Edit: I've sold my Canon M50 for a worse camera: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zqinm7p40p3ZdWw.html Original post: Because they ace headshots! 🤣🤣🤣 What kind of lenses are you using for your EF-M cameras? I would love to hear! 🤩

I bought all my lens ef-m and used at a great price for my m50 mark ii , I like the fact that they are really small and lightweight! I have the kit lens, the 22mm, 35mm and the 55 to 200mm :)

Sigma 17-50 and 18-35 are made for apsc cameras so If you put a speedbooster you notice a vignette in the corners

I bought an M5 several years ago as a "fun" camera, planning to use it primarily for street and perhaps some travel photography. (I use five DSLRs and about 18 lenses for "work") I wanted to keep my M5 kit small, light and relatively inexpensive. I also wanted to avoid zooms, since I grew up using mostly primes, back in the days when most zooms really sucked. Sort of an "old school" method was what I wanted. Initially I went with all manual focus lenses: Meike (Opteka) 12mm f/2.8, Rokinon 21mm f/1.4, Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 II and adapted a Tamron 90mm macro I already had. I soon discovered I wasn't nearly as good manual focusing as I was 25 or 30 years ago. Or maybe I just got spoiled by AF. Whatever the reason, I was really struggling with the manual focus lenses, so I replace three of them with: Canon EF-M 22mm f/2, Sigma 56mm f/1.4 and Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 adapted (Commlite) with a set of macro extension tubes (Viltrox). I kept using the Meike 12mm because it's manual focus wasn't an issue. On the one hand, the type of shots I tend to use it for typically allow time for focusing, plus such a wide lens has a lot of depth of field making precise focus less critical than, say, a large aperture telephoto. I considered the three Viltrox lenses (23mm, 33mm, 56mm and all f/1.4), even waiting for tgem to be intro'd in EF-M mount... But was disappointed to see them only offered painted silver. I wanted black to be as unobtrusive as possible, for street shooting (though they appear to be excellent and would look especially nice in one of the silver M-series cameras). I also just wasn't interested in 33mm "normal" lenses and didn't feel the Sigma 16mm was wide enough (plus it's rather hefty). This has been working out well. The while kit of camera, 4 lenses and all the accessories in a small shoulder bag weigh less than some of my DSLR lenses by themselves. It's a fun kit to shoot with, though I still had two problems. One was the lens hood for the EF-M 22mm... It's silly. Instead I got a 43mm screw in metal, ventilated, generic hood. It nearly doubles the size of the lens, although still the smallest in my bag. I leave the hood on all the time and cap it for storage, rather than the lens. I only remove the good when I want to use a filter (a screw in hood works better with filters, anyway). $5 off ebay. The other problem was the camera seemed quite small and fiddly to shoot with, after using big DSLRs with lenses that weigh 3, 6 or even 8 lb. for many years. I accidentally solved that, too. I was looking for an Arca-Swiss plate to fit the M5 and there simply aren't a lot of them. Then I found an L-bracket (also ebay... made in China, of course) and for $16 incl. shipping figured it was worth a try. I didn't expect much and am not a fan of L-brackets, never use them on my larger cameras. However I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent quality and perfect fit, plus that the bracket added just a little bulk to the camera that made it much more comfortable to shoot with! I'm quite happy with my M5 kit now. The only thing I might change is that I would rather have a 100mm or 105mm lens, instead of the 85mm. I've considered getting the Sigma 105mm macro in EF mount, but it's larger than I like. And I already have a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro... Great lens, but also bulky. Canon used to make an EF 100mm f/2 USM (non macro) that I might try. It's almost exactly the same size as the EF 85mm f/1.8... But harder to find. When I need close up ability, I could still use the macro extension rings, too, same as with the 85mm.

I have the speedbooster and the following lens: Canon EF 24-105 f4 , Canon EF 16-35 2,8, Canon EF-M 15-45mm and Canon EF-M 50-200mm. Yep, the L senses are phenomenal, but they are also pretty heavy. In the end, I just feel more confortable going out with the smaller lenses. A perfect lense doesnt make sense when you feel less inclined to take it out for photography.

