Question of the Day ⚡ What lenses are using on the Canon M50? Let me know! 👇 **** Watch other videos on the Canon M50 here: ➡️ th-cam.com/video/8dLMCyD2-UM/w-d-xo.html
My lenses: Canon EF 18-135 Canon EF 100mm L IS 2.8 (This is my dream lens and with Viltrox adapter, I can go f 2.0 and the crop at 0.71) Sigma EF-M 16MM 1.4
Right now I have the kit lens. It's the only ef-m lens I have. I got 2 viltrox adapters the standard one that takes EF and EF-S and the speed booster that only takes EF lenses. Then I have a 50mm. F1.8, a 55-200 EF AF and an 18-55 EF-S which has AF and IS. I feel I'm almost all set. I would love to have an EF-M 55-200 though.
I just got the M50mkII and it has the kit 15-45mm EFM lens. I am using my Tamron 18-400mm EF with the Viltrox adapter. Works great!! The lens is bigger than the camera. I haven't tried my Tamron SP45mm lens yet. (tried it and it works!!) I am not using it for streaming or TH-cam, will use mostly for photos, so it will work good for me. One day I might buy some more EF-M lenses, but I don't want to take too much space, I also have my Canon 80D and the lenses are great on that camera too. The 18-400mm is a little long and heavy, I will enjoy playing with my 15-45mm a little. Great video here, it gives a lot of insight and ideas!!! ^_^ UPDATE..... the adapter works with my Tamron SP 45mm lens :) the Tamron EF lenses focus, but the aperture and ISO doesn't work. I bought the Canon 55-200mm lens, and now I have the Tamron EOS-m 18-200mm lens. The Tamron lens works great!! I had problems at first, but I sent it back to Tamron for a firmware update and it is great now!!
I just upgraded my camera from a Canon to Sony for my TH-cam videos. At the end of the day, expensive gears don’t matter that much, but it’s the content and consistency of your videos that count. Keep going :)
I started with the M50. i think it was the best decision. it was affordable, was very easy to use. adapting lenses opened up so many options. Ive upgraded to more "professional consumer" cameras, but there are still times that i use the m50 cause its just quicker, simpler, and efficient to use. no color grading, easy to edit files, good autofocus.
Canon 22mm f/2 lens was the perfect choice for my mentor, for their streaming/home content setup. The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 is the best choice to set your video look apart from most video looks (and for photos), in my opinion . The 15-45mm zoom kit lens is great for a outdoor/vlog rig too.
I don’t know if you did this on purpose but if so...genius editing! At 7:23 you are perfectly synced with the b roll when you said “super blurry background” 🙌🏼🤓
I recently bought the M50 Mark II to shoot a music video, plus general photography. I was surprised by how well it turned out with such an inexpensive camera. I did all of the video with the Viltrox speed booster and the ef 50 lens.
can I use the sigma 16 mm not also film myself, but to film what I see, film from far away? and from close? like how versatile it is, because I am planning to buy only 1 lens, and use it for every situation possible when making outside/inside videos so it has to be versatile, please share your thought
@@ATXpert I would say no... if you want to be able to zoom, it'll be impossible with this lens because it's something called a prime lens, meaning it can't zoom. It's incredibly useful if you have multiple lenses... but if you only want one lens for all, it seems though the 18-150 EF-M lens is best for you. The link is in the description of this video for that lens. If you want more of a budget option, then the kit lens that comes with the m50 is also totally good enough and you can upgrade down the road.
That was a very well explained and covered video .. still loving my canon m50, people think they should upgrade cameras.. but they don’t know that buying good lenses is far more useythan buying new cameras 📸
True. I bought a pro lens for my Olympus DSLR and it was as if the sensor had magically doubled in resolution. I couldn't use the kit lenses after that.
