Great Video, I have the M50 with kit lens, 11 -22mm and the pancake lens. I'm not sure the Sigma is wide enough for my needs although the F1.4 is appealing but at the same time the pancake offer F2 which still gives a good shallow depth of field.

[@petercruz1993]

Quick EOS M lens guide: 15-45mm: great lens for most situations 11-22mm : if you enjoy landscape photography and vlogging 50mm + adapter: portraits and b-roll 50-200mm: for wildlife and portraits

[@JayEMGetsFit]

Peter Cruz does the 11-22 need a adapter? Or will it just fit right onto the body???

[@DriveByReviews]

@@JayEMGetsFit 11-22 is EF-M and will fit on the M50 EF-M mount without an adapter.

[@PassiveIncomeTom]

*Thanks for sharing these different options!* 👍

[@UniqueAdventurez]

Just upgraded to the M50 just recently to level up our channel. Thinking about the 11-22, but that sigma is sooo clean !!!

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Since we are avoiding to get out too much, I started to take the time to learn photography more with Skillshare, I have the M50 so this video is perfect for me. Thank you ❤️

[@Abdussalam-ml3so]

Yes yes!! Was waiting for this!

[@remaxgardencity]

The M50 with the Viltrox adapter (NON light/speed booster version for $55cdn on amazon) with the Canon EFS 10-22mm lens is an amazing combo. Supersharp and NOT too fishy look since with the cropped sensor it essentially turns this into a 16mm lens. Loving it, and its quite fast on the auto focus. Looking forward to checking out the speed booster version of the Viltrox adapters to see what I can do with it. With both adapters, you essentially turn one lense into two with the 1.6X conversion on the non Speedbooster version.

[@richardbernardjr9215]

glad you mention your sponsor, as I'm starting out and was looking for a music plan. Thank you!!

[@Jakesmusings]

Thanks for the great video. Really helped me make up my mind around getting the body only and investing in the special lens to round out my own vlogging kit.

I bought the Canon M50 2 weeks ago. I have only taken a few pictures. I am still figuring out how to use the camera. Will definitely invest in more lenses. Thanks Omar!!👑🐝

[@TravelManDan]

Great job Omar! Really found a lot of value in this video as I prepare for 2021- one of my goals is to get a wide 11-22mm to add to my arsenal. Excellent explanations and review and Happy Thanksgiving to you and the THINK crew!🦃👍🍺🍺

[@InnerPeaceSounds]

Awesome tutorial about the lenses. And I found a "taking head" footage with Sigma 16mm, looks perfect!

[@ViciousTech]

I am currently using the M50 mark 1 with the kit lens and plan on getting the mark2 within the next few months and probably the 3 lenses you mentioned. I mostly am just using it for streaming right now but plan on starting a vlog as well as dipping my toes into photography while I am at it.

[@MeetTheAlphonses]

I like the super-wide 11mm look for vlogging when outside, walking around, etc. But when it comes to staying in one place for like interviews or filming a documentary, I like a 35 mm prime with the lowest aperture for nice bokeh.

[@auslike4844]

Awesome informative video! thanks for sharing 👍🙏

This video was awesome, Amigo! Always appreciate the knowledge that Think Media brings to the table. You’ve set this guy at ease, and helped me decide on my next purchase with confidence. Thank you!

[@GustDeprez]

Also been doing a ton of M50 content myself. Absolutely amazing camera for the price. My favorite lens is my tokina 11-16 f2.8!

[@markw1072]

I received the Canon M50 for an early birthday present a couple of weeks ago and this camera has been amazing. I went to a camera store last week while in Vegas and the worker recommend the Sigma 16MM lens and let me just say this lens is a beast. It took amazing photos during the day and at night. Yes, the downfall would have to be the zoom but it didn't bother me at all.

[@rohanbaikar390]

Very nice vlog !! the results are superb with the new lens !!!

[@jakeportolese4031]

Love it! Going to invest into the Sigma 16, thanks!

[@danishalishow]

For those considering the sigma 16mm don’t bother, it weighs a ton and has no is, so your not running and gunning with it for 1 second. If your on a tripod it’s great but I mean if your on a tripod I don’t know why people don’t have the foresight to not declare it as “best vlogging lens”. The kit lens the m50 comes with is a better vlogging lens than the sigma due to its image stabilisation and small weight/size. The pancake lens oddly at 22mm is not going to get you anywhere either and isn’t image stabilised. The 11-22 you could probably pull off as it is image stabilised and you could put the digital stabilisation on full at 11mm to counter the crop, but I haven’t tested out the 11-22.

[@justmegslife3805]

I love this video❤️ it was really helpful thanks

[@ZanderRound]

The sigma 16mm is the only lens I use for KZbin, it’s great for photography too and sigma offer a 35mm and 56mm version of this lens. I’m getting the 56mm soon

[@OmarEltakrori]

Yea that 56 is like an 85!

[@SeanJoynt13]

I use the sigma 17-50 f2.8 with the ef adapter and love it. My favorite all-around lens by far

[@RaymundoBarrientos]

Sean Joynt what adapter and can you get it on amazon ?