Tim ! You are killing it with these videos man! Very very good job bro! With the music and the cuts this really really looks professional.

Thank you for putting a video together on this. I don’t understand why all the reviews complain about a lack of lenses - the EF adapters, not even a speed booster, allow you to take advantage of the used market and pick up high-quality L-lenses as people are offloading their EF gear for RF lenses.

Sigma 16mm f1.4 is a must have for video. I pair it with 7Artisans 50mm f0.95 for my close ups.

Fun video. While the EF-M lineup is a tad sparse you touched on a key point with it's adaptability. Ones that I've tried with some success I'll mention. With Viltrox EF-EF-S: 40mm 2.8 pancake, the older EF 28-105mm zoom, it's lighter than the 24-105L. With the standard EF-S to EF: 24mm 2.8 pancake, 10-18mm, and 55-250mm efs (great lightweight options). Plus you can go vintage manual focus lenses with other adapters.

Love the EF-S 10-18mm, EF 40mm F2.8 (extremely sharp), EF 100mm F2 on my M6 Mark2

Very helpful points, thanks! I’ve got an M50ii with kit lens but been looking for a wider lens for vlogging and yoga videos I shoot. But since the EF-M range seems like its dying, I’m close to buying the EF-S 10-18mm with viltrox adapter. I figure if I ever move up beyond the M50 it’ll probably be to the new RF aps-c before I attempt full frame, so at least that lens can move with me too. I like that it’s also got a small form factor (even if it’s not the fastest lens!) 👍

Another thing to consider the speedbooster made the lenses softer so if you shoot stills its a problem, if you only shoot video isnt important

I think the best thing about Ef-m system is compact size to performance. I am traveling a lot for climbing or fishing and you dont want to pull RF mount camera and lenses in your backpack because of place. Canon M50 is for my nice compromise with sigma ef-m lenses and its stil small and lightweight. Yes i can buy Sony A6xxx but i dont like the shape of A6xxx

I currently own the Canon "15-45mm 3.5 to 6.3 kit lens", "55-200mm 4.5 to 6.3 telephoto lens" and the Sigma 30mm 1.4 EF-M lens. Already ordered the Sigma 16mm and 56mm 1.4 to complete the Sigma EF-M trio. I own the M50 (Mark II)

I watched your video and I have some questions. I am very new to photography and just bought the Canon M50M2 yesterday. I was recommended the 55-200mm lens since we will be going to BC and want to capture lots of photos of mountains, etc. After your video, I am hesitant to buy it and see about now buying a EF lens. For someone who is a beginner wanting to take photos and videos of family and this vacation, but may have it turn into a hobby, what type of lens do you recommend? Totally scrap the thought of EF-M lenses and invest in EF? Terminology is so new to me and I am still figuring it all out (thank you KZfaq), so you are actually my first video in all this research! Thanks for sharing your opinions :)

LOL This was great. Thank you for all of this information!

I don't think Canon will kill the EOS-M lineup in the future since the small sized cameras are really interesting for amateurs, streamers and vloggers. The lens lineup they offer already is covering those customers needs quite good so I doubt too many new lenses will be added to the lineup. I just see them updating the cameras and lenses they already have every now and then to adapt to new technologies since that will be a really economic way to fill that market segment and not completely surrender it to Sony and their Alpha 5000-6000 cameras. Still I have mostly EF(-S) glass on my M50 MkII since it is just so much cheaper to get second hand. Other than that I just have the 15-45mm and 22mm EF-M and also a Helios 44M. So even with me not seeing the mount die soon we come to the same conclusion ^^

How is the lightweight of the EF-M 22mm a con? When the whole purpose of the EOS M line is the compact and lightweight of the entire system? The best camera is the one you have on you. And when you can carry a small camera like the M50 paired with a lens like the 22mm means you’ll most likely wanna carry it with you than a big heavy set up with a lens that’s bigger than the camera body plus an adaptor.

