Hi would your set up be good for say rugby photography? I use an old Canon SX1 IS bridge camera 5.0-100mm 1:2.8-5.7 I stand behind the posts and take full pitch length photos. Usually take 1200 shots per match and post 300 on the club's website. I get some really good photos but want to go to the next level and improve long range shots. Thank you.
I won a Canon eos M50 and was heartbroken when I found I could not really do the wildlife pictures that I want to do with the 45mm lens that came with in in the Creators Kit, thank you for helping to put my mind at ease about buying this lens, now I just have to wait for them to get this and the adapter back in stock.
Thank you so much. Finally a channel that has all the information and good lens to use with my Cannon EOS M50 camera. I already have the adaptor and my 50 mm lens which I love for portraits. I just recently got the 11 mm -22mm for wide ankle landscapes and now my final tele-zoom lens.
love the af speed and range of this 70 v usefull getting by with the 300 but getting the sig 150 600 the weight of ef is great nice lens weatherproofing and no hood only complaints
Hi, thanks for this review, that's what I was looking for. As a result, I just bought this lens for my Canon EOS M50. I first went to a photo shop and checked whether it was indeed not too big and too heavy. It is a big lens, but it still fits (just) on this body. I doubted for a moment between this lens and the Tamron 18-200 mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III VC (M mount), but I went for the extra zoom length of 300 mm instead of 200 mm and the super fast focus with this nano-USM system. Greetings from the Netherlands. Lars
Dear sir many thanks for this great review. i have a m50 camera and will buy viltrox adaptor. i want to ask you a question, is this lens enough for taking surfers photos on the sea from beach?
Thank you. I have no experience on taking surfing photos, but I think you can get started with this lens. I guess it depends on where you shoot and what kind of photos you are after.

Hey great video, i puchased this lens after whatching your video because i was looking for an alternative telephotolens other than the ef-m ones for my m50. I realy like it and wanted to thank you for making this video and recomandation. Great 😁👍
Hello my friend from Atlanta Georgia I loved your presentation on the lens and I really like your choice in cameras I think the M50 is an awesome camera and one other thing cannons tech support is the best way way better than Sony and Panasonic you could hardly get anybody to help you with those two companies and when you do the sound annoyed like you're bothering them they need to stop making cameras but Canon the people there are wonderful tech support is great very knowledgeable people No Nonsense thank you for sharing this video
Thanks for the video. I own the 70-300 and a 5D Mark III. The lens is really nice and has Canon's new nano auto focus technology; it's lightning fast and accurate. I'm looking to pick up the M50 so your video is helpful.
Hi! I would like to know if I can use this lens with the Viltrox speed booster? I have that one and I am thinking to get this lens and I am not sure if works with the speed booster… thank you so much for all the context you post. Beginners are so happy with your channel
@@MarS-dc2qx If you want your moon to fill the frame, you'll need a telephoto lens. I can't say exactly how big the moon would be on this lens, but fairly big anyway.
Do you have a tripod collar for this? I am curious to use a tripod but also relieve the pressure of the adapter to this lens leaning downwards. I feel a tripod collar would help.
My only concern is finding one that is compatible for this lens. I don’t think it’ll be safe to put one over the buttons and put that much pressure on it.
I use the M50 with this lens attached via the Viltrox EF-EF-M adapter. This adapter comes with a mount plate. All the pressure goes to the adapter, not the camera body.
I have the mark 1 version of this lens (fantastic lens) but I cannot get it to focus using the VILTROX adapters on my M50. After seeing this presentation I will pay the extra for the Canon adapter as it is such a great lens.
@@drperazacisneros I'm not a dental photography expert, but I'd say any macro (50-100mm) that goes to 1:1 ratio is probably good. You may have to look for EF lenses and use the same adapter I was using here.
I got Canon M6 II, (ef-m mount), how about I buy Tamron 100-400mm F4.5-6.3 Di VC USD (A035) instead of canon 70-300mm tele-zoom? do u think Tamron len, at 100-300mm got the same sharp image as Canon 70-300? please advice. thanks
This is a Canon DSLR lens and you can use it on the S5 with an adapter, but I would not recommend it. By far the best 70-200mm for you camera would be either the Lumix S 70-200mm F4 or the Lumix S 70-200mm F2.8. Both are excellent lenses and the AF works really well too, but they are a bit pricey.
