Trying The 22mm f2 With The Canon M50 (yes it's that good)

[@HooksHollands]

I shot an entire indoor video on the 11-22mm with M50, and it looked crisp on the camera, but once on the PC, there was so much noise! I had to re-shoot it all with the 22mm...the extra light made all the difference.

[@SarahhhBeth]

I love the 11-22mm but I struggle with the noise too! If it isn’t super bright you can forget the crisp footage

[@heck7386]

Just found your channel and it is very refreshing to watch for someone who owns a Canon M50

[@friendofsmolt]

The M50 and 22mm is such a great combo to take on travel trips.

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

Definitely. Or just out and about taking pics of the family.

[@ScottsPC]

Bought my M50 about a month ago. Love it. Learning curve for me....great channel and thanks for all your knowledge!!

[@village_mayor]

Scotts PC you’ll love the camera. Nifty and you can improve your photography as you go along. A few professionals use the m50 too

[@Jon-Chan]

I have the 22mm and it is a fantastic lens, pin sharp and great colour rendering. Definitely notice the difference between it and the kit lens.

[@RealCopsReelLife]

Got the M50 about 4 months ago... 2 months ago, the 22mm LOVE it. Next... Sigma

[@village_mayor]

I use the 22mm pancake 98% of the time. I take food and urban photography and its perfect for both disciplines.

[@Drostvideo]

I'm glad you did a review of this lens since It was included when I bought my camera. I now use it (instead of the kit lens) for all my talking head videos because it does a better job of blurring the background. I like your reference to this lens being a "friend" lens. I also use it for portrait photos

[@ashmeesh]

I'm about a month and a half into owning my m50 and I'm in love with it. Going to invest in the 22mm. Thank you for such a clear and detailed explanation of this!

[@nateweller5104]

I would highly recommend this lens. I basically use it for all my talking head studio shots. Auto-focus on this works great and shallow depth of field is good even in a small room. I was hoping that you would have done some low-light testing of this lens. For future videos I am interested in comparing this to the Sigma 16mm and seeing if the image quality is any better.

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

I am trying to get that lens. When I do I plan to do a bunch of videos on it.

Second that

[@dillonjohnson7833]

Bro I felt that fall. Good save on the camera. I only skate and vlog when I’m trying to get a rolling shot haha.

[@KeithMerrow]

I'm relatively new to the M50 and your videos have given me quite a few tips, thanks for your hard work. I use 4 of these cameras in my studio, as well as a C100, and they're great. I picked up the 22mm f2 and its my main "talking ahead" lens now. Cheers!

[@LoktionBanger]

hy, can the 22mm be used for real estate video (where shot wide(ness) is the priority) and can it be used in low light?

[@ofacekillah]

It was the first EF-M lens I've owned. After spending $1000 on other lenses I enjoy, I still use it 80% of the time.

[@elle_na619]

Just bought a secondhand m50+22mm lens for $400, this going to be my very 1st camera after just been using iphone camera my whole life, and I wanted to step up my game a lil bit and grow my KZbin channel, it seems like I did not make the wrong choice with this camera+lens combination. Can’t wait for mine arrive

[@dwsvlogs97]

The 22mm would've been nice if it had image stabilization.

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

Oh yeah.

[@killsplaque]

Hell ya!

[@RADERFPV]

True, but then it would be quite a bit larger I think, right?

[@dwsvlogs97]

@@RADERFPV The kit lens is small yet it comes with image stabilization

[@RADERFPV]

@@dwsvlogs97 It is small, it's still the main lens I use. But the 22mm is significantly smaller it seems. Been researching it a bit more, and it sounds like the 22mm does pretty well with the M50's internal digital IS. Considering how inexpensive it is, and that it's a native prime lens, I'm definitely going to pick one up soon.

[@theaverageguy3884]

Im a DJ and planing to use this for filming my DJ sets. Will this be a good option ?

[@TheWinkingPigBarBQ]

I love my 22 mm lens for indoor shots. The f2 makes it so much easier to work with indoors than the kit lens. Of course, I've used the kit lens indoors but the extra light of the f2 makes it so much easier and is a good compromise between the 15 and 45 mm extreme ranges of the kit lens too. If only the 11-22 mm wide-angle lens were an f2, now that would be a serious walk and talk vlogging lens. It's still pretty good as is but the extra light would be a huge help. Great video.

