Thanks to your recommendation I’ve just bought the M50mark 2 camera and the accessories you’ve spoke of for our channel 🙌🏼

Hi Mark, I like your review videos. I feels like you are always straight forward to the topic and provide only necessary info for the audience which is great and time efficient. And I see that your video quality has been consistently increasing in the past few years. Same time it would be interesting if you could provide more content on technique wise topic rather than only gear. Keep up the good work!

@markwiemels Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your kind words! Yes, I totally agree with the need for more technique videos, that was my intent from the outset and I have drifted away from that lately. I will try to do more of those videos in the future, thanks for asking.

This is a great list. I ordered my M50 Mark II before seeing this video, but after watching the first few minutes, I immediately ordered some of the exact accessories you recommended. Question about the lens hood: is it supposed to snap on over the UV filter? I'm used to screw-on lens hoods for my old Nikon DSLR, so at first I thought I must have gotten a bad product (or that the lens hood wasn't compatible with the lens while the UV filter was on), but after fiddling with it for awhile it does seem to snap on okay--just feels very awkward doing that. Related question: what is the proper orientation of the lens hood? I'm assuming the longer blades should be at the top and bottom of the lens, but I'm not really sure. Thanks!

I only use UV filters in windy beach type conditions. Just don't want that cheap piece of glass in the way. Honestly a scratch to the front of your lens will kill it's resale value but almost never does much damage to the final image. Scratch the rear element is another story, that will ruin your images. Watch Chris Nichols take a drill to the front of a lens and then get good results from it. Not sure if he did that with DPreview or The camera store but he did it and it was amazing :). I like the looks of that lowepro bag. I have the M6II and a few lenses and it looks perfect for that as well.... I also have the smallrig for the M6II and love it...Thanks....

Thanks! Your videos are very useful to learn more about my M50 and what accessories i buy. The next thing on my wish list is a good UV Filter. Unfortunately the link here does not work in the europe amazon shop. The only question I have which brand and type of filter do you recommend.

I’ll probably get most of these. Question, if you don’t mind. I have the weebill S. Is there any sort of Mount/adapter you know of that’ll allow me to keep the weebill plate on and move camera to a tripod without having to screw it off? Probably not doable, but thought I’d ask. Thanks!

I think you can get an arca swiss clamp that goes on the gimbal, that will allow you to do this.

Given the 3.5x price difference, what's the reason for recommending the Peak Design strap + cuff combo versus your previous recommendation from Op/Tech?

@markwiemels Жыл бұрын

Functionally, they are not that different, and I still recommend the Op/Tech strap as a great budget option. The Peak Design is a longer, which is helpful for someone tall like me, it's made from better quality materials and does slide around the body nicely when you bring the camera up to your eye.

Hello, thank you for the informative video! I bought the lens UV filter and lens hood. I'm having trouble installing the lens hood over the UV filter, curious if anyone else has had that issue.

@markwiemels Жыл бұрын

I have had a couple of people say the same, not sure what the issue might be. Is the filter wider than end of the lens? Also make sure the large lens good pedals are top and bottom, not on the sides.

Hi mark your channel is really underrated. I also have a question for you, iam a beginner and wants to learn about how to take good shots and wanting to but mark2. But i often heard in photography that it's not the camera, it's the person behind camera responsible for good shots. So my question is what are those skills i have to learn to really become good at taking photos.

I’m not sure. Maybe check the screen off/power saving function, which is seperate from the review function.

Hey Mark...I still have the original M50, and I'm heading to Australia for a year long solo motorcycle female tour....Question..please advise... I only have the standard lens that came with, what 2 other lens would you take? I have some space on the bike, and want really good pictures scenic as well as up close..besides using my go pros and probably a insta 360 for the moto travels... if you can recommend videos on lens or even the best light weight compact tripod videos..much thanks ..

@markwiemels Жыл бұрын

I would likely take the Sigma 16mm and the Canon 55-200. Sigma for low light and the 55-200 to get those shots of things that are far away.

@matthewjutzen424 Жыл бұрын

For close up shots, I'd suggest getting an adapter and getting an old lense (in my case, I got an m42 mount adapter and the Helios 44-2 lens) or for an even cheaper option, there are adapters that could make your kit lens similar to a macro lens. For a well rounded lens that can handle scenic shots and close-up, I'd recommend the Sigma 16mm and that's all you need to be honest, depending on the amount of spare $ you got. Also get a UV filter.

I have not tested any sorry, but the options might be limited. There is an app that will do it, but I"m not sure about a seperate device, as the M50 does not have the same connectivity as many of the other Canon Cameras, so most of the intervalometer wont work.

With both zippers down to the corner, like I have done in the video, and side latches in place, it’s almost impossible for a thief to quickly undo the bag, or do it without you knowing. Other than locking the bag, there isn’t anything that is much safer.
