Dude, you are the most real KZread person that I watched for a long time. Big fan now. I’m going to watch your past videos and cry for missed opportunities to get free stuff. 😔✌️
the most calm upset energy here lmao
I love this guy. he's like the fu professor that actually makes me want to retain the knowledge even if I have to replay certain points because I just keep getting distracted fiddling with my new camera. as someone switching from film to digital, these videos really do come in handy. stay inspirational brother.
Keep your head up, i think this proves that we are here for you knowledge and not just for your free stuff. you are an incredibly generous person, keep up the great work!
I won a badass light from you back in December, and I'm happy with my Canon M1 with the adapted vintage lenses I've slowly acquired over the past year. Best of luck to those who submitted their names to the hat!
Try not to get discouraged Markus...your videos are terrific! I watch all of them, and learn something new in each one.
Watched it all the way to the end and I appreciate the valuable, straight to the point information! keep it up man
The Canon 55-200mm EF-M tele is also incredibly good. I've picked up one used for $120 including shipping from eBay. Best deal ever.

I watched to the end, I swear. Congrats to the winners! Hope everyone's safe and doing okay. You're wonderful and your enthusiasm for cameras is so much fun to watch. Take care.
I love the effort you put into these videos ! Thank you for blessing so many !
I think your channel and reviews are so personal.. i love it!!
fantastic video as always loads of information and brilliantly high quality. I have been debating going to EF-M for a while now, i recently spoke to the guys over at the Canon live online chat and they filled me in about the m6ii
Thanks guys!!!! I need to learn more practical with flash outside. Stunning pictures Markus and Cara!
New to the channel. I picked up the M50 to get away from the 80D and the 7D mk II, I haven’t used either camera since buying the M50. I’m 71 and this little jewel with the native lenses is perfect to carry around and take great photos. I have all the Canon native M lenses except the 32 mm. I love the sigma 56 mm it’s a perfectly sharp lens for portraits. I picked up a canon 10-18 cheap and love it for landscape and structural photos. Basically having a lot of fun with the Canon M 50.
Just found your videos and I love it! Keep it up! Very informational. You made me take my m50 back out of my bag.
Hey Markus I really appreciate your videos and have learned a lot from you. Please keep 'em coming!
Truly a great video and you deserve more subs, I really appreciate a heart felt description of each lens characteristics. You channel with swell in time, it will come I am sure.
I just found your channel Markus, great videos! Most chill photography reviewer and you really go into all the details and cover a lot of lenses that I've never heard of. Keep up the great work man! You definitely stand out in an exceptional way!, I wish this algorithm would have let me found your channel sooner. You have my support!

I watched to the end because you are a good man. I enjoyed this. Thanks.
Thank you Markus for your videos, always interesting - keep on doing such videos !
You are the best! not only for be the more knowledge and humble photographer ever , also you bless people with good stuff!
totally agree mate! I find the most joy in shooting with cheaper/budget lenses and getting as good if not better results than the super expensive lenses
Well next giveaway I bet there were A LOT more than 4 people :D Also, respect for not canceling it. Video super useful, pushed me another small step towards getting the EF 50mm with an adapter (thinking about getting a speed booster) for the M50 So thanks. Also I watched till the very end - it was educational and inspiring :) Great vibes keep it up
I only now stumbled across your video. With everything crazy going on, I've had an unboxed M6-MKII sitting on my shelf for over a year. So after all this time, I've been wondering if it was still a viable camera and if there were any new lenses since I seem to remember that there were only a few available. Needless to say, I'm glad to see I have some good options. I should also mention that it's awesome to have a KZread host who doesn't come off as condescending and actually seems like a real and relatable person. So take care and thanks again for the great review.
Excellent comparison, and really easy to watch, too. Thank you!
Thanks for your video. I have not seen many videos from you recently, and I am not sure why. I am going to look back and see what I missed. Stay safe and keep on keeping on.
That is crazy about the number of people who got in on your giveaway. I didn't because I have an M50 already and wanted to give others a chance to get a good Canon M mount camera. I've actually seen these results on my channel giveaways too. Yes, I'm no where near your channel subscribers but I digress...lol .. Keep up the awesome videos. I've learned so much from watching your videos and I really appreciate your channel content.
I think You do a great job and it does inspire me to go out and take photos ....thanks Markus please keep on making videos ...
Great channel just found you after getting a EOS M5 and searching for info on lenses, my main rig 5D2 and Im really amazed by this M5 and even the kit lens. Just picked up the dapper and 55-250 STM lens, now looking for a deal on the 22mm EF-M, My question is do you have a preferred brand for ND and CP filter? in regards for use on the EF-M lenses
Ok its two years later but I watched your video to the end. Sorry I missed your giveaway. lol I'm 60 years old and just started becoming a photographer. The video really helped me out on which lens to buy for the ef-m system. Loved the comparison at the end and decided to strive to be a better photographer by skill rather then by equipment. Merry Xmas dude.
Hello Markus just came across your post and found it so informative and entertaining thanks. I have a M50 still getting the hang of it but love it. Anyway please take care in this aweful time we are all going thru stay safe and look forward to your future oposts see ya