@@unclemick-synths u r just going to get so mindblown with this lens … the depth of feild at f1.4 is … wow. And its such a sharo lens. Check out ur channel and joined ya .. stay connected, i will in 1 or 2 week going to upload my review on the lens 😊
I think another solid option (for video at least) is the EFS 18-135 f3.5-5.6 IS STM/USM adapted to a speed booster. You'll have to pull out the little flange cap in the back for it to work and turn out digital IS to enhanced, but the results are pretty good for run and gun video work like documentary or event coverage.
For me and photography the 18-150mm zoom lens which can be bought as a kit lens is the most marvelous general purpose lens. I also bought a 11-22mm for indoor dance videos.
Thanks so much for the research and hard work you guys continue to do for the M50. I use the M50 as my primary camera for my outdoor channel. The 22mm "pancake" works best for me as it is low-profile and still gives me great bokeh and has autofocus for my run-and-gun filming. I do like some of the budget options for studio work, so might pick up one of those soon. Great stuff!
Sigma trio and the Canon 32 1.4 lens are the best for EF-M mount. For APSC cameras like the M50 Mark II the best lens (and you need an adapter) is the Sigma 18-35. Actually it’s arguably the best lens ever created for consumer cameras.
I actually use the Canon M200 for streaming with the 15- 45mm lens for streaming usually set at 24mm. You get literally no blurry background but the picture is quality. I use the Neewer 35mm prime for close up shooting for depth perception and a nice blur in the fore or background. And the EF-M 55-200 for distance shots or filming. I'm no pro by any means but these lenses seem to work for a hobby guy like myself.
I love this video. I've been following Think Media to help me level up my channel and all the camera tips have helped so much. I love my Sigma 16mm for everything on my beekeeping channel. Thanks guys!
i was so conflicted between either getting a new lens (11-22mm) for my m50 or buying a go pro hero 11 since i’m going on holiday soon and wanna vlog outdoors! this helped me make my decision! i’m going for the new lens!
The adapter was the one that really?I'd like to get that the Is most annets of course , very affordable so Great video full of awesome information.Thank you and really Keep up the great work guys
Thanks so much for this breakdown of lenses. I am considering the M50 for my video creation (new TH-cam channel!!) to go along with my Canon 6d Mark II (for still shots) I realize I can shoot great videos with my 6d but I find that I am forgetting to take the still shots for blog posts and video for TH-cam when I am only using one camera. I am hoping a dedicated video camera will help me to keep it all straight! I have several prime lenses for the 6d so the Viltrox adapter sounds perfect! Thanks again! I am currently benj-watching all of your M50 videos!!
Watching all of these videos about the M50 is why I got it as my starter camera and people never think it's what I use because my shots come out great. I am a boudoir photographer and I use the speed booster with a 28mm and a 50mm but that 16mm is something that I will be adding when I start my youtube channel.
Alright guys! What’s the best lens for indoor filming? Kitchen, bathroom, diy renovation stuff? I have the m50 kit lens and always feel like I can’t get everything in the shot. Help.
I use my canon for all of my videos of my channel with the kit lens, and also for photography with the 50mm with the Viltrox adaptor. Thank you for the video! I am considering to buy the Sigma 16mm, and I use a shotgun microphone. Is that lens noisy?
Great thoughts. A huge difference on my youtube when I went from my old Nikon d3300 to the M50. Then, another huge step when I upgraded from the kit to a 22mm lens:)
5:57 It's "bo-ke" (rhymes with 'poke' bowl, 'Poké'mon,) In Japanese term the bokeh ぼけ refers to a state of blurring off, dozing off... which appropriately is also similar appearance you want with the background So it's not "bo-kah" It's "bo-keh"
hey bro i have a m50 mark ii & was wondering what lens you think is the best for movie scenes? or like short films for music videos , i was told the 18-35mm was good just wanted your opinion
I own the 32mm 1.4 and that lens is AMAZING huge upgrade I also own the kit 15-45mm and the 55-200mm and just ordered the 22mm. I was prett6 blah about the m50 mark ii was starting to regret purchasing this camera till I got the 32mm and was instantly blown away by the quailtly of the image its for sure a must have either the 32mm canon or the 30mm sigma both will 180 your photos from ehhh to really good. I want the 11-22mm and the sigma 16mm also want the 18-150mm I'm trying to get all the native m lenses for my m50 markii I think its a great powerful lil camera at 599 then invest in the 32mm and a one of the zooms and its perfect and amazing for just starting out and for learning photography and also if you know photography and want a powerful pocket camera ita amazing what this lil camera can do.