@sanket negi exactly. Makes me laugh when people recommend an ugly and big EF/EF-S lens for the M50 when there is a solid, equivalent EF-M lens (55-200 for example). The whole point of the EOS-M is compact nature and weight
How does this compare to Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6. I'm planning to shoot my son's football matches (outdoors, a decent amount of light) with M50 and some telephoto lens. Looking at inexpensive options to get decent quality. I'm primarily shooting video. Thanks.
Quick question. I own the canon M50 and am looking for a Canon telephoto lens with more reach, (and a budget one of course lol) and I am wondering if this lens on my camera downgrade my photo quality at all since it was made in the 90s. Just wondering if you think there will be a visible difference in quality from my EOS-M lenses I'm using on my M50 right now.
@@chris-ip4pk Sorry about that. The M50 is small camera, but I had no problem handling the combo. You probably would support the lens with your left hand anyway.
In my opinion it performed just fine in low light, but eventually you have to raise the ISO, because it's not a very fast lens. Optically I think it's very good, at least on a small sensor.
I actually got a used one two days ago and took it with me on a walk through the woods, hoping to try and shoot some birds. No luck with birds, but I did see two small dogs running around at about 200 meters, so that was a good test. The 300mm on my M6 got me pretty close and I shot a couple of pictures. At home, I checked the pictures and realized that the sand they were running in was relatively sharp, but the dogs weren’t...a man, to bad it didn’t nail focus... But then I saw my shutter speed. It’s my first true telelens and I usually shoot in aperture priority fully opened and auto ISO, max at 1600. That meant I was shooting at 1/10sec with ISO 125 ! So I will try again soon, but wit max ISO 6400 and shutter priority ! Image stabilization seems promising ! (I also just got an EVF and tried a few shots without it, just in the live view, but that’s nearly impossible to hold still at 300mm)
You really need to double check your shutter speed with a tele lens, especially it you intend to freeze action. It's really hard to use a tele without a proper viewfinder.
@@pieterdewit5335 Hey how was your experience with this lens? I'm planning to buy it for my m50 mk ii. I need a budget telephoto lens for wildlife photography and a bit of nature photography.
Hi! Is this sufficient for birding? I go to parks on weekends and snap pictures of birds but my 55-200mm lens doesn’t have the reach. I’m debating between this or a 600mm lens but with a toddler in tow, I don’t feel like lugging around a heavy lens. I’d appreciate your feed back!
This is gives you tighter framing compared to 200mm, but you'd still have to be quite close to small birds to fill the frame. It's hard to say if this is suitable for your bird pictures, but this is relatively compact for the reach. A 600mm would, of course offer much more reach, but like you said it would also be a lot bigger. Is it possible for you to go to a camera store and maybe try this just to see the difference between 200mm and 300mm?
sulantoblog thank you for the reply! I’m planning on going to a camera store to try out some lenses. But the ones near me are still closed due to covid and I’m a little impatient haha. Anyway, your feedback pushed me closer to getting a 150-600mm lens since the bird park I frequent doesn’t like visitors to get off the path so as not to disturb the plants and birds alike so the 300mm probably won’t work. Thanks again!
Couple of question. Why does M50 have limited lens options? And how come you keep saying "this is a full frame, DSLR lens" -- are M50 or M50 native lens not DSLR as well? Please help me understand, i'm very new to this
Please go to Canon web site and see the line EF-M lens line up (these are for the M50) and then see the EF lens line up. Count how many lenses in each line up. Please google a mirrorless camera (this is the M50) and DSRL camera and you'll find out the difference. Google also what full frame means. I'm asking you to do that to keep my answer short and I also don't want to repeat what has been already written. I hope you find the answers and I'm sure you'll learn to understand at the same time.
