Question of the Day ⚡ What lenses are using on the Canon M50? Let me know! 👇 **** Watch other videos on the Canon M50 here: ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/8dLMCyD2-UM/v-deo.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 UA-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 UA-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 :)
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 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.
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.
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"
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 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
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!
Thanks so much for this breakdown of lenses. I am considering the M50 for my video creation (new UA-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 UA-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!!
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.
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. :)
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.
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.
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
I’m a professional actress and I have this camera. My auditions come out great and clear. My issue is the slate my full body someone told me get a wide angle lens. Is there anything cheaper Amazon had some for $40.
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.
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.
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 the M50 MkII with the kit lens. I do videos of board games set on a table for my UA-cam channel using an iPhone 13 Pro, but I want to use my M50 for this. I like to capture the details of the game pieces and map board. What lens do you recommend for the Mark II for this purpose? Thanks in advance.
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! ^-^
what happens if you put the kit lens and the viltrox speed booster? does it make the shot wide for vlogging or content creating?? really keen in buying the m 50 mark 2 but dont want to buy more lenses.
Hi, thank you for this great content, I have the canon M50 and I use it for live stream in a medium church, I am looking for a nice lens that can give me a good blurred background
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
With a prime lens you have to "zoom with your feet". The plus is always the larger aperture for low light and/or shallow depth of field. The downside is you can't always get the angle you want because the subject is too close or too far away and it's not a zoom lens.
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.
Hey everyone, looking for some advice please. I have the Canon M50 mkii with only the kit Lens at the mo. My bro in law and I are starting our own UA-cam channel to do product review videos. I have made a set in my garage, we will both be in the shot sat on chairs with a table in front of us! What lens and settings would be best for this set up? Thanks In advance 😊
Hii, I just bought canon m50 mark ii and 30mm. Personally I feel like it's an okay lense. But I am traveling to Canada this summer and wanted a lense that I could use anywhere for everything, instead of bringing two lenses. Price could be under 800 usd. So if you have a recommendation, please let me know. It would be plus if it could zoom, as I also have a big big family and they are impatient and wanna be in the picture, but not listen. Heh
Bokeh is the Japanese word boke, which means "blur" or "haze." It is properly pronounced when bo rhymes with row and ke rhymes with Ted, with equal stress on *both* syllables. Please share this with everyone you know who mispronounces this, or doesn't know how, and is too lazy to find out.
I happen to have the Mark II and it's a great camera but I was ignorant in my research and didn't realize the camera is limited to 30 minutes recordings. How does one do vlogging videos (or any kind of creator videos) with this limitation? It would be annoying to be cut off mid conversation and constantly hitting record every 30 mins.
@@JimSamuel267 I tried making videos before with a webcam. Several hours of footage for a 15 minute video. I don't stop the recording every time I make a mistake or finish the script for that one part. That's too time consuming. And many friends record in similar fashion. I also do gameplay and 1 round can easily last more than 30 minutes and I play multiple rounds. Pretty sure that would be obvious. I'm not gonna pause recording between rounds while my game capture keeps recording.
@@charlescortes1935 If you want to do game capture for videos, why not use a screen capture video program like Camtasia or Snag-It? Shooting games played onscreen with a camera seems inefficient when you can capture them directly. As for not stopping the camera when you make a mistake, you may be wasting more time in the editing process than you are saving by letting the camera continue to record. It is much easier to have separate takes and write down which take is good than to have to edit out sections of an hour-long video.
@@JimSamuel267 wow, you misunderstood big time. Sorry if I didn't explain properly. I use GeForce Experience to record gameplay and Stream labs for streaming. I have a Logitech 920 webcam. But I don't want to record myself in the gameplay. I want my camera separate so I can edit myself separately from the gameplay. This allows me to be creative with my camera footage such as zooming in and shaking separately from the gameplay footage.
@@charlescortes1935 My comment still holds. If you are shooting single takes in a camera that are longer then 30 minutes, you are creating a mess for yourself in the editing process.
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 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” 🙌🏼🤓
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?
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!
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.
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.
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?
Question of the Day ⚡ What lenses are using on the Canon M50? Let me know! 👇 **** Watch other videos on the Canon M50 here: ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/8dLMCyD2-UM/v-deo.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. 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.