[@SeanJoynt13]

Raymundo Barrientos i can’t find the same one I have anymore, but Commlite makes the same one, same style and everything, it’s the EOS M - EF mount adapter. It’s on amazon for around 50 bucks last I saw

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

When I got my M50 it came with the 15- 45mm kit lens, but I also received the 50mm f/ 1.8 and the adapter for free!

What’s up, I use the canon m50 with the kit lens. I shot videos in my little home studio but I also go out and do videos of me taking landscape & cityscape photography.

I Really love how the way you introduce this lenses in this video its really give more understanding about this lenses, the sigma is so expensive but i think this is a good match for canon m50. i will watch more of your review about canon m50. i'm planning to buy this camera soonest.

[@markw1072]

I received this camera a couple of weeks ago for an early birthday present, let me just say this camera is awesome for it's price range.

Awesome video. all 3 are super useful, the sigma is sweet

[@GgezenTozann]

Heyy. Just stopped on the question:) i have been using canon v10 camera until now. But i decided to upgrade it and also my content. I believe f2 or f4 i will buy but my question is, i do also indoor interviews. Which lens would you recommend for interviews with m50?

[@Mr.Zen_73]

I'm a huge fan of the sigma 16mm for my Canon M50, I was almost going to change systems but this new lens has breathed new life into the M50

Do you need an adaptor for the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 f

[@DrGretaGolf]

Great reminder that no matter which Canon body I’m using, the Sigma 1.6 and other glass will work, so consider it a long term investment. Thanks, Omar!!

[@JamariChin]

[@sm3dev]

Thanks for this! I just found out about the Sigma 16mm *ohsnapemoji*

[@beckii_jx]

What lens would you recommend for KZbin videos? I’m gonna be filming my face and want a lens that’ll zoom into my eye closer then the 15-45mm without me having to sit mega close to it etc 😀

[@howtomuscles8569]

The problem with these EF-M mount lenses is that I can't use them if I upgrade to EOS R (RF mount). And the EF-M mount may not be around very long so if I ever decide to sell it year down the line, it may not even sell since it's not popular.

[@AndrewDBrown2020]

Great video - really helpful - thank you. As for the lenses...I need a little guidance. We're just about to get an EOS 90D, which we will be using as our family camera. However, it's primary role (and where I need help), will be to act as a camera for Zoom, Teams and Skype presentation (and maybe a bit of head-talking streaming). Usually, I will be approx 1m-1.5m away from the camera, but I also have digital flip-chart behind me, where I raise-up the desk, stand-up and start my ramblings on the chart (this is approx 2m away from the camera). I need lenses that will ultimately let me do this without having to adjust the settings - hence the long winded message. Any pointers would be massively appreciated. Thanks again - keep up the great work.

[@iamgwendolyn3792]

Hello? I’m new to KZbin and I’m researching lenses for the canon m50 mark ll but what lens do you suggest that does it all vlog and headtalking for product reviews? Thanks for your help

Check out this adapter as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnyuZ4tmismorMU So many cool options for the M50!

[@manueditart1]

The best option is Keep the kit lens 45-45mm, Buy an adapter EFs to EF-M then go for 10-18 mm EFS STM & 55-250 mm EFS STM, Now you have almost all range of lenses .

[@prathameshmore4739]

Hey guys! Wonderful review like usually. You guys really help us at all stages of video creation. Really appreciate all the work you do. Besides being a KZbin Creator, I am also a local Pastor. Due to all of what is going on with the Coronavirus going around, many churches are having to go online now. I was wondering if a M50 with a good lense would be good to pre record our services from a distance. Looking at putting the camera in our sound booth in the back of the church. Would a good lense work well with a M50 to record our services. I hate to purchase one for the church and that would not be good to record our services. Any help would be great with that. Thanks.

[@AryanLit]

Thanks This is awesome

[@drfaizan]

Thanks for the tips bro and I'm going to signup for Epidemic right now as we speak as I'm tired of looking up music on YT music library and this platform seems epic. anyway, reason for searching videos for my need and came across this one is that I'm looking for a lens for my Canon M50 where it doesn't crop on 4k, I know this camera probably has that limitation to it but is there a solution to it? I'm looking for a lens where I can get a cool blurred background when I'm talking into the lens while walking (vlogging). I bought M50 last year but for blurred shots I've been using my IPhone 14 where I need blurred bg effect, beside GoPro and other gear I use for vlogging. I'm really appreciative of your time and guidance

[@sentry9834]

Cool video, just what I was searching for. I just purchased a Canon M50 kit. It comes with the kit lens you covered. Is this footage 2:11 shot with the kit lens? The footage with the 11×22 mm was subtitled, so I know for sure. But the 2:11 footage is implied. Subtitles throughout the video as you switched between the 2 lenses would have been very helpful. Thanks again.

[@kwvjofrimpong6558]

Thanks-you, you do talk so fast for my old ears :-) Do you vlog in 4k or 1080p? Missed that bit. I was split between buying 11mm - 18mm, or 16mm prime? On the 16mm the top of the heads were cropped and you used a gorilla pod bent towards you, yes? I have a manfroto tripod/ handle thing, short arms and large round face, not attractive for vlogging too close up, if at all :-/ .. mmm? I think I will go with the 11mm-18mm. Have you any more thoughts to selfie handles? As the gorilla pods move to much and fall over a lot. Thanks.