@@mattisulanto Thank you! I researched all of these recommendations and found the answers I was looking for. Now let’s see if i can buy you a cup of coffee! ☺️
Will it help me to look at the craters of the moon or the edge of the moon at least? I want to record the moon or other palnets that are nearby., i do not know which tele photo lens that can be compatible as a telescope, yet, i heard there is telephoto lenses that capture to the same level as a telescope or at least as binoculars do, but i dont know if this is the way to go, i really want to get pictures or at least some small videos from the moon showing the edge of the moon to see what’s out there
May I ask what you photograph with it? I’m highly considering this lens for my m50. Being new to photography, I’m quickly discovering the limitations of the 15-45 kit lens. I also got the 50mm 1.8 w/ adapter for a first “real” lens and I can see the advantages of having a versatile lens selection that the adapter provides. Thank you for your time.
@@chalachari4089 From my experience, m50 is NOT so good for wildlife. When I shoot small birds it often focuses on background and not on the bird, which never happens with DSLRs. That's because m50 employs hybrid (phase+contrast) focus system, and that contrast part messes up - when the subject is smaller or as small as the focus square, especially when the background is more contrasty than the subject, which is often the case. DSLR cameras employ purely phase detect autofocus and no contrast method get in the way, and the phase focus sensor is sharp and nails it regardless of background. The only thing m50 is good for is bird-in-flight photography, and only if there is just the smooth sky behind - so that there is no contrasty background and only the bird to catch focus, with 10 fps burst and up to 1/4000 shutter speed m50 can get your bird in flight pictures just fine, you only have to switch to continuous AF mode (with large focus area) and press the release button halfway, then push it all the way as soon as you see the bird in focus. Well, maybe if you shoot not small birds but some bigger animals, then m50 could do better for you, I don't know. As for me, only DSLRs are good for wildlife, no mirrorless with hybrid AF, unless hybrid AF can be disabled (forced PDAF only) if there any mirrorless cameras capable of that.
@@SergeiKo thank you so much sir. I am really happy to see ur valuable message for me. Please visit my Pinterest profile ,name as : 'chala chari' .... Board name village pics... I used canon 1300d dslr
@@chalachari4089 I have visited your profile, you have a lot of nice pictures! You can see my pics on Instagram, my nick is @sergei.ko Most pics are shot with Canon 6D and Canon 300mm F4 prime lens with 1.4x extender. Some pics are shot with m50 (all birds in flight - black headed gull, black kite, swift, rook, magpie - all last year) and one Common Linnet on August 6th, 2019 in the grass - you see it focused on the grass behind. I keep this shot anyway, because I have no better shot of this bird so far.
There is no III version of this lens, but there is 75-300mm III, which is more affordable and in Canon's line up below the one I review here. I have no experience on the cheaper model, but I suspect it's not as good as the one here.
Hi! I am looking for a lens especially for sport events (indoor and outdoor). Because I want made photos just for my pleasure, I don’t want pay much for lens. So I can’t decide between Canon EF 70-300 IS USM II and Tamron 70-300 Di VC USD. What did you recommend? I have a Canon m50 + viltrox speedbooster adaptor. Also, the Canon lens is around 480 euro and Tamron around 330 euro.
if i want to record hidden camera prank videos, so the cameraman needs to be far from the prank to record it, will this lens be the best option if i use the m50? Because of the zoom? currently im using the 15-45 but the zoom is not good so the cameraman is close to the prank
I'm not an expert in that genre of video and I don't know how far you need to be. This is a relatively long lens and it's much better than the 15-45mm that you are using now, but I don't know if you might need even longer lens.
I did not try it in real sports, but I think it would be just fine. It depends a lot on the sports, of course. Formula one, football, curling are table tennis are all very different😀
sulantoblog thanks for your reply. I was thinking maybe some birds or squirrels in my back yard, nothing to special. Dunno if you can call that “wild life” hahahaha
I have that one also. I recently bought it but was wondering if I should return it and get something with more reach. I think 50mm more focal length at double the price is too much though.

Couple of question. Why does M50 have limited lens options? And how come you keep saying "this is a full frame, DSLR lens" -- are M50 or M50 native lens not DSLR as well? Please help me understand, i'm very new to this
Please go to Canon web site and see the line EF-M lens line up (these are for the M50) and then see the EF lens line up. Count how many lenses in each line up.
Please google a mirrorless camera (this is the M50) and DSRL camera and you'll find out the difference. Google also what full frame means.
I'm asking you to do that to keep my answer short and I also don't want to repeat what has been already written.
I hope you find the answers and I'm sure you'll learn to understand at the same time.
