Hi Dave! Thank you for this amazing review! I recently got into photography and your video rally helped me to review all my options for a lens upgrade! Love it!
Hi, thanks for your nice comment, and thank you so much for watching, it’s really appreciated. I’m glad it’s helped you look at your options. Good luck with your photography journey. Kind regards David 📷👍
Thanks Phil, it’s great to hear that you love the 55-200, I’m sure your pleased you swapped it in for the ef-s lens you initially purchased. Thanks for your continued support, it’s really appreciated, kind regards David 😊📷👍
What a collection of lenses. Seems a challenge to carry them all, ha. Great quick review for each and sample images looks fantastic! But, what's the buzzing sound in the background? 📸🤩👍
Hi Arnel, thanks for watching, haha I don’t normally carry them all although it would be good exercise 🏋🏻 I’m puzzled about the background noise, it was fine until I uploaded it, so not sure, I’m going to do some tests with my microphone this weekend to see if that’s the problem. Hope it was not too distracting
Noise is like a grounded connection. My wild guess is, the mic receiver may not have been properly plugged into the camera recording the video, or, created as you transferred the recording to your computer.
Oops by the way sir Dave, have you tried taking a shot for each one of them at the same focal length? Just wondering if there are differences in the FOV.
The Sigma 18-200 Macro Contemporary is a joy. With the adapter ef-efm , you have covered 99% situations with a really good sharpness all the range and nice color rendition. Is my favourite all around. It is a lot better than the classic Sigma 18-250. I don't know why nobody talks about
@@mshafi4180 well, brand new yes, looking second hand is like 120-140 , and it is worth to pay that 30-40 extra bucks vs older zooms. Also the 18-300mm is so good, but i feel it is too heavy and that 100mm extra reach is not really a change in real life photos (is just a little crop if you had a 200mm sharp)
Nice one Dave. I have similar lenses ie sigma 18- 200mm and the two fm lenses 15-45mm and 50-200mm The sigma i love but it is a lump to carry on my M6. When out and about 15-45mm is cool for a walk about. i love the fm 22mm too. thanks again nice example's
Thanks Dave, it’s great to hear you have similar lenses. You are right the Sigma is great but bigger and heavier. I appreciate you watching and commenting. Kind regards David 👍📷😊
Nice comparison of these lenses Dave. Can you share your experience with the Sigma 18-250mm vs the canon zoom lenses? How is the Sigma sharpness when compared to the 18-150 and 55-250? Considering getting a new zoom lens and just wanted some feedback. Much Thanks
Hi Shane, I find the Canon 18-150mm ok but the Canon 55-200mm is much sharper. The Sigma EF-S 18-250 with the Viltrox adapter does produce sharp images for me however it is so much bigger, and the focus motor is really noisy so that puts me off a bit. But if you’re doing landscape photography then the Sigma is great for the range, I find it too big as a general carry around. So my go to lens as a pick up and go is the Canon 18-150mm. So it does depend on what you will use it for. As sharpness goes the Canon 55-200 and Sigma 18-250 are about the same. The two Canon win for lightness and size. Kind regards David
The buzzing is very distracting, tbh. To mitigate it, i found that lowering the volume to where you hear him more than the noise is quite helpful since his voice was picked up well by the mic. Thanks for the content always, David!
Really sorry about the buzzing, I had published it without realising. I appreciate you commenting and for watching. Thank you and kind regards David 📷👍
Very helpful video mate. What lens would you recommend for taking photos of red kites and aeroplanes that fly over my house? My camera is a Canon mirrorless. Cheers, Rick
A lot of people including me use the 55-200mm, but to be honest I don’t find it quite enough so something maybe around 400 as the top end an ef-s with an adapter. Just thoughts at the moment
@DavidLudlowPhotography Thank you David I just picked up one second hand. And i picked up a viltrox mount you recommended. And what about the other extremes what wold you recommend for close up detail pics. Cannon EF-M series seem to be avail in good quality on the second hand market.
@@mickhurley7305 hi Mick I have the ef-m 28mm macro lens that includes built in light but I actually find the ef-m 22mm lets you get close up and is good for wide angle and also street photography as it’s very small and discreet. By the way did you pick up an ef-m 55-200mm if so you would not require the adapter. Kind regards David
@@DavidLudlowPhotography Great advice, I will keep an eye out for an ef-m 22mm. I have the stock 15-45mm that came with the camera. I picked up the adapter so if I come across any other EF lenses I can fit them. Seems a shame this line is being discontinued.
What do you suggest is it worth investing in efm mounts lences as canon is abandoning this mount lens ... They will not be making any new ef m Mount camera...
Hi if I had not invested in so many lenses I would probably go for the newer R range of cameras. But now I have them and have the Canon m50 mark ii and the m6 mark ii I am happy they should last years and continue to give me excellent images. Regards David
What do you suggest is it what investing in efm mounts lences as canon is abandoning this mount lens ... They will not be making any new ef m Mount camera...
I find that the range of Canon and third party lenses gives you enough choice to keep this mount going for a fair whole. However if I was investing now I would probably go for one of the crop sensors in the R range although the choice of native lenses is fairly limited at the moment
Hello David! Could you tell us which presets did you choose for your M50? I also have it and it seems to me that the quality is not as good as I see in other people. Thanks!
Hi, I actually do not use presets. I tend to use manual mode and adjust accordingly and sometimes TV or AP mode. I shoot everything in RAW and process using Lightroom without presets. Kind regards David
Thanks, David. I really like the sharpness in your photos. Would you consider creating a video of the manual settings you used to capture these photos with the different lens?
Hi Roberto, and thanks. I've not got video footage with the 32mm but have created several UA-cam videos to see the results of the 32mm. It's probably one of the best and sharpest prime lenses. Here is a link to the playlist ua-cam.com/play/PL3H9INU8GfVNyHueV9rznUZGdO3MKnHVW.html&si=fzBQg5XYsg9At0H4 regards David
Hi Sir, I have a Canon M50. I carry this on my travelling, because of its compact size and good to take photo. Recently I accidentally went to a Bird Sanctuary, there I felt the need of zoom lens. Do I go for a Sigma 18-250 lens with an adapter or any other cheap option to have zoom lens..
Hi I did exactly the same, I had my 18-150 and that was not enough. I haven’t taken my 18-250 back there yet but hoping it’s going to get me closer, although I spoke with a few photographers there and the sizes of lenses they had were up to 600mm full frame. I think the 18-250 is a great starting point for the price as 250mm on the m50 is equivalent to 400mm on a full-frame camera. Kind regards David 📷👍
Hi thanks for you comment/request, at the moment I have the Meike 50mm manual lens. I will see if I can source the 7artisans. In the meantime here is a link to the playlist for the Meike 50mm ua-cam.com/play/PL3H9INU8GfVNKvU-rMugFfQ9lJAW4dOFE.html
Hello David. Would you recommend the Canon EF-M 18-150mm for portrait and landscape and photography? I just have the kit lens and looking to upgrade but not sure which lens would be the best for that.
Hi, I personally love the 18-150 and I tend to use it as my go to lens rather than the kit lens. The 18-150 stays on my camera so I can just grab the camera. It’s a great range to work with for most types of photography. Kind regards David 📷👍

Hi Arnel I’ve not purposely done that but will think about that for a future video. 👍
I like the 18-250 all in one lens
Yes it is excellent as it covers a good range from wide to zoomed in. Regards David 📷👍

It’s way more expensive no?