Can I ask if I should buy the 55-200mm first or the 32mm first? Because I'm afraid the quality of 55-200mm is not as good as 32mm but I want a zoom lens
So I have a question, should I buy the Viltrox adapter and invest in the EF lenses since there is plenty of them in the market and the adapter will give me the semi full-frame experience or should I invest in the EF-m lenses and if so should I buy the sigma 16 mm or the 11-22 mm for overhead videography. Thank you so much I will appreciate the reply.
Question - if I want a zoom lens that will give me a wider shot than the kit lens so I can fit more people in a talking head style video or interview kind of video the 11-22m should be perfect...Correct?
Excellent overall video. Very helpful. Speaking a bit more on the Nifty 50 with the speedbooster would be helpful too, including discussing the Yongnuo equivalent when paired with the speedbooster. To get almost a full frame sharp image with a 1.2 aperture for under $200 combined is really the best budget deal I have seen for quality yet. In any case, THANK YOU for a very helpful video. Peace and blessings to you. :)
Great video bro, thanks for sharing. I need more money to buy this 😂. I am using Canon Eos M50 not mark 11. Hope I will buy this lenses soon as possible.
I hike a lot and I just bought this camera. What specific lenses is the best? I love taking picture of mountain, sunst and sunrise up the mountain. Thanks
Question…I will be purchasing the Canon M50 Mark II soon and want to use it to take pics at my son’s graduation. It will be in a large auditorium and I am not sure what the lighting or distance from the stage I will be. What lens would you recommend that is cost effective but of good quality?
I'm using a EOS M6ii, and my lenses are: Canon EF M 15 ~ 45 kit lens Canon EF M 22mm Sigma EF M 30mm TTArtison 50mm (no autufocus) and a Canon adapter but still searching a canon EF 50mm lens
@@darkexpose5153 it is really great, I love it. It is the perfect lens for my need. The autofocus is really less noisy compare to the 11-16mm. If you use a speedbooster, the lowest you can go is 16mm to have a clean image. And it is very wide. I will use it with both, the ef-m adaptor and the speedbooster. I really recommend it. I made a lot of research to find a wide angle lens for my m50 and I think it is the best option.
@@ivani6311 Thank You, man, I still love the wide-angle lens, the autofocus sound is not that bad and it doesn't happen a lot, I always use a separate sound source far from the camera, the most that I love is the aperture 2.8, if I zoomed in to 16mm and put aperture to 2.8 with a good light source, and your frames are 24 fps, with shutter 1/50 you will get amazing shallow depth of field, try those settings and I'm sure you will get it on your lens better than mine too.
@@darkexpose5153 yes this also the setting that I use and with the 2.0 aperture, you really get a nice blurry background. I would like to use to vlog so I have my microphone attached to the camera. That’s why I preferred to go for the 14-20mm but if you use a lavalier mic or a microphone far from the camera, that you won’t hear anything with the 11-20mm too 👍🏼
I’ve got a 7Artisans 60mm F2.8 macro that is planned to be used to digitize color slides and (b/w) negative film. I also have No-name 500mm F8.0 mirror lens, but it is very hard to focus. Btw it’s used with an adapter (KOWI LMA-TM.C/M). I have been using the EOS M and EOS M3 and thought a small step up to the M50 would be my last “investment” for a long time. I especially love the view finder as it’s hard to use the screen in hard sunlight.
