Do you still have this lense? Are you happy with it? I have also the m3 and I search a tele mostly for street photography.

I'm trying to decide on this very issue. I think portability and less weight with the efm is the biggest advantage

Well you can use the efs on more cameras, efm mount is deadend

@@cammac66 lighter on the M6 though.

@@cammac66 ef-m is not dead. ef-s lenses are the types that Canon is officially starting to discontinue.

@@barkatthemoonlunatic1715 oops i mean u cant use efm with other mounts, just exclusively with efm

That's a good deal imo.

davey b I bought the creator kit and the mic didn’t work, so Rode promised to send me the Video Mic Pro instead. They sent me the Video Mic Go again, and told me to keep it and they’ll send me the PRO too 😂👌🏻

I was wondering that. I ordered the EF-S 55-250mm IS STM and right after learned about this. Your comment reassures me I made the right choice. I have large hands and don't mind a slightly larger, heavier lens if it means better image quality. That goes double if the higher quality images come from a cheaper lens!

@@bodinian i think i would order the canon 70-300mm ef lens instead for the extra 100mm in reach!

I agree but the key here is "size and weight". The EF-S is much bigger.

can you use the ef-s lenses on ef m mounts?

​@@frogmere8500 need an adapter

Ok, I already have both lenses. And I can tell 55-200 is so much better. Focusing, sharpness is good. 15-45 is really basic.

Joodh Ahmed Naseer I’ve heard but not confirmed myself adapted lenses suffer slower auto focus...?

Paul Safford Well my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM works just fine and fast on my EOS M6

Paul Safford Perhaps it depends on the lens and the camera, like using a Canon lens on a Sony

To be honest that shouldnt happen as the EF-M and EF/EF-S autofocus programming is the same, its just an electrical passthough. The only thing that should make a difference is the quality of the adaptor and whether the flange distance is correct and the internal wiring is sound. Other brand lenses other than canon shouldnt be effected either as its just a poassthough.

diediedie295 True but the data transfer format maybe different across brands just like the mount, if so there maybe a delay in focus, but yes EF and EF-S lenses work perfectly on my EOS M6

Yes

The 55-250 will be a bit better (but much bulkier)

@@christopherfrost Just a bit better? Will it be worth it?

Hehe, cool :-)

Hi! Just wondering if you ever got the Tamron 18-400mm and what your thoughts on it were? I have the Canon m50 (kit 15-45mm and the 22mm f/2.0) and am currently considering what other lenses to buy.. I was going to go for this 50-200mm lens but my friend suggested the Tamron so I'm quite torn. Thank you!

Personally, I would wait for the Tamron 100-400 VC to come out, and use that one, with an EF-EF-M adaptor

Christopher Frost Photography, I guess you’ll test it as soon as you can ? :P The Sigma 100-400 you found auto focus wasn’t all that great on the M3, right ? I’m also considering buying a Canon 70-300 L (I figured the good sharpness gives me opportunity to crop) or 100-400 L mk1, but I think I’ll check if I can try one first by renting one, if that’s possible.

Go for 800

​@@christopherfrost I got a Canon m50 and I want to get a telephoto lense ... which would you suggest I get ?? the 55-250 ef or the 55-200 ef-m ???

This is an EF-M lens. So it will fit straight onto Canon's mirrorless cameras, like the M10

Will that be a EFM lens?

I don't review cameras - not enough time I'm afraid!

Depends on if I wanted a superzoom lens or a telephoto zoom lens

I'd just get the EF-M lens - adaptors are annoying to me

I have the same question except I have the M6mkii. I actually have both lenses you mentioned (oh and the 18-55 as well) and I'm trying to decide whether I should return the 55-200. The 55-250 ef-s seems to be about twice as big but in the grand scheme it's not a huge lens. It has an extra .5 aperture brightness and the equivalent of 80mm greater reach on the zoomed in end. I had the m lens 55-200 for a couple of weeks before I got the ef,-s 55-250 and I wasn't happy with the sharpness when reviewing my images but I'm new to this so it's hard to say if it's user error. I really like the extra reach of the 250 and I'm not seeing a lack of sharpness. The "pocketability" of the 200 is hard to beat and I may find that the 250 with lens hood is a bit indiscrete for say, street photography. I'm not considering sending the 250 back so if I could only have one, that would be my choice. Sorry for the ramble. Would love to hear what Christopher has to say now he has the higher res M6mkii.