@@mattisulanto Thank you! I researched all of these recommendations and found the answers I was looking for. Now let’s see if i can buy you a cup of coffee! ☺️
to place it in m50 mark ii, do I need an adapter for EF?
Yes. This an EF lens.
Great review.. Thank you for doing this
Thanks, glad you like the video.
Will it help me to look at the craters of the moon or the edge of the moon at least? I want to record the moon or other palnets that are nearby., i do not know which tele photo lens that can be compatible as a telescope, yet, i heard there is telephoto lenses that capture to the same level as a telescope or at least as binoculars do, but i dont know if this is the way to go, i really want to get pictures or at least some small videos from the moon showing the edge of the moon to see what’s out there
I'm not a specialist in that area, but I think you need something longer to get detailed close ups of the moon.
sulantoblog are you familiar to any of that mister? I am new to this field. But your video review helps so much! Thank you very much!
I have this combination. It's really good
May I ask what you photograph with it? I’m highly considering this lens for my m50. Being new to photography, I’m quickly discovering the limitations of the 15-45 kit lens. I also got the 50mm 1.8 w/ adapter for a first “real” lens and I can see the advantages of having a versatile lens selection that the adapter provides. Thank you for your time.
Hi sir,,, happy new year.... Can i buy canon m-50 camera.... Is it good? I l like wildlife photography. Please suggest me... Thank you
@@chalachari4089 From my experience, m50 is NOT so good for wildlife. When I shoot small birds it often focuses on background and not on the bird, which never happens with DSLRs. That's because m50 employs hybrid (phase+contrast) focus system, and that contrast part messes up - when the subject is smaller or as small as the focus square, especially when the background is more contrasty than the subject, which is often the case. DSLR cameras employ purely phase detect autofocus and no contrast method get in the way, and the phase focus sensor is sharp and nails it regardless of background. The only thing m50 is good for is bird-in-flight photography, and only if there is just the smooth sky behind - so that there is no contrasty background and only the bird to catch focus, with 10 fps burst and up to 1/4000 shutter speed m50 can get your bird in flight pictures just fine, you only have to switch to continuous AF mode (with large focus area) and press the release button halfway, then push it all the way as soon as you see the bird in focus. Well, maybe if you shoot not small birds but some bigger animals, then m50 could do better for you, I don't know. As for me, only DSLRs are good for wildlife, no mirrorless with hybrid AF, unless hybrid AF can be disabled (forced PDAF only) if there any mirrorless cameras capable of that.
@@SergeiKo thank you so much sir. I am really happy to see ur valuable message for me. Please visit my Pinterest profile ,name as : 'chala chari' .... Board name village pics... I used canon 1300d dslr
@@chalachari4089 I have visited your profile, you have a lot of nice pictures! You can see my pics on Instagram, my nick is @sergei.ko Most pics are shot with Canon 6D and Canon 300mm F4 prime lens with 1.4x extender. Some pics are shot with m50 (all birds in flight - black headed gull, black kite, swift, rook, magpie - all last year) and one Common Linnet on August 6th, 2019 in the grass - you see it focused on the grass behind. I keep this shot anyway, because I have no better shot of this bird so far.
Would you recommend canon ef 15-85 mm f/3.5-5.6 is stm for my Canon EOS M50?
I have not used that lens, but I think it's a good basic zoom.
what is the difference between this and the iii version? which one would you recommend
There is no III version of this lens, but there is 75-300mm III, which is more affordable and in Canon's line up below the one I review here. I have no experience on the cheaper model, but I suspect it's not as good as the one here.
Sigma
Sigma DG Macro 70 - 300 mm Zoom Lens compatible to m50 camera using adapter?
I have no experience on that lens and unfortunately can't help you. I'm really sorry.
Thanks mate
Thanks!
May i use telephoto lens without adapter ?
Yes, but not this one on any of the M series Canons. You need a native M lens.
Hello , can we use tele converter with this lense ?
I think it's better to go to Canon web site to get the most accurate info on that.
Okay thanks !! Shall check there.
Not on M50
great video man!
Thanks!
I need to try this lens on my m50 thanks for the video
I think it works fine for the video too.
Hi!
