I was making money off of it.
Thanks, I need a second camera on a budget to shoot some TH-cam videos to go with my EOS-R and thinking that I'll pick up a Canon M50.
You are very welcome - glad it was helpful!
I watched this video even though i dont plan on ever owning a canon, your sony videos are great, you're just a good presenter and I never clicked away. I appreciate the bloopers, thanks, nice to know we all screw up haha.
You're the man!, I want to add 55-200mm for my M50. Thanks for the rich insight as always.
PS: The bloopers;
LOl! You can throw the lens, why not!!
LOL... throw the lens... I need a GoFundMe or more channel members 😂🤣
Glad they are helpful.
great M50 Video as usual! I just bought an M50 a couple months ago and I'm looking to get a new lens. I already have the 15-45mm kit lens. I think the bloopers at the end are a good idea...it's a good thing to get the viewer to laugh, even on serious videos.
Thank you for the kind words and for the feedback regarding the bloopers - super appreciated 🙏
Why is this video so cleeeeean man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much Terry 👊
Why is this video so clean, man?*
I use the 22mm f2 with my M100 most of the time. Love it. I already had some EF-S lenses, so I bought an adapter off eBay and use it with a 50mm 1.8 and 35mm 2.8 macro. It makes it a little heavier than the 28mm macro would be, but still works really well. Great video!
Nice Travis! Appreciate you sharing all the info. Thanks for the support!
which one is better?22mm f2 or 50 1.8 with adapter??
For an all-around lens, I prefer the 22mm. It’s so compact and sharp. The 50 on the adapter is going to give you more of a short telephoto/portrait lens. Depends what kind if images you want.
@@TravisBlue1 thank you and in your opinion in low light adapter+lens 50mm can negative efect than just lense 22 mm? which lense is better in low light?
It’s pretty close. You get like a third of a stop more with the 1.8. So, the 50 by just a bit.
So clear and precise. Very well made videos. Thanks for all the work it takes.
Do you have a suggestion for a great lens for food photography in a kitchen using mostly natural light!?? Thank you in advance
I would start with the kit lens and upgrade from there once you know which focal length you need (and only IF you need an upgrade).
Tech Gear Talk oh ok cool! I have the kit lens!
@@TobiasYoung yup, I would say invest in lights before investing in lenses. the kit lens covers the basic
@@TechGearTalk do the 75-300mm leans work for the canon M50
@@TobiasYoung so true, lights and a set are crucial. There are videos on photography sets for food on TH-cam, that give lots of light and a controlled environment.
That said I think a 50mm f1.8 with an adapter would be my first choice, that isn’t too expensive
Your videos are longer but I always prefer to watch your video before buying anything. I don't know why but God has gifted you with such a precise and valuable information to share.
Saw your review on Canon M6 and immediately bought it and pretty happy with my decision, my next video is going to be shot on that.
Got the kit lens 18-55mm but also looking for other budget for more depth of field.
Happy to be your subscriber, I'm an aspiring filmmaker.
I’m super glad I could help. Thank you for the kind words.
NOTE: Ben Schuette pointed out to me that I said "M6mkii larger sensor" - it's a higher resolution sensor, not larger sensor 32MP M6mkii vs 24MP on the M50

Hi sir can you please make a video on Canon Rebel SL3 best lenses in 2020. I had checked the available video on your channel but it was 1 year ago .. it would be really helpful
I can only get my m50 to shoot 21 megapixels. Do you have to shoot in raw to get the full 24 megapixels?
Your video are very helpfull for biginer photographer and videographer.. You explain very well... And Good quality video..... Love from india
Thanks , For Making this video. I'm one of the person who has asked for this particular video. You're a Good Person. Love your content and I do watch all the videos even though I have only m50.
You are very welcome - I very much appreciate your support and I will continue to create content!
Not sure if you will see my question since you did this video 4 years ago! What lens would you suggest for taking food photography photos? I have the kit lens for my Canon M50 and the Sigma 30mm.
Excellent video I’m definitely picking up the Canon M50. The glass you showed looks high quality and affordable.
I'm getting a headache for weeks getting all my stuff together. I'm getting into being a TH-camr pretty soon. it's hard to find what you really need as a beginner. thank you!!