It's "bo-keh"
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!
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.

15-45mm is what I have and I think iPhone camera is better. Is there a better lens you recommend?!!
Who else is saving up to level up their camera game? 👀
May this be a sign that you're on the right path. 💗 Dr. Liz

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.
I got the sigma 16 and I just ordered the 11 to 22mm lens. Super excited about that!! Thanks to think media for this review.

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! ^-^
What would you recommend for doing a dance video? I’m trying to get that wide angle but also with that good Bokeh.
what happens if you put the kit lens and the viltrox speed booster? does it make the shot wide for vlogging or content creating?? really keen in buying the m 50 mark 2 but dont want to buy more lenses.
Hi, I have that same question? N I m too looking for the same.
Efs lens normal adapter speed booster won't work EF lens you may use speebooster adapter (viltrox)
What is the closest to 50mm f1.8 ?
Thank you so much,..I really appreciate this video
Hi, thank you for this great content, I have the canon M50 and I use it for live stream in a medium church, I am looking for a nice lens that can give me a good blurred background
I shoot UA-cam videos. Sticking with the kit lens for now but will consider the Sigma 30 mm.

Sorry if my question is dumb, I’m barely researching. When are adapters necessary?
Which of these lens do you recommend for photography/weddings?
Get the viltrox adapter then the 50mm lens and a zoom lens like a 70-200
When showcasing a camera, what's the point in showing footage that isn't shot by the camera? Show us a demo of how the lenses are in real time.
No concern that the cheap speed booster has lower quality glass than the EF lenses themselves?
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
With a prime lens you have to "zoom with your feet". The plus is always the larger aperture for low light and/or shallow depth of field. The downside is you can't always get the angle you want because the subject is too close or too far away and it's not a zoom lens.