I picked up a Canon M50 a couple of months ago and just started to research lens. Thats how I found this video and have subscribed. I'm just starting to learn how to take good photos and video. For photos, I think I'm going to order the Kamlan 50mm f1.1 based on your recommendation. Hard to beat the $160.00 price I found on Amazon. Thank you for the info and I'll definitely be checking out more!!!

EXCELLENT review thank you so much!
Great pics and insight! Much appreciated!!!
Thank you so much for this video. It helps me to see what is available for my new m50! I am very new to photography, and just want to take great photos of my travels and nature shots. Would it be better to get the EF-M 22 mm or pick up a EF 50mm and buy the adaptor? They come out to around the same price if you shop around.
Subscribed. Great video and served to become familiar with some brands unknown to me.

Which lens do you think would work best for filming mobile device screens? I do tech tutorials and want to step up to doing actual demos and not just screen recording. Not getting a sharp image with the kit lens or the 22. Oh, using an M50.
I have a canon t7i and have been debating on getting like a m6 or m50. I'm so glad you uploaded this because I have never really looked into ef m stuff. Only L series glass. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic overview of the lenses! Thanks man
Thank you for this review, very helpful.
Markus, I only just discovered your channel this weekend. Love your content but even more I appreciate your joy & enthusiasm! You make me smile and feel happy describing & comparing gear performance. "Which lenses give you...the most pleasure"--Great perspective. I subscribed. One question that wasn't answered in your vids on using the Godox AD200, etc.--when you do a quick guerrilla shooting session, what power level is your AD200 typically set to for fill lighting? Full power? Thanks for the great information and sharing your experience!
@MarkusPix

Hi Will. The power setting varies depending on the situtation
Besides the kit lens, I own the Sigma 16mm & 56mm and the Canon 32mm by now. They are all amazing! I sometimes still am unhappy about having committed to the EF-M system, but it keeps my from buying overpriced stuff.

Do you just buy all the ef-m lens or you buy adapter to use other lens that are more expensive?
Great information video, Markus!! Thank you.
Hey Markus, I have the M50, it's my first lens changeable camera (have mostly owned Casio P&S's) , I've been seeing a lot of recommendations for the Canon EF-M 11-22mm, do you have any thoughts on it? I'm looking for something to use primary for close quarters video shooting in home-made, still learning studio setup. I watched all the way to the end hoping you'd cover it. Though you did give a good overview on the EF-M 22mm which was another lens I Was considering. I also have the EF-M Adapter if you think I might need to consider a different lens altogether. I'd appreciate any thoughts you have, just sorry your vids didn't come up in my recommended a couple of weeks ago, I'm not too proud to enter the contests and generally watch to the end of videos anyway... I thought everyone knew by now that if there is a bonus, its always at the end! I've subscribed and hope to see some more good tips.👍
Just ordered the little EOS m 11-22mm zoom. Should work well on my M5. Like that your brand agnostic. Makes most of your reviews worth watching. Thanks and stay safe.
I initially bought a M100 for some vlogging/short videos, but was very surprised by the quality of the pictures, even with the kit lens. And yesterday I just discovered it had an builtin intervalometer! I got some very cool shots of a storm and lightning’thanks to it, great little camera!
Excellent demonstration, thanks!
Do you use photoshop or which edit phoeo you use? Is good idea to buy lens at Ebay?
Absolutely awesome video and very helpful.
Thank you for this video. I married Canon years ago and bought the m-50. I love watching your videos of small stuff.