Hi I know this is about the Canon M50 MKII but I have been researching a starter camera for product photography, video ads and vlogging. To this end I liked the look of the Canon M50 because I wanted to use a good base camera to learn. I managed to get an M50 and have been familiarizing myself with my purchase. I have been watching a lot of your content on the best ways to setup and use the Canon M50. However, as a freshman I have a what seems very stupid question. The camera I purchased came with the standard kit lens Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5−6.3 IS STM. I have noticed that on subtle movement the lens sort of has a muted rattle. is this a normal thing or is it a defective lens??? I am still in my period where I can return the product but I want to ask for advice from an expert first. Also with Video ad and product photography in mind what lense option would give my greatest flexibility..kinda one lense for both ...if that makes sense? Thanks in advance
Don't forget that Canon has a crop factor of 1.6x, so a 30mm lens is almost a 50mm fullframe equivalent, while 16mm is more than 24mm eq., so not that wide for arms-length vlogging as the kit lens.
I love my pancake for most of my photography needs :D. Can’t decide on a 75mmish equivalent for portraiture or a 6.5mm fisheye for artsy globe-like photos.
I need 3 lenses for recording a podcast. Typically 1v1 podcast, sometimes table is filled with 4, 2 on each side of a narrow rectangular table, and a third camera for wide angle capturing the whole table. Small space 1/4 of a two car garage. What would your recommendations be? Appreciate the video and your time.
It's not for everyone but I love the 7artisans 7.5mm fisheye lens. In addition I'm seriously considering the Sigma 16mm 1.4 for its shallow depth of field capability.
Super helpful video!!🙏 Last year I bought a canon M50 II as my first camera (that wasn't my phone lol). I still use my phone (galaxy s21 ultra) a lot more than this camera because it's just easier to carry (call me lazy lol) and has a higher range, but I def wanna look into more than basic lenses because I think I'll enjoy taking pictures a lot more with more options. Many thanks!! 💜💚❤
@@209chefra The lens seem to be pretty solid (70-200mm & 15-45mm), but I feel really limited in range compared to my phone if I'm being honest (0.6x-100x). I do really like that it's touch screen & seems pretty durable (I've taken it out in below zero temps & am kinda clumsy) & there's a filter mode that's really fun to play around with (as well as other modes I'm still figuring out). The 55-200 lens I use the most because I really like shooting from farther away, but it doesn't go as far as the 100x on my phone unfortunately BUT the image quality with the camera is really clear comparitively at the zoom level since the shutter speed is a lot faster. I'm saving up for a big boi lens (150-600mm) so that I can take real nice pics of the moon & far away animals & stuff and also a macro lens (28mm) for toys. I'm also not very experienced with a DSLR, so there are many settings I probably don't know about but will likely learn as I need them. That was a lot, but hopefully it answers your question! ^-^
Looking to buy an M50 to upgrade my current Nikon d5200. Thanks for the suggestion of the 16mm sigma. That wasn't on my radar and I think either that or the 22mm pancake at F2 will be necessary.
I have a question. I’ve been having a my M50 for about a year now and am looking to get some better glass on my camera that isn’t too expensive. Im looking for either an M mount or EF mount lens for canon that’s somewhere in the focal range of 24-70mm or 18-55mm and an aperture of F 2.8 or higher. My price range is anything under like $600 or $700. What do you think a good lens for me is?
hello there !! thanks for the great job ! i wanted to ask i have canon eos m50 mark II and i want to upgrade the kit lens for video and live streams. with the budget lens category you mentioned i have to use an adapter?? also the 25mm is ok for video and streaming?
Very nice video thanks for this guide. I just bought m50 markii, I m struggling with the settings. What are the best settings to record art videos indoor with the original lense came with the camera. Thanks a lot .🙂
Great video, been looking for a nice round up like this for my new-ish canon m50 Mark ii! What about using the kit lens with an ND filter as a budget option in order to get more of a “boh-kay” shallow depth of field? (That’s how I’d pronounce it)
You would only get shallower depth of field from a ND if the scene is so bright that the camera can't use a fast enough shutter speed for correct exposure at the largest aperture. The issue with the zoom lenses is they don't go large enough on the aperture to get the shallow depth of field you need.