Right at the start of our M50 journey - bought for video making/streaming to get more of our work online due to you-know-what and this was so interesting and informative - thank you! Will subscribe and be back! Happy holidays to you and yours, Peace. Phil.
I did not realize just how much larger (less tiny?) the Sigma lenses were until you pulled one out. Daaang!
Wonderful video! I got the M50 with the help of your advice and I haven’t regretted it. It’s main purpose is for travel and I always have the 22mm, 32mm and 55-200mm in my bag. They are compact and fit in the small camera bag I take on trips. All that and I can still go carry on only.
So glad I was able to help. That is a fantastic setup - super complimentary setup.
I find my favourite is the 11-22mm
It’s the one I keep on the body, as it’s super sharp and has a similar FOV to a smart phone.
I've been using the 22mm with my M50 but recently upgraded (?) to the 11-22mm lens. I am finding that my weak old lady arms are struggling to one-hand the M50 and the 11-22mm lens...that tiny 22mm had me spoiled. Before I leave to do some curls with the 11-22, I wanted to commend you for your extremely polished video (and sweet Rex Banner outro). :)
Thank you so much Diane - I appreciate you sharing your journey. Yes, the 22 is so compact! I think most people don't realize that until they see it in real life and then the alternative. I hope the wider angle of view of the 11-22 offers some needed benefits (did you sell the 22?) Thank you for the kind words and for being part of the channel!
Very nice instructional video narrated with great charisma! In two words: awesome quality! Thank you!
Perfect video and explanation! You really helped me make an educated decision on which lens to buy next. Thank you so much!
So glad I was able to help. Thanks for supporting and being part of the channel 🙏🏻

wow this was a mountain of useful information! really in depth on the specs but I also like that you give personal opinions and preferences. super good job!
I really appreciate the candid feedback. Thanks for being part of the channel!
I really enjoyed this video. I just bought an M50 as an upgrade for my old T5, and I am going to pick up the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 for the marketing photos of my dress store, the Canon 22mm f/2 for my youtube music videos, and just use the kit lens for everyday use. I also have a couple of nice telephoto lenses from my T5 that I will be using as well. This helped a lot!
I've seen a bunch of your videos and I've been trying to figure out what lenses to get with the canon m50 I'm finally ready to buy... Thanks for this video. Not sure why I hadn't subscribed before but I just did. Thanks again. :)
i have the 22mm and the 18-150mm is ef-m for my M50 and two adapters for my ef lenses .. i love the M-50 for a walk around camera when i don't want to carry my full frame. very well shot and produced video . thank you
I'm right there with you about not wanting to carry a FF if I don't have to. Thanks for the insight Trever (and for being part of the channel!)

Just got my first real camera, it came with the stock lens. Thanks for all the info, it’s way over my head at this point but when I’m ready to expand I’ve saved your video thanks!
Congrats!!! Glad it was helpful. I always recommend the stock (kit) lens because of: th-cam.com/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/w-d-xo.html
I like how you explain everything. if it is possible to list all the basic things you do with this camera with Kit lenses like what type of photography or videos can be taken. Basic setting for Photos(portrait or street photos or videos etc). when you listen, you can't remember what you said. but in written setting lists, you can note it and look back if needed. The photography is now complicated and a lot of things added in digital tech. I just bought this camera with Kit lenses and watching your videos" how to do or operate this camera to get good photos and videos" THanks
Thank you for your tips. Bought the M50 ii this week, to become my new dive camera (housing is still on it's way). But I ordered the Sigma 56 1.4 the next day, and it is probably the sharpest lens that I had in a long time, like the Canon 50mm 1.4 on the FD mount on my old AE-1P
I love your channel. I'm deciding on which lens to use but I will use one of your links so you can get an added benefit. Keep up the good work.
Appreciate the kind words 🙏 glad it was helpful. Thank you so much for the support!
Love these videos! In need of adding a telephoto lens to my setup. Really looking forward to seeing about the EF adapter, and how it can open up the range of glass to use. You're great!
Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback 🙏 I've got that video coming!
By the far the best video about Cannon M50 lenses, thank you so much!! Keep it up.
So glad it was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Wow, I’ve been watching your videos a lot and was going to pickup a m50 today. It’s funny to see you do a m50 video today.