I have the Mark2 M50. I have the regular Viltrox adapter. I have a EFS 18-135 and 17-50 Sigma. I also have Viltrox Lens 33mm F1.4

The Sigma 56mm 1.4 is a must for M6ii. Sharp like hell. Can be cropped to pixel level..

The ef-s 55-250mm stm is my favorite lens to adapt. When paired with the 15-45mm kit lens and a fast 23mm prime I can cover pretty much every shot I may want to shoot. The ef-m equivalent caps out at 200mm. The loss in focal length is not worth the savings in weight imo. The lens still fits in my small 6L peak design sling with my other two lenses so it passes the portability test in my eyes. Id be interested to see how well a speed booster would fit into my setup. Not sure how often I’d use it which is the only thing holding me back atm.

Thanks:) I’m glad I did that

I bought into the EF-M system because it was compact and the lenses were light and it offered enthusiasts the larger APS-C sensor based system similar in size to MFT equipment but with a larger sensor. For the last few years the EF-M mount has been kept going by Sigma, Viltrox and various manual lenses from Chinese companies. The problem with using adaptors is that you end up buying large and heavier EF / EF-S lenses defeating the purpose of buying a small compact system. So thanks Canon for abandoning users of the EF-M mount. I have started to 'future-proof' as best as one can, by eventually abandoning Canon, as a reward, for MFT & the Sony E system, although with the trend for APS-C cameras increasing in bulk (such as the alpha 6700) you may as well own a FF camera if they're going to be a similar size.

The nifty fifty is a great portret lens on a crop camera. I can really recommend it.

Already bought the viltrox speedboster m2 for my m50

Great video Tim! Loving al the B-Roll you're adding! Keep it up! 💪

I bought into this system for its small size and weight, therefore using the much larger and heavier EF lenses doesn’t make sense. Furthermore, you can buy the ef-m lenses used for very cheap, nothing much too loose there.

Does the ef 50mm lens with adapter give excellent performance with m6ii for portrit!؟!؟ Or i go with canon 850d with out adapter

Yes the 22mm f2 is amazing as a pancake lens its sooo small which is soooo gooood! Good for astro!

Hi! thanks for video. a question, when you use speedbooster with sigma17-50, does it result in vinieting?

Hi 👋 You discussed my very concern in this video. I am just an Hobbyist n I wany to buy my first camera - preferabky canon APSC camera. But canon has closed production of it's DSLR lineup n even i think they will continue with RF Mount only. I feel M mont will also suffer. Well that's my gut feel. No such announcement from canon yet. So, I don't want to invest in EF-S Mount and at the same time afraid to buy an M Mount- to be specific M50ii. So I m like tied up now, can't buy -till the announcement goes off from canon - we are launching our RF crop sensor camera 😊 What should I do ? Any good lenses(canon/Sigma/viltrox) that can be used in future on RF mount as well ? Hope you got my problem 😸 👋 👍 🙏

How did you connect the sigma 17-50mm to the speedbooster?

im a M6ii user, hope there will be more 3rd party lens released in ef-m mount... is canon blocking this?

Great video bro!

EF M is shockingly versatile. The things you can download on them makes them almost as good as cinema cameras.

I have the m6 mk2 with the volt rod speed booster using the sigma 17-50mm. For some reason you can see vignetting from the lense any way I can fix it?

what about helios 44?

I think you are referring the out of focus area as the Bokeh..

Great video, but how were you able to adapt the EF-S lenses on a speedbooster? From what I know speedboosters only support EF lenses.

This is a very useful video 👍

What do you think about the 30mm f1.4 sigma ef m?

do you get vignetting with the speed booster and sigma 17-50? isn’t the lens made for crop sensor cameras and not full frame?

I have 7artisans, Meike and Sigma for my M6M2.

סרטון מעולה תודה. עדשת 55-250 EF-S ,תעבוד עם המתאם הזה ועם ה M50?

You sure are cleaver. Thanks for the non-sensical video title. No, I didn't watch your video. I clicked on it out of frustration in regareds to your title to leave this comment.

👏👏👏