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! 🙌
Thank You!
Hey everyone, looking for some advice please. I have the Canon M50 mkii with only the kit Lens at the mo. My bro in law and I are starting our own UA-cam channel to do product review videos. I have made a set in my garage, we will both be in the shot sat on chairs with a table in front of us! What lens and settings would be best for this set up? Thanks In advance 😊
Hii, I just bought canon m50 mark ii and 30mm. Personally I feel like it's an okay lense. But I am traveling to Canada this summer and wanted a lense that I could use anywhere for everything, instead of bringing two lenses. Price could be under 800 usd. So if you have a recommendation, please let me know. It would be plus if it could zoom, as I also have a big big family and they are impatient and wanna be in the picture, but not listen. Heh
What lens would you recommend for this camera for product photography? Anyone can help answer me
I NEED HELP!!!!
I purchased the Neewer 35mm f1.7 for my Canon Eso M50 and once I attacked it the shutter wonted work!!!!
Need help!
I need a macro lens for my mark 2. Im a dentist. I heard about sigma 100 mm but is not compatible w Mark 2.
Question: EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is this lenses will fit for EoS M50 with out any adapter?
Hi which lens would be good for product photography?
I was about to ask this and will wait for the reply too
Please do one for lenses to be used with viltrox speed booster
What would you say, Sigma 30mm 1.4 vs Speed boosted nifty fifty (50mm 1.8)?
I’m looking for a lens to shoot my podcast with on the M50, and possibly use for vlogging. Any suggestions anyone?
Please can someone tell me what lens if Best to film gym sessions on ? Thanks
Do you need an adapter to put a sigma 16mm on an m50 mark ii?
The 15-45 mm is much smaller and lighter than the 18-55 mm. The 18-55 mm is less plasticy though.
Can I use Sigma 100-400 mm or any more zoom lens on canon m 50 mark 2 after using viltrox ef-eos m adapter
Will Canon kill the m series?
in your opinion when the color profile "camera Profile" of m50 mk2 in raw converter will be added? i love the colors of canon color profile
Thx very much
I have a canon 70d and the 50mm camera. I’m interested to learn of other options for this camera and would love this kind of video for my dslr
Sigma 18-35 but you can’t vlog with it.
@@portraitblake thats cool. It’s for sit down beauty videos. That’s for the feedback
I purchased Canon EOS M50 mark 2 3 days back. A brand New camera. If any one interested please let me know.
Should I sell my GX7iii for one of these?
Perfect ok ❤️❤️❤️
I have a canon mark50 I looking for lenses to film/shoot son football games
Bokeh is the Japanese word boke, which means "blur" or "haze."
It is properly pronounced when bo rhymes with row and ke rhymes with Ted, with equal stress on *both* syllables.
Please share this with everyone you know who mispronounces this, or doesn't know how, and is too lazy to find out.
Hey bro i need your help, i have a canon m50 mark 2, and i bought a rf 24-105 mm stm lens f4-5.7 lens, is there an adaptor to be able to use my lens?
I happen to have the Mark II and it's a great camera but I was ignorant in my research and didn't realize the camera is limited to 30 minutes recordings. How does one do vlogging videos (or any kind of creator videos) with this limitation? It would be annoying to be cut off mid conversation and constantly hitting record every 30 mins.
How many vlogs, or any kind of video, are done in one continuous shoot of more than 30 minutes?
@@JimSamuel267 I tried making videos before with a webcam. Several hours of footage for a 15 minute video. I don't stop the recording every time I make a mistake or finish the script for that one part. That's too time consuming. And many friends record in similar fashion. I also do gameplay and 1 round can easily last more than 30 minutes and I play multiple rounds. Pretty sure that would be obvious. I'm not gonna pause recording between rounds while my game capture keeps recording.
@@charlescortes1935 If you want to do game capture for videos, why not use a screen capture video program like Camtasia or Snag-It? Shooting games played onscreen with a camera seems inefficient when you can capture them directly.
As for not stopping the camera when you make a mistake, you may be wasting more time in the editing process than you are saving by letting the camera continue to record. It is much easier to have separate takes and write down which take is good than to have to edit out sections of an hour-long video.
@@JimSamuel267 wow, you misunderstood big time. Sorry if I didn't explain properly. I use GeForce Experience to record gameplay and Stream labs for streaming. I have a Logitech 920 webcam. But I don't want to record myself in the gameplay. I want my camera separate so I can edit myself separately from the gameplay. This allows me to be creative with my camera footage such as zooming in and shaking separately from the gameplay footage.
@@charlescortes1935 My comment still holds. If you are shooting single takes in a camera that are longer then 30 minutes, you are creating a mess for yourself in the editing process.
I am trying to buy cannon m50 Mark ii but its not available right now due to lockdown. 😭😭😭
What would you guys think the best Lens for portrait or couples photography?
Good
Sigma 16mm F1.4 is the best EFM lens. It's all you need!
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.
I need a low light sharp image with occasional blur background.
@@ATXpert Yes, shoot Raw and crop in post. You will resolve enough detail to get a relatively decent zoom out of the tact sharp highly resolved image.
I can't never get the right balance between getting the full body in focus and still having blurry background
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 i just got the sigma 16mm f1.4 lens and now the image is coming so good that the canon m59 feels like a full frame camera
@@RivuSouravBanerjeeVideoEditor in that case it is definitely on my wishlist!
@@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 😊
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.
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” 🙌🏼🤓
im sure they did, they're very humble with editing skills lol
i also noticed the same
Just finished Googling lenses for my M50. Come to YT to check out some reviews and...boom!📷
I ordered the Meike 85mm lens but wasn’t compatible with the mark ii m50
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
@7:23 that audio sync was crazyyyyy
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!
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.
What did you upgrade to from the m50??
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.
Can’t go wrong w the sigma 16mm! By far my favourite 😍
I have a cannon m 50 I am wondering what lens is good to use for my cooking and travel any suggestions? Thanks
Can viltrox eos-m adaptor not booster can still full frame the m50 m2?
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 choice, I’m using the m50 mark ii to start, and so far so good. I’m thinking of ordering the 22mm lens next 😁👍
I don't understand why no one has ever tried the tamron 15-30 2.8F with the canon m50