I am looking for a lens especially for sport events (indoor and outdoor). Because I want made photos just for my pleasure, I don’t want pay much for lens. So I can’t decide between Canon EF 70-300 IS USM II and Tamron 70-300 Di VC USD. What did you recommend?
I have a Canon m50 + viltrox speedbooster adaptor. Also, the Canon lens is around 480 euro and Tamron around 330 euro.
I have not used the Tamron, so I can't comment on that. The Canon in this video is a good lens.
@@mattisulanto Thank you!
if i want to record hidden camera prank videos, so the cameraman needs to be far from the prank to record it, will this lens be the best option if i use the m50? Because of the zoom? currently im using the 15-45 but the zoom is not good so the cameraman is close to the prank
I'm not an expert in that genre of video and I don't know how far you need to be. This is a relatively long lens and it's much better than the 15-45mm that you are using now, but I don't know if you might need even longer lens.
@@mattisulanto and the 55-200?
Thank you for this video and reviews as well i hardly appreciate it
Salam, Sir I have M50 with mount adaptor, and 55-250mm aps-c lens, but I want more zoom, can you suggest for this lens I mean 70-300mm.
If you want more reach you may have look for another lens, because 300mm is not much more than 250mm
Great sir thanks
How do you think it would be with sports shots?
I did not try it in real sports, but I think it would be just fine. It depends a lot on the sports, of course. Formula one, football, curling are table tennis are all very different😀
@@mattisulanto true, just looking for some baseball shots
How well does it shoot video with this lens?
Very well, in my opinion.
@@mattisulanto okay I’m new and just learning and didn’t know if the same type of quality transferred over to video. Thank you!
I have a m50 what lenses should I get for protrain
I don't understand the question. What is protrain? Do you meant portrait?
Yllättävän hyvä kuvanlaatu nui pienessä kamerassa.Hyvä video
Kiitos.
Is m50 gud for photography
Great video >;-)
Thanks.
I thought the Tamron 70-300mm didn't work with the M50? Please let me know if this is true or not
I have not tried the Tamron on the M50, but all EF and EF-S lenses should work with the adapter.
Thank you.
Would you recommend this lens on m50 for wild life photography
I’m not a wildlife shooter, but I think this lens could work. It all depends of course what kind of wildlife you want photograph.
sulantoblog thanks for your reply. I was thinking maybe some birds or squirrels in my back yard, nothing to special. Dunno if you can call that “wild life” hahahaha
even better on speedbooster, much sharper
With viltrox speedbooster no crop sensor
1.1 crop and the corners loos image quality
yep great with a speedbooster, not for pixel peepers though
It's possible that the speedbooster degrades the image quality.
I'm using the much lighter Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM, and I am very happy with it.
I have never tried that, but I'm sure it's also fine.
I have that one also. I recently bought it but was wondering if I should return it and get something with more reach. I think 50mm more focal length at double the price is too much though.
@@snowwalker9999 tamron 70-300mm £110 is goood
@@user-ox8cy4et3m Yeah that one is cheap. Maybe I'll return mine get the tamron instead.
@@snowwalker9999 i wish i could return mine but i got it from tobydeals based in hongkong :(. Am still getting that one though reviews are very good.
speedboooster out now ef to eos m and early review looks good
Would be nice to try it.
sulantoblog looks v good even 3rd party lenses ef mounts on it
Is this works with M6 mark ii?
With the adapter it works on Canon M cameras.
@@mattisulanto thanks bro ❤️
COOL!
Does this work on metabones Xl EF-4/3rds?
I'm sorry, but I can't say, because I haven't tried.
How does sigma 150-600 mm work with Canon m 50?
I have never tried that, so can't really comment.
what camera did you use for this video
I used the EOS M50.
sulantoblog no. what accessories did u use ?
I had the EF-M 10-22mm zoom lens, the Rode VideoMicro microphone, a tripod and a led light.
sulantoblog much love! you’re real✌🏿
Does this fit on an Eos4000d
Yes, it fits all Canon EF mount cameras.
I wanted to see a moon photo, or a bird
I don’t shoot the moon😀
What about video?
If you need a telephoto lens for video, this lens works.
Canon 70-300mm lens ef m
70-300mm canon lens
🇮🇳
Can this work on the m50 Mark 2?
With the adapter it works on every Canon M mount camera.