This is a great video for M50. And it's so weird that such a best seller camera doesn't have good native zoom lenses like 17-50. It's annoying and makes mirrorless cameras pointless (because you'll need an adapter eventually).
Thanks for showing these lenses, I use a Canon 7d 16 35mm lens and a 100.400 mm lens , would like to get a camera more for vlog I hear the Canon m50 is good what your advice ?.? Thanks
Question of the Day ⚡ What lenses are using on the Canon M50? Let me know! 👇 **** Watch other videos on the Canon M50 here: ➡️ th-cam.com/video/8dLMCyD2-UM/w-d-xo.html
I use the Canon EF 50mm f1.8 lens with adaptor for shooting my dad's videos which are talking head videos based on faith and leadership! 😊
My lenses:
Canon EF 18-135
Canon EF 100mm L IS 2.8 (This is my dream lens and with Viltrox adapter, I can go f 2.0 and the crop at 0.71)
Sigma EF-M 16MM 1.4
I shot most of my videos with the m50 & Sigma 18-35. I still feel like that is the best aps-c lens even after all these years.
Right now I have the kit lens. It's the only ef-m lens I have. I got 2 viltrox adapters the standard one that takes EF and EF-S and the speed booster that only takes EF lenses. Then I have a 50mm.

I see alot people is going with sony cameras I wonder why
I’m just starting out with the canon m50 mark ii and a GoPro hero 9 for time lapses 😁👍👍

But you have not even 1k subscriber
. Haha
I’ve watched so many videos and this is the one video that made me understand what lense I really need and what DSLR too. Thanks!

Ive upgraded to more "professional consumer" cameras, but there are still times that i use the m50 cause its just quicker, simpler, and efficient to use. no color grading, easy to edit files, good autofocus.
What did you upgrade to from the m50??
Lenses with stabilization are game changers. Thanks for putting me on every day.
Love my M50 because it’s an insanely adaptable vintage lens monster. My favorite Canon combo though is the Nifty 50 and the Viltrox Speed booster.
Canon 22mm f/2 lens was the perfect choice for my mentor, for their streaming/home content setup. The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 is the best choice to set your video look apart from most video looks (and for photos), in my opinion . The 15-45mm zoom kit lens is great for a outdoor/vlog rig too.

Props to the editor of this video. Syncing the old b roll video with the a roll audio to "super blurry background" was slick.

I’m using my m50 mII as a hybrid with the sigma 16 mm lens. As I’m just exploring the photography realm, I think it’s a great lens for beginners.

It's "bo-ke" (rhymes with 'poke' bowl, 'Poké'mon,)
In Japanese term the bokeh ぼけ refers to a state of blurring off, dozing off... which appropriately is also similar appearance you want with the background
So it's not "bo-kah"
It's "bo-keh"
ohhhh thank God i found this.. the last video that i saw regarding lenses for m200 was 3 yrs ago. thanks for sharing this
hey bro i have a m50 mark ii & was wondering what lens you think is the best for movie scenes? or like short films for music videos , i was told the 18-35mm was good just wanted your opinion
you daughter looks just like you both!!! adorable and congrats on a healthy fam
Brilliant information - thanks Omar and the team! 👌 Also, I love the music on the end screen!
