I bought my M50 a few months ago and I appreciate that you still make videos for it. Aside from the 22mm and the kit lens, I'm just adapting some old EF-S lenses I've been holding on to. I don't have any questions now but keep up the good work! Because of you I'm considering the Sigma 16mm now.

If you already have this camera I would not get rid of it. You can always use a second or a third camera shooting a video or photo from a different angle and this camera is very capable.Or you could lend it to a friend who is very enthusiastic without worrying too much. I would even consider getting a couple of the lenses that you mentioned (Definitely the Sigma 16mm and the Pancake 22mm). However if you are just starting out and can spend a few hundred dollars more I would consider getting the R10 or the R50 as their lens mount is more future proof.

I bought the mkii three months ago and I’m not new to photography but nowhere near a pro. I have the 50mm lens and someone lent me a 150mm zoom to play with. But I totally love the kit lens at 15mm (24mm FF). I love the results I get with it and for portraits, I still have the 50mm for the blur. The wider angle is great and I’d really to try at 10-20mm lens with the speed booster attached. Just a thought - I chose the M50 for many reasons but I really liked the compactness and to be honest, how it looked. I don’t want a monster camera that I have to lug around. For this reason, I wouldn’t get the cage, even though I fully accept your reasons for getting one.

I love my M50 I have bought tons of vintage lenses and with the adapters out there I am able to just continue getting amazing shots. The video capabilities leave something to be desired (or maybe I am just bad at taking video) but overall its a great camera for the price.

Please continue to make videos for the M50! It’s still known as the THE YouTube camera for canon users. Most ppl buy the M50 because their favorite YouTubers still use it, so it’s like an endless cycle. 😂 I use my M50 as a travel camera! I want to get better at utilizing its capabilities, so these videos always help! The only other channel I know of that still talks about the M50 is Mark Weimels and even he has kind of moved on from M50 content. So please keep going 🙏🏾

Great video! I have had my M50 since 2020 and still getting used to it. I mainly take portraits on it for my makeup business. So will definitely look into these lens!

[jenniknepper]

I would like to see what your camera looks like when you have the protector cage on it.

Nice vid! I bought my M50 MII a little over a month ago, so definitely looking forward to using in 2023 and beyond. I opted for a Viltrox F1.4 56mm as my first lens after the kit lens, and I’ve been happy with the purchase so far. That Sigma 16mm looks great, though I’m still debating whether I should buy one down the road.

the Boka effect behind you, that's what I wanna get with my M50, thanks for the valuable content man

[TheUrbandilema]

Awesome work 👍 again...M50 is totally work and fine For 2023...love the Rembrandt lighting very cinematic.
Secondly need to get the efm 22 for my kit..u forgot the canon EF 24 2.8 or 50 mm 1.8 both awesome for photo as 24 gets 40mm focal length and 80mm ..
Have a great day and last tip was the best one...manual is totally great

Snag the Canon 32mm f/1.4, yeah its a bit on the pricey side but oh my.. absolutely tack sharp. Probably on my M6 mkII 70% of the time.

[kellmarktv]

Is this a second yt channel 🤔. However love the m50 and sigma 👌🏽

[kellcoleStyleEnt]

Thanks i was looking for this information

[thealhbrand]

Thank you so much for these awesome tips.

If you have limited lens choices why would you get both the 22mm and the 30mm? Wouldn't it make more sense to get the 22mm and the Sigma 56mm so your prime lens are not quite as close together? (and the kit lens covers that entire range so its not like you don't have a 30mm (or the 22mm for that matter), but it doesn't cover 56mm). I have no idea what I'm talking about so tell me why the obvious answer is still the wrong answer.

Nice video Andrew. Just ordered one as a light small camera to carry around (instead of always taking my bulky DSLR). Didn't want a compact or the like to went for the M50. It had what I needed on it so hopefully its not a bad buy. Obviously wont be my main camera but hopefully it will perform to my needs. Will defo look into the adaptor as not many lenses available with the M mount as canon switch the to newer RF mount instead. Stay Safe.

Hello Andrew,
I have the same old camera - Canon M50 and also have the lens - Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN.
I am still learning and new.
Please let me know how you get so beautiful bokeh effect as you are in this video . I tried a lot with the sigma lens but unable to know how to do.
If possible, please do make a video tutorial on this . Even though i have the lens i mentioned, i am unable to know how to use that to get the desired results.
I wanted to do my guitar playing recording with bokeh effect, but i am failing to do with this Sigma lens
Thanks !

At this point in time puchasing EFM lenses it's not a good recommendation considering they can only be use on EFM Cameras. Is better going with EF mount and the adapter.

[renix]

Woh amazing video. My camera is m50 mark II. My photos are mostly about family and landscape.
What do u suggest as first lens to buy after standard kit, between canon 22 mm - sigma 30 mm - canon 50 mm.
Is better adaptator or speed booster viltrox?
Thank you

[shania]

Do I need the adapter for the 30mm if I have the canon mark ii? I really need a lenses that is good for all photography…mostly studio shoots and lifestyle shoots tho