Glad I could help! Thank you for being part of and supporting the channel!
Great video as always! Currently I'm using a kit lens, but this year I'm planning to get myself both Sigma EF-M 16mm f/1.4 DC DN and Canon EF-M 55-200mm.
Thank you so much for sharing - those are two great lenses!
Nice video and very imformative. I have the 15-45, 55-200 and the 22mm Efm lenses and the only one I seem to use is the 22mm. It makes me think before shooting and the low light performance is stunning. I paid £99 for it here in the UK. I think the m50 is greatly underestimated as a stills camera but everyone here probably knows this😊
Appreciate all the info John A! You read my mind for making this video: th-cam.com/video/WhR_MSBqRBA/w-d-xo.html
Excellent .. Amazing skillset of sharing all the necessary details for a newbie like me.
Please share if M50 would be an ideal choice along with which lens for TH-cam Travel Vlogs.
I previously would shoot on GoPro 8 but now decided to move to proper vlog setup.
Thanks
Its a cool tempered and intimate review at the same time on the subject I just needed closed. Thanks!
Really good video, incredibly helpful for beginners! What lenses would you recommend for landscape photography, good sir?
Some of the best videos on youtube are on your channel. Thanks for what u do man
Great video! Yes I would love a video on Macro lenses with the Canon M50. I am definitely into taking photos of insects and flowers! Thanks for great info. Judy
Thank you and will do! Thanks for being part of the channel!
There's a 65mm 2x macro lens from Laowa that I got recently and it's pretty amazing. it's a pretty new lens, but I think it's the best native mount macro lens for the M series so far.
I agree! My favorite is the Sigma 16mm 1.4/f as well. I constantly revert to that lens as I find it so useful, especially in low light areas. I have the 56mm Sigma as well, but I find that I don’t use it as much as the 16mm.
Super appreciate you sharing Jeremy! Thank you for being part of and contributing to the channel!
Great video as always. Congratulations for the quality and work.
Thank you! Cheers! Appreciate you!
Subscribed! You make great content and I am going through you M50 related videos as I have just bought one .
I do have a question. Let's assume you have the M50 and a 5DM3 so you are more prone to buy EF glass because it will work with both. What would be the best EF lens that will give you an equivalent to 24-70 when using the 5DM3?
Great video! I bought my Canon M50 Travel kit for 599 Euro here in Germany. Comes with the kit lens, travel bag, 16 GB memory card!
Congrats!!
Wow! I think I'm going to learn a lot by having subscribed. Thank you.
I watched this ages ago but I'm actually finally ready to buy the m50 now.
Firstly, your way of presentation is sooo calming compared to all those other in your face videos so I could actually focus on what you were saying. Secondly, this was super informative and a good comparison of lenses that aren't overwhelming to beginners. I think I'm gonna opt for buying the body only (it's like £100 cheaper for body only 2nd hand in England) and then spend £150 ish getting the 22mm. I know I want that bokeh so I don't think there's any point wasting my time with the kit lens.
I know that on/off ramp.... is it state street? Lol maybe I can get some in person help. I've watched 200 camera related videos this week.. I found this video and learned alot so I watched 2 more and I've learned more in your 3 than I did in all the others I watched.. great detail for us newbies. Thanks!! I'm definitely interested in the macro video hopefully you've made it! That's really what I'm most interested in. Thanks again keep up the great job
Thanks for these amazing videos. i just got myself an M50 for music videos but don't know which lens to go for and also if i'll need an adapter or speed booster, please give me an advise on what to choose. thanks.
In case Sagi doesn't see this, I'd say stick with the 15-45 kit lens if it came with the camera. It may be all you need. The 11-22 wide angle would also be a good choice. Unless you have a big budget, avoid going crazy on lenses and pick up a decent external microphone. Good luck and have fun! 😎
Great video. Any recommendations for food photography?
Excellent video. Good job and thank you. I’ll be getting the 22 mm fixed and 32 mm. I have a kit lens. I think this will make a complete set up for my amateur self.
So glad I could help Michael. Enjoy the gear!
Thank you so much! Your videos are wonderful and make life so much easier for us "newbies" to cameras!
So glad I can help Sally
As usual great video! Which efm lens would you recommend for astrophotography?