What would you recommend for counter top shots for tarot reading which is what I do, I just need my table in focus and clarity of the images
“Super blurry background” when you were talking about the sigma 16mm lined up with your b roll perfectly and threw me off for a second. @7:24😂😂
I own the 32mm 1.4 and that lens is AMAZING huge upgrade I also own the kit 15-45mm and the 55-200mm and just ordered the 22mm. I was prett6 blah about the m50 mark ii was starting to regret purchasing this camera till I got the 32mm and was instantly blown away by the quailtly of the image its for sure a must have either the 32mm canon or the 30mm sigma both will 180 your photos from ehhh to really good. I want the 11-22mm and the sigma 16mm also want the 18-150mm I'm trying to get all the native m lenses for my m50 markii I think its a great powerful lil camera at 599 then invest in the 32mm and a one of the zooms and its perfect and amazing for just starting out and for learning photography and also if you know photography and want a powerful pocket camera ita amazing what this lil camera can do.
Can I ask if I should buy the 55-200mm first or the 32mm first? Because I'm afraid the quality of 55-200mm is not as good as 32mm but I want a zoom lens
So I have a question, should I buy the Viltrox adapter and invest in the EF lenses since there is plenty of them in the market and the adapter will give me the semi full-frame experience or should I invest in the EF-m lenses and if so should I buy the sigma 16 mm or the 11-22 mm for overhead videography.
Thank you so much I will appreciate the reply.
Question - if I want a zoom lens that will give me a wider shot than the kit lens so I can fit more people in a talking head style video or interview kind of video the 11-22m should be perfect...Correct?
Yes
Boy, I'd have a great day shooting all those beautiful blogs and shadows!!! What a great place to shoot!!!
Excellent overall video. Very helpful. Speaking a bit more on the Nifty 50 with the speedbooster would be helpful too, including discussing the Yongnuo equivalent when paired with the speedbooster. To get almost a full frame sharp image with a 1.2 aperture for under $200 combined is really the best budget deal I have seen for quality yet. In any case, THANK YOU for a very helpful video. Peace and blessings to you. :)
Sigma was a great option for low lighting. Going to pick up the cannon lens as well.
Thanks for the tutorial. Newbie here. My question is will the Neewer 25mm and 35mm lens fit the Viltrox adapter booster and the Canon M50 Mark II?
Love this video thanks bro! I use my camera when I go to Disneyland on vacations and some ceremonies.
I'm a track athlete, I got a Canon M50, and what lens would give me good crisp photos on the track with a good blured background?
Great video bro, thanks for sharing. I need more money to buy this 😂. I am using Canon Eos M50 not mark 11. Hope I will buy this lenses soon as possible.
Great Video Sir ❤ I am new to filming, camera and co tho I am really excited about your overview >> the sigma 16 mm tickled my fancy the most 😁
I hike a lot and I just bought this camera. What specific lenses is the best? I love taking picture of mountain, sunst and sunrise up the mountain. Thanks
The flare in the background was sweet man!
Just when I needed! Great
Omg thank you Omar this was right on time. I’ve been looking for a lens for my M50 that’s a good with talking head and photography for content.
Question…I will be purchasing the Canon M50 Mark II soon and want to use it to take pics at my son’s graduation. It will be in a large auditorium and I am not sure what the lighting or distance from the stage I will be. What lens would you recommend that is cost effective but of good quality?
I bought the sigma 16mm last year and I have really loved it! I'm creating programming and web development content 💻
Love this channel! Thank you for helping me create my own content. I had a TikTok blowup yesterday with 250k views in 2 days. 🤯
I'm using a EOS M6ii, and my lenses are:
Canon EF M 15 ~ 45 kit lens
Canon EF M 22mm
Sigma EF M 30mm
TTArtison 50mm (no autufocus)
and a Canon adapter but still searching a canon EF 50mm lens
@7:23 that audio sync was crazyyyyy
I tried Tokina 11-16 mm with speed booster, it’s wide Angel lens with auto focus and it does all what I want for my Canon M-50
Just received the 14-20 tokina, can’t wait to try it out
@@ivani6311 Please let me know how is it, so I might buy it too
@@darkexpose5153 it is really great, I love it. It is the perfect lens for my need. The autofocus is really less noisy compare to the 11-16mm. If you use a speedbooster, the lowest you can go is 16mm to have a clean image. And it is very wide. I will use it with both, the ef-m adaptor and the speedbooster. I really recommend it. I made a lot of research to find a wide angle lens for my m50 and I think it is the best option.
