I'm relatively new to the M50 and your videos have given me quite a few tips, thanks for your hard work. I use 4 of these cameras in my studio, as well as a C100, and they're great. I picked up the 22mm f2 and its my main "talking ahead" lens now. Cheers!
I'm glad you did a review of this lens since It was included when I bought my camera. I now use it (instead of the kit lens) for all my talking head videos because it does a better job of blurring the background. I like your reference to this lens being a "friend" lens. I also use it for portrait photos
I shot an entire indoor video on the 11-22mm with M50, and it looked crisp on the camera, but once on the PC, there was so much noise! I had to re-shoot it all with the 22mm...the extra light made all the difference.
I'm about a month and a half into owning my m50 and I'm in love with it. Going to invest in the 22mm. Thank you for such a clear and detailed explanation of this!
I have watched tons of your videos. Just wanted to drop a note and say I appreciate what you do. I've been shooting with the m50 for a couple years and it's nice to see the m50 stuff you do. - Tony
I would highly recommend this lens. I basically use it for all my talking head studio shots. Auto-focus on this works great and shallow depth of field is good even in a small room. I was hoping that you would have done some low-light testing of this lens. For future videos I am interested in comparing this to the Sigma 16mm and seeing if the image quality is any better.
Just bought a secondhand m50+22mm lens for $400, this going to be my very 1st camera after just been using iphone camera my whole life, and I wanted to step up my game a lil bit and grow my TH-cam channel, it seems like I did not make the wrong choice with this camera+lens combination. Can’t wait for mine arrive
I have the 22mm lens, bought it after you suggested it thanks, and I use it alot. Very good lens thats super small and light and works pretty good in low light. Thanks again for the recommendation!
I love my 22 mm lens for indoor shots. The f2 makes it so much easier to work with indoors than the kit lens. Of course, I've used the kit lens indoors but the extra light of the f2 makes it so much easier and is a good compromise between the 15 and 45 mm extreme ranges of the kit lens too. If only the 11-22 mm wide-angle lens were an f2, now that would be a serious walk and talk vlogging lens. It's still pretty good as is but the extra light would be a huge help. Great video.
If you want a brighter zoom, consider a speed booster and a full-frame lens just for indoor stuff. A 0.71x adapter will "open up" an f4 lens to f2.8, an f2.8 to f2, and an f1.8 to f1.2. Meanwhile, the focal range performs very closely to original as if it were on a full-frame camera. For example, a 16-35 f2.8 L offers a FF field of view of 18-40, a 24-105 becomes 27-120, and a 70-200 becomes 80-228.
I´m looking for a versatile lens for my m50, wanted to do some video and shoot some portraits with it. Should I get this one? Or invest in something better? Obviously, there is no correct answer but would appreciate some tips. Thank you!
@@dwsvlogs97 It is small, it's still the main lens I use. But the 22mm is significantly smaller it seems. Been researching it a bit more, and it sounds like the 22mm does pretty well with the M50's internal digital IS. Considering how inexpensive it is, and that it's a native prime lens, I'm definitely going to pick one up soon.
Thanks for your review on this lens... I am already planning for this lens upgrade... My only worry is about IS if i take videos when i walk with this lens
@@TheCrowleyCrew okay.. Here in my place this specific lens is not available for immediate delivery.. I have to wait for two weeks once i place order.. Till then i will explore more on kit lens 😀😀
The studio shot was wonderful - wow, it does indeed look friendly and human - what is that? Is it a nice color gradation quality of the 22mm lens? On another topic, I would love to see a comparison of the 22mm with the Canon 35mm F/2 IS USM with Viltrox Speed Booster on the M50, shooting at (effective) F/1.4. What would that look like?
I had the color balance set to shade or cloudy but my light was a 5500k light. Other than that it is normal settings. That slight compression though makes a huge difference. I would like to try that one, but I doubt I’ll get the chance.
This is a lens i was REALLY surprised you haven't done a video on this lens before this. I bought this one the same week i got my m50 way back when. I still use it for my m6 Mk2 in conjunction with my Sigma 16mm