Thanks for the video ! Really helps me. I was thinking I should not buy the EF M lenses because they only work on my M6. Where if I buy the EF lenses I can use on the M6 (with adapter) and other Canon cameras.
On the plus side, your loyal viewers who stay to the end get rewarded :) That's how I look at it, I'd rather have those people win something than people who just click off cause they can't concentrate longer than 20 seconds.

Just to let you know, we do indeed watching all of your video ;) thanks again for posting, and God this 50 does look incredible. I do own the 85/1.2 and I was never interested on a 50 lens, but you kind of made me to want start searching the used market for a good deal!!! cheers from uk. and stay safe, as we all say these days :)

The 50 full frame is like an 85 when its on a crop sensor which adds the the effect even more. Its a great lens, I use it quite a bit on my Samsung NX500
I watched your last video until the end but I also won a little something a few months back and thought I'd let other win. You're generous and I appreciate everything you do.
Your Vlogs are always cool and full of sunshine.....I wondered why Panasonic on micro 4/3 rather than Olympus....apparently the old EM1 mk2 has been given an update and blows most cameras out of the water for photo's and video. That nice Christmas guy Peter Gregg has just bought one......Maybe you could borrow one for review. Keep up the good work,

Hi Andy. Many reasons for Panasonic- they have the smallest ILC cameras in the world kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJ5mx8yiZNDZZaQ.html and the most professional lineup of video, camera and lenses (I do a lot of pro video work). Olympus only makes photography cameras (no dedicated video cameras) and they are too clunky for me. I know the retro look is in, which Fuji is also going with, ...but I need streamlined functionality of an entire system. I do love some of the Olympus lenses though- I love the M Zuiko 45mm 1.8 so much, I bought 3 of them. They are so small, they are perfect for travelling, they autofocus super fast, lightweight and I need tiny lightweight stuff. I have two Lumix 42.5mm f1.2 lenses and never use them- I always use the tiny Olympus 45mm. Even my Olympus 75mm is too big and heavy for my M43 taste. If I'm going to take something that heavy, I might as well use my bigger sensor Sony 6300. But I appreciate all brands and kinds of cameras, lenses, lights, audio etc. They are wonderful toys.
Love this thank you so much!! ♥️

Me too- Sony and Panasonic. I just wanted to play with the little Canon APSC they looked so cute at Best Buy. They can take great pictures, but it's nothing like the the Sony experience. I keep trying to give Canon a chance but they baffle me - taking a picture and waiting 2 seconds before I see what I just took?
I love your videos, obviously because you offer the most practical advice without being stuffy or pompous, and always in an entertaining way. I don’t, however, ever get in at the right time to try to win one of your giveaways, which is enormously generous. As optimistic as I am in life, I don’t expect I would ever win one of your giveaways, and so I don’t enter. But rest assured, I always watch to the end.

Okay, see you in the next video. I am interested in video blogging. I do like watching to the ends of most videos, but sometimes I get distracted (have to go to work) and I will leave them on pause till I get back. A lot of times my computer will restart from updates and I won't remember where I was. Great review of these lenses, but I generally stick to my full frame canons and have told myself that I don't need to buy anymore lenses or cameras. (will see how long I can go) Thanks for posting and your model is lovely!