@@ivani6311 Thank You, man, I still love the wide-angle lens, the autofocus sound is not that bad and it doesn't happen a lot, I always use a separate sound source far from the camera, the most that I love is the aperture 2.8, if I zoomed in to 16mm and put aperture to 2.8 with a good light source, and your frames are 24 fps, with shutter 1/50 you will get amazing shallow depth of field, try those settings and I'm sure you will get it on your lens better than mine too.
@@darkexpose5153 yes this also the setting that I use and with the 2.0 aperture, you really get a nice blurry background. I would like to use to vlog so I have my microphone attached to the camera. That’s why I preferred to go for the 14-20mm but if you use a lavalier mic or a microphone far from the camera, that you won’t hear anything with the 11-20mm too 👍🏼
I’ve got a 7Artisans 60mm F2.8 macro that is planned to be used to digitize color slides and (b/w) negative film.
I also have No-name 500mm F8.0 mirror lens, but it is very hard to focus. Btw it’s used with an adapter (KOWI LMA-TM.C/M).
I have been using the EOS M and EOS M3 and thought a small step up to the M50 would be my last “investment” for a long time. I especially love the view finder as it’s hard to use the screen in hard sunlight.
Hi I know this is about the Canon M50 MKII but I have been researching a starter camera for product photography, video ads and vlogging. To this end I liked the look of the Canon M50 because I wanted to use a good base camera to learn. I managed to get an M50 and have been familiarizing myself with my purchase. I have been watching a lot of your content on the best ways to setup and use the Canon M50. However, as a freshman I have a what seems very stupid question. The camera I purchased came with the standard kit lens Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5−6.3 IS STM. I have noticed that on subtle movement the lens sort of has a muted rattle. is this a normal thing or is it a defective lens??? I am still in my period where I can return the product but I want to ask for advice from an expert first. Also with Video ad and product photography in mind what lense option would give my greatest flexibility..kinda one lense for both
...if that makes sense?
Thanks in advance
Is buying the M50 a good investment 1st camera? Or buying the M50mkii better?
Don't forget that Canon has a crop factor of 1.6x, so a 30mm lens is almost a 50mm fullframe equivalent, while 16mm is more than 24mm eq., so not that wide for arms-length vlogging as the kit lens.
Thanks for the lense stour. I needed to see this.
I love my pancake for most of my photography needs :D. Can’t decide on a 75mmish equivalent for portraiture or a 6.5mm fisheye for artsy globe-like photos.
Stunning lights in every video mate!!!!
Thanks, good general and specialize advice, for pros and non pros
I need 3 lenses for recording a podcast. Typically 1v1 podcast, sometimes table is filled with 4, 2 on each side of a narrow rectangular table, and a third camera for wide angle capturing the whole table. Small space 1/4 of a two car garage. What would your recommendations be? Appreciate the video and your time.
Thank you, this video give me informative guidance
Recommendation for filming low light with this camera!? Total newby but really trying to do this event myself!
AWESOME!! Love the m50, one of the coolest cams.
Thank you so much,..I really appreciate this video
It's not for everyone but I love the 7artisans 7.5mm fisheye lens. In addition I'm seriously considering the Sigma 16mm 1.4 for its shallow depth of field capability.
I just bought same fisheye for wide angle nature shots.