Love this! Your videos are always a wealth of information, thank you 🙏🏾& the quality was so crisp outdoors! Got my M50 late last year & am finally pretty comfortable using it in the studio but I’ve been so intimated to take it outdoors 😭 Would love to what your settings were?
I use an M50II alongside a 5DIV and 90D. It does my gimbal work... and more! I've enjoyed the EFS 24 pancake lens (with adapter), but I've love to replace it with the 22 in order to fully benefit from the amazingly small size. The focal range and IQ are not appreciably different; here, it's all about ergonomics, and for that I love the M series.
I'm using M50 with the kit lens for almost a year and thinking to get the 22mm f2🤔 is it also good for my video? something like cooking vlog kinda style video?
Thanks for making this review I’m still thinking if I should buy this lens the fact that doesn’t have the IS worries me. Btw what kind of tripod is the one that you are using outdoors at the start of this video? The one with blue legs, I can’t find the link in your description for that one 😊I’m just looking for a good light weight tripod. Thanks 😊
My favorite EF-M lens. I got it with the original EOS M. Never really use it, since the AF is too slow on EOS M. After I got my M50, I am using it with my M50 most of the time.
For me it would depend on how long you’re going to keep it. If you’re going to upgrade next month then I probably wouldn’t, if you’re going to be waiting for 6 months or so I would.
Mostly vlog. The few professional things I have done don’t belong to my so I don’t share them. Though I am a cabinet installer by trade so I don’t have much professional video work.
I am in love with all your videos and setup. The work you do is amazing all the lenses and equipments you shoe are worth buying. Do you edit or do color grading to your videos. They are pretty sharp and well composed.
Did you film the studio shot with the M50? For some reason there seems to be a weird green cast to your skin on your face. Maybe it was the lighting? Made me think of early Sony colors.
This lens is always on my M50. Except for video. Then I use the kit lens. Canon needs a few primes with IS for the M mount. I would also love a 12-30 f4 zoom for this system (with IS of course) that would be such a nice range to have. And maybe a 50-150 f4 with IS as well. I can alway dream😱
I love the 22mm such a great lens, I got it after speaking to the Canon Live Chat and I do not regret it. It is so small that even if you do not think you will need it, you might as well take it with you. If anyone wants to speak to the Canon Live Chat, here is a link www.canon.co.uk/canonlive/live-chat/?
Hey I really like your channel as user of m50 (mark I) and appreciate your knowledge, good job. Maybe You could help with my problem with this 22mm f2 lens. Everytime when I try to record talking head video with af facetracking, no matter if it's in my hand or on a tripod - my eyes are blurry.. Only if I stand absolutely static my eyes stay sharp.. Please let me know if u had that issue with this lens. It's really annoying and i couldn't find any slution in google..
Just finished binge watching all the videos what am I gonna do now?! 🤔😐😑 Great content btw! Hopefully I put what I learn into practice soon! (Introvert Scaries)
Job, Right now I predominantly use the Canon 24mm F 1.8 (EF-S) with a Commlite EF to EF-M adapter for live streaming, etc. Do you think my audience would notice the subtle change in FOV? For me, it would be nice if I could get the camera a little closer to me, but not $300 CAD, unless my audience would get a better experience, you know? Also, Curtis Judd was kind enough to take a look at my setup in his live stream today (th-cam.com/video/mqUlBNkl7s8/w-d-xo.html) and a couple of folks, including Curtis, recommended I bump up the saturation. I use your neutral colour profile right now. Can you recommend a tweak that will help? Thanks! Rob
The Crowley Crew Yeah, I really was having a hard time justifying the purchase. I really can’t justify it, but bought it anyways. I just find that I use that lens more than my kit lens. The image is pretty great and I love the bokeh! I also love having a larger lens to hold onto compared to the tiny kit lens.
Hey man, absolutely love your content. Its helped me so much with my inline skating channel (filming on the m50). Please could you recommend a lens for filming a skater (filmer also on skates) doing a line of tricks? You can checkout my last video if you want a demo of what i mean (shameless plug 🤣). Am i better off getting a lens for my m50 like the 22mm or should i invest in a gopro? What do you think?
I’ve been using this lens for all of my filming. Used it for my latest backpacking trip to West Virginia and it worked great: th-cam.com/video/xhDtVSMXQGE/w-d-xo.html