Thank you very much for this super nice and detailed description. It's great video!! Two thumbs up!!
I liked it a lot!
You are awesome! I love your professional manner, but you still want us to know exactly what is needed. Thanks for not including any bs!
Super glad you’re enjoying the videos Alex. Thanks for being part of the channel!
What would you suggest for overhead footage? I am using the m50 to film colored pencil tutorials. I can't find anything anywhere on TH-cam because so many people use their m50s for vlogging. I am loving your videos.
I have the 22mm and 55-200mm and I have the pancake lens 95% of the time and is good for food photography and architectural photos. I never use the kit lens anymore. Great video!
Appreciate you sharing!
Thank you so much, this video helped me decide that all I need is the Canon 32mm 1.4!
Glad I could help! Thank you for being part of the channel!
Great video man.. This was super helpful.
Got to ask, Do you suggest I get the nifty fifty as a cheaper alternative to the sigma 56mm?
Thanks in advance.
thanks for the info..recently i watch ur vid most for lense details
Another outstanding video. I have the 11-22mm and really like the look and compactness of it.
Thanks so much Brett! It's definitely a versatile lens and I'm starting to really appreciate how compact this system is!
Hi man, i like your reviews about cameras and all stuffs. If we need help, for sure your videos do the job. I've a Canon M50 Mk II and i want to know which lenses is better for video (to have a wide image).
Hello Sagi. I've only had the M50 for two weeks, but in VERY brief testing I'm liking what I'm seeing from the full-frame EF 135mm F/2 lens adapted with the Canon EOS M2 adapter or Viltrox speed booster. The 135 is tremendous on FF for portraiture and stage, and it's so extremely sharp with wonderful micro-contrast that it makes photos that are very pleasantly croppable. Which means that on FF it gives me the equivalent of a 300mm F/2 (480mm F/2 on M50? Yikes!). I'm looking forward to further exploring what the 135 can do on the M50. I realize it's an "exotic," one of those lenses that yield results so very pretty that you might not use it often but you adore it when you do. I bought the M50 largely because of your enthusiasm and have not been disappointed. Am finding it exceeds expectations for video. I used it to shoot two events handheld, the first with "mobile" tripod, the second with a Sirui monopod - both worked well, but the Zhiyun Crane is looking tempting. I also use a Segway MiniPro for video - "ride and gun" for lots of fun, but not best in tight spaces or on rough terrain. Thank you again for these very helpful videos. P.S. I got the EF-S 10-18 and LOVE it for video - it's wonderful for capturing people close-up while including some of the surroundings; also for shooting in tight spaces, e.g., indoors. P.P.S. Audio is suprisingly "not too bad" on the M50! Good to know when I'm too lazy to attach external recorder and sync audio in post, or just want to travel light. That said, the M50 with Sony PCM-M10 handheld recorder mounted on top is cute! :-) (The long-discontinued M10 is phenomenal - audio pros love it. Price is still ~$230 on Ebay.)
Appreciate all the insight my friend 🙏
Another option is the Comica Audio amzn.to/2Ccb22v or the rode wireless go! (still super small and great audio!)
Thank you, Sagi. The Rode Wireless Go is extremely attractive, though I'm a bit tapped-out at present, having spent all of my discretionary funds on the M50 and gear. I do have the use of a pro recorder, the Sound Devices MixPre 6 II, and will undoubtedly record external audio with it for the M50 at some point. We bought the MixPre with a fundraiser, as it will be used to record events for several non-profit Sangha, school and community organizations, otherwise it would have been too rich for my blood. For wireless audio I have a VERY old (late 1990s) small Sony hookup that works pretty well but will need to be upgraded someday. BTW, non-profit work is extremely fun and rewarding and has an uncanny way of bringing income in through the back door. Also, working with a loose aggregation of like-minded seekers is tremendous. But, I'll stop blabbing. Thanks again!
Appreciate you sharing some of your story 🙏
Thanks for the video, really really interesting!
Which of those lenses would be a good choice for vacation? (Architecture, street, some portrait...) I'm between the canon 22mm f2 / sigma 16mm 1.4 or sigma 30mm 1.4...
Thank you once again!
thankyou for the info, I'm interested in the m50 mark 2