Super helpful video!!🙏 Last year I bought a canon M50 II as my first camera (that wasn't my phone lol). I still use my phone (galaxy s21 ultra) a lot more than this camera because it's just easier to carry (call me lazy lol) and has a higher range, but I def wanna look into more than basic lenses because I think I'll enjoy taking pictures a lot more with more options. Many thanks!! 💜💚❤
How's the quality on your mark2 camera, compared to your phones camera( s21)? 🤔
@@209chefra The lens seem to be pretty solid (70-200mm & 15-45mm), but I feel really limited in range compared to my phone if I'm being honest (0.6x-100x). I do really like that it's touch screen & seems pretty durable (I've taken it out in below zero temps & am kinda clumsy) & there's a filter mode that's really fun to play around with (as well as other modes I'm still figuring out).
The 55-200 lens I use the most because I really like shooting from farther away, but it doesn't go as far as the 100x on my phone unfortunately BUT the image quality with the camera is really clear comparitively at the zoom level since the shutter speed is a lot faster. I'm saving up for a big boi lens (150-600mm) so that I can take real nice pics of the moon & far away animals & stuff and also a macro lens (28mm) for toys.
I'm also not very experienced with a DSLR, so there are many settings I probably don't know about but will likely learn as I need them.
That was a lot, but hopefully it answers your question! ^-^
Looking to buy an M50 to upgrade my current Nikon d5200. Thanks for the suggestion of the 16mm sigma. That wasn't on my radar and I think either that or the 22mm pancake at F2 will be necessary.
EF 18 - 150 is what stays on my M50 . Don't blog so but take lots of landscape while moving in the car.
Amazing guide.... thank you so much...
Patiently waiting to upgrade for my vlogs!
Sorry if my question is dumb, I’m barely researching. When are adapters necessary?
Thank you for these reviews. I just used one of your links to buy a 2nd lens for my Canon M50 Mark II. :-)
what would be good for nature/ night time photography?
What would be a good lense for the M50 for nature photography with a zoom?
I have a question. I’ve been having a my M50 for about a year now and am looking to get some better glass on my camera that isn’t too expensive. Im looking for either an M mount or EF mount lens for canon that’s somewhere in the focal range of 24-70mm or 18-55mm and an aperture of F 2.8 or higher. My price range is anything under like $600 or $700. What do you think a good lens for me is?
The 11-22mm caught my attention. You didn’t mention it’s price though.
thank you for this guide! i don't have a canon 50 but I learned a lot
hello there !! thanks for the great job !
i wanted to ask i have canon eos m50 mark II and i want to upgrade the kit lens for video and live streams.
with the budget lens category you mentioned i have to use an adapter??
also the 25mm is ok for video and streaming?
Perfect Camera Bro
Also Laowa 9 mm F/2.8 Zero D is a great lens...It is manual...but No apsc lens can give you such an angle of view!
I use my canon m50 for photography and also for making videos and lens that i use is kit lens that came with the camera
Very nice video thanks for this guide.
I just bought m50 markii, I m struggling with the settings. What are the best settings to record art videos indoor with the original lense came with the camera.
Thanks a lot .🙂
like your content i have m50 take pics on everything but need a good 1 for filiming fireworks..thumbs up bro
Thanks 👍
Great video, been looking for a nice round up like this for my new-ish canon m50 Mark ii! What about using the kit lens with an ND filter as a budget option in order to get more of a “boh-kay” shallow depth of field? (That’s how I’d pronounce it)
You would only get shallower depth of field from a ND if the scene is so bright that the camera can't use a fast enough shutter speed for correct exposure at the largest aperture. The issue with the zoom lenses is they don't go large enough on the aperture to get the shallow depth of field you need.
@@unclemick-synths this is helpful. Thank you! 🙌
You just helped us a ton. Thanks!
Hey man I been using this camera for basketball content but I want to upgrade my lens what do you think is the best for that?
This is a great video for M50. And it's so weird that such a best seller camera doesn't have good native zoom lenses like 17-50. It's annoying and makes mirrorless cameras pointless (because you'll need an adapter eventually).
Thanks for showing these lenses, I use a Canon 7d 16 35mm lens and a 100.400 mm lens , would like to get a camera more for vlog I hear the Canon m50 is good what your advice ?.? Thanks