I will post a picture of the two lenses on my Facebook page and make it public. Please give it a like if you look at it so I know that works. Facebook.com/dOGHAIR

@@daveybphotography Tank you for your input, its a touch decision from the sounds of it, mostly the review say the 55-250 is the better lens form the two, but I saw another video and the guy says the native lens after his testing. My local store has a 55-250 used so Im checking that out tomorrow, they don't have the native zoom so Im not going to be able to compare. the used one is a great deal so if I like how it handles I may just get that at least its not going to be as heavy as my 70-200L then if I can borrow or see a killer deal on the native lens and get that latter. Just wish Canon would do a few more lenses for us users. The M5 is turning out to be a lovely little camera

@@raysrcsandtech It'll be good for your decision to be able to see it in person. FYI, I got a new international version EF-S with a few cheap filters and cheaper macro screw on lenses with a decent rubber hood for $188 on Amazon The ef-m I got was "Amazon renewed" (looks new) for $247. From what I'm learning, the 24 megapixel sensors are more forgiving if the lens you use is not pin sharp. I'd like to find the other review you mentioned. My 55-200 is boxed up and I'm close to hitting that return button so I'd like to get some last minute info to feel more sure about it.

@@daveybphotography Let me check my KZfaq history I have watched so many videos on this lens Im starting to get lost :)

Well...you've summed up the differences pretty well, there :-)

But is it sharper with the adapter, that’s the question ...

Don't have time, unfortunately

Is broke.

No. As I said, it's for mirrorless cameras only

Maybe one day

No

Reviewed it, you mean? A review will come out eventually

Not really but it'll be a start

a bit late to respond so i'll just ask which one did you end up getting?

@Marko g'day, I baught it three month ago and its a good item for basic camera 😉

a bit late to respond so i'll just ask which one did you end up getting?

@@markec123 this one as the other was so big

You need a f1.8 at least for portraits. Sigma has a 30 and 50 mm lenses for Canon EF-M mount. I have been waiting for them a few months before caving and getting a Canon 32mm as the Sigma sells out instantly when they get in stock. And you won't miss IS, these are incredibly fast lenses, i can take decent hand-held pictures even shortly after sunset or near artificial lightning like neon signs.

@@necrisro "You need a f1.8 at least for portraits" - that's not entirely true. I've taken some great portraits on an old 135mm f2.8 I bought in a charity shop. Use what you have,

This lens will not work with T3. EF-M lenses only work with the M series cameras. For T3, you'll need an EF-S lens, of which there are many.

u can sold ur 18-55 and buy 18-150

his previous videos were in 4k, so i would assume so.

This particular video was actually made quite a while ago, before I was editing in 4k

Don't think so - there might be some weird adaptor out there somewhere

...it's not even out yet!

Yup. It's an EF-M lens

Thanks bro I smashed that like button

55-200mm. So if you want it this way, about 2.9x

I'm not sure what you mean by 'regular camera' - if you mean compact cameras then they have much smaller sensors

I have a review coming one day

Christopher Frost Photography thank you!

Most telephoto zoom lenses have dark apertures. Unless you want to pay thousands for a professional grade lens, any telephoto zoom lens will have a narrow maximum aperture. And that's not even taking into consideration how small THIS lens is, in comparison to other similar lenses.

Maybe one day

Christopher Frost Photography Thanks Chris! I take your reviews most seriously and I try to get lenses that you review. I just bought a camera deal on Craigslist and it had a 10-22mm lens in the package, and a 28-105mm II lens. I paid 200usd for it all, with an XTi and 430ex flash!

This is an M lens - different mount! You would need an EF-EOS M Mount Adapter to use your lens on a Canon EOS M system camera.

It's a different design

Canon's 'L' lenses are mostly made of plastic, and they have good build quality

Dyson vacuum cleaners are plastic, riot shield plastic! Plastic can be very strong.

of course , you can use it the lens is for canon m camera

TheBobes 4.5-6.3 to make it compact. It would be bigger physically with the typical 4-5.6.

I agree. Saying it's pretty good is like saying a dinner at McDonald's is "pretty good." I had spent so many years buying cheap Canon stuff thinking it was "pretty good" and then got a he!! of a surprise when I bought my first Fuji mirrorless camera. No wonder people are flocking to Sony or Fuji for mirrorless.

I get that but I prefer good lenses over compact lenses. :)

TheBobes Good aps c Canon lenses? They don't exist.

theizza68 ef-s 24mm stm is good

I talk about that in the video

Fahad Bin Sakhawat No that's my favourite colour hehe

Nothing wrong with a bit of yellow text

Why?

No, as I said in the review, it's only for Canon's EOS M mirrorless cameras

@@christopherfrost unless you buy an adaptor ofc