hy, can the 22mm be used for real estate video (where shot wide(ness) is the priority) and can it be used in low light?
Bought my M50 about a month ago. Love it. Learning curve for me....great channel and thanks for all your knowledge!!
Scotts PC you’ll love the camera. Nifty and you can improve your photography as you go along. A few professionals use the m50 too
Just found your channel and it is very refreshing to watch for someone who owns a Canon M50

I love the 11-22mm but I struggle with the noise too! If it isn’t super bright you can forget the crisp footage
I have the 22mm and it is a fantastic lens, pin sharp and great colour rendering. Definitely notice the difference between it and the kit lens.
The M50 and 22mm is such a great combo to take on travel trips.
Definitely. Or just out and about taking pics of the family.
Bro I felt that fall. Good save on the camera. I only skate and vlog when I’m trying to get a rolling shot haha.

I am trying to get that lens. When I do I plan to do a bunch of videos on it.
Second that
I use the 22mm pancake 98% of the time. I take food and urban photography and its perfect for both disciplines.
Great suggestion regarding the ND filter size. Thanks! You've got a new subscriber!
It was the first EF-M lens I've owned. After spending $1000 on other lenses I enjoy, I still use it 80% of the time.
Great advice on the step up ring. I was literally in the market for ND filters so this was perfect. Great video btw as usual.
I miss the m50 vlogs 😮

Did you ever try the sigma 1.4? I got mine and love it. Sure it’s larger than the pancake but it’s that much faster!
I haven’t yet but I am trying to get one.
@@TheCrowleyCrew $$$ right? LOL same here.
sigma 16mm 1.4 is my new favorite lens!
Yep $$$
Love this lens, notifications gang checking in
Dope! notification gang is the best!
Really love this lens, I bought it pretty recently and have not regretted it what so ever.

Nice thumbnail! Are you using photoshop to make them?
With this one I used Snapseed (which I almost always use) but then I sent it to my friend Cody Scott and he color graded it.
@@TheCrowleyCrew Nice, but how did you get the text to go behind like in layers.
There is a way to erase parts of any editing layer. I am planning to make a video on thumbnails soon.
I love this lens and use it most of the time
The 22mm would've been nice if it had image stabilization.
Oh yeah.
Hell ya!
True, but then it would be quite a bit larger I think, right?

is the Canon M50 footage edited?
Amazing review!
Greetings from Philippines
Thank you!
oh man! I am struggling now if after my kit lens to get the 50mm or the 22mm!!!
I am hoping to release a 50mm vs 22mm video this week if I can get to it.
@@TheCrowleyCrew that will be awesome!!!
Consider a sigma 30mm 1.4 made for Canon M cameras
I bought 22mm lens last January, love the lens, good for photography and video! :)
I really want to buy this one for b roll stuff,but If I switch to R system in future,this lens would be useless.what would you suggest?
For me it would depend on how long you’re going to keep it. If you’re going to upgrade next month then I probably wouldn’t, if you’re going to be waiting for 6 months or so I would.
If I were to buy a camera today would you tell me to buy the canon M50 or wait for the Canon M50 mark ii?
I am just not sure about that. I like the M50 but I am not even sure when the Mark ii is coming.
Whats your thoughts on the sigma 16mm 1.4?
Hey Job, do you have any videos that you do professionally with the m50 on another channel or is all of it vlog content? love the channel!
Mostly vlog. The few professional things I have done don’t belong to my so I don’t share them. Though I am a cabinet installer by trade so I don’t have much professional video work.
how does this compare to the native 11-22mm ?
It is a little sharper and has a much brighter image and shallow depth of field at 22mm
I am in love with all your videos and setup. The work you do is amazing all the lenses and equipments you shoe are worth buying. Do you edit or do color grading to your videos. They are pretty sharp and well composed.
hi sir excellent video this 22mm is concidered like a 35mm on APS C ?
What is the song called that you use in the background of the video?
It is called Angel Dust on epidemic sounds.
What is the highest ISO in low light that you could use on the M50 with this 22mm lens where the pictures are still usable (not for print)?
I don’t go above 3200.
I have a m50 going to buy this Lens Lol cool any advice on the settings for video?
Price is the variable you missed, this lens is a great value for money
Did you film the studio shot with the M50? For some reason there seems to be a weird green cast to your skin on your face. Maybe it was the lighting? Made me think of early Sony colors.
My white balance was set wrong.
Saw you there!
In Mayfair?

Hi i have a question about 4k on the m50 with this lens. Does it cancel out the crop using this lens?
No. The only way to change the crop is with a speed booster and EF lenses.
Have you been taking helium?
lmao that looked like a serious fall, nice vid man
Yes, we all call it the canon m50 channel.
This lens is always on my M50. Except for video. Then I use the kit lens. Canon needs a few primes with IS for the M mount. I would also love a 12-30 f4 zoom for this system (with IS of course) that would be such a nice range to have. And maybe a 50-150 f4 with IS as well. I can alway dream😱