[@Captain-Cosmo]

If you want a brighter zoom, consider a speed booster and a full-frame lens just for indoor stuff. A 0.71x adapter will "open up" an f4 lens to f2.8, an f2.8 to f2, and an f1.8 to f1.2. Meanwhile, the focal range performs very closely to original as if it were on a full-frame camera. For example, a 16-35 f2.8 L offers a FF field of view of 18-40, a 24-105 becomes 27-120, and a 70-200 becomes 80-228.

[@leonarddai4998]

Its true when you said shallow depth of field makes less blown out

[@luckduck5031]

You wiping out was very satisfying

[@circuslife888]

Great suggestion regarding the ND filter size. Thanks! You've got a new subscriber!

[@allenroy1638]

I have the 22mm lens, bought it after you suggested it thanks, and I use it alot. Very good lens thats super small and light and works pretty good in low light. Thanks again for the recommendation!

Bro, I am a vlogger from India. I really appreciate your video making skills and dedication.. You deserve a million suscribers..

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

[@DMKahn]

Did you ever try the sigma 1.4? I got mine and love it. Sure it’s larger than the pancake but it’s that much faster!

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

I haven’t yet but I am trying to get one.

[@killsplaque]

@@TheCrowleyCrew $$$ right? LOL same here.

[@AlbiDoo]

sigma 16mm 1.4 is my new favorite lens!

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

Yep $$$

[@bozmundarts2614]

Loving the narrative to be honest :3

[@kbcvisuals]

Great advice on the step up ring. I was literally in the market for ND filters so this was perfect. Great video btw as usual.

[@Captain-Cosmo]

I use an M50II alongside a 5DIV and 90D. It does my gimbal work... and more! I've enjoyed the EFS 24 pancake lens (with adapter), but I've love to replace it with the 22 in order to fully benefit from the amazingly small size. The focal range and IQ are not appreciably different; here, it's all about ergonomics, and for that I love the M series.

[@thechariotvii9259]

Very nice image. I really want this one for photos.

[@LouisLuzuka]

Love this lens, notifications gang checking in

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

Dope! notification gang is the best!

[@AnandaGarden]

The studio shot was wonderful - wow, it does indeed look friendly and human - what is that? Is it a nice color gradation quality of the 22mm lens? On another topic, I would love to see a comparison of the 22mm with the Canon 35mm F/2 IS USM with Viltrox Speed Booster on the M50, shooting at (effective) F/1.4. What would that look like?

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

I had the color balance set to shade or cloudy but my light was a 5500k light. Other than that it is normal settings. That slight compression though makes a huge difference. I would like to try that one, but I doubt I’ll get the chance.

[@Realletsplaygrey]

Really love this lens, I bought it pretty recently and have not regretted it what so ever.

[@keima1110]

My favorite EF-M lens. I got it with the original EOS M. Never really use it, since the AF is too slow on EOS M. After I got my M50, I am using it with my M50 most of the time.

[@Walterconv]

Is the autofocus of this lens noisy for video? Do you think it's a good combo for indoors filmmaking? Does the lens have manual focus?

[@johnpatricklim4509]

just got my 22mm now...excited to try it on my new m50.....

[@shwetangvichare3653]

I really want to buy this one for b roll stuff,but If I switch to R system in future,this lens would be useless.what would you suggest?

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

For me it would depend on how long you’re going to keep it. If you’re going to upgrade next month then I probably wouldn’t, if you’re going to be waiting for 6 months or so I would.

[@LaLidoLoca]

I have watched tons of your videos. Just wanted to drop a note and say I appreciate what you do. I've been shooting with the m50 for a couple years and it's nice to see the m50 stuff you do. - Tony

[@zachlucas]

What is the song called that you use in the background of the video?

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

Thanks for your review on this lens... I am already planning for this lens upgrade... My only worry is about IS if i take videos when i walk with this lens

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

It can be a problem, but that shot of Cody taking about the sigma 40mm was handheld walking backwards with the 22mm.

Please let me know if u had that issue with this lens. It's really annoying and i couldn't find any slution in google..

Did you film the studio shot with the M50? For some reason there seems to be a weird green cast to your skin on your face. Maybe it was the lighting? Made me think of early Sony colors.

is the Canon M50 footage edited?

[@johnherzel718]

This lens is always on my M50. Except for video. Then I use the kit lens. Canon needs a few primes with IS for the M mount. I would also love a 12-30 f4 zoom for this system (with IS of course) that would be such a nice range to have. And maybe a 50-150 f4 with IS as well. I can alway dream😱

[@Gazza123D]

I love the 22mm such a great lens, I got it after speaking to the Canon Live Chat and I do not regret it.

Job, Right now I predominantly use the Canon 24mm F 1.8 (EF-S) with a Commlite EF to EF-M adapter for live streaming, etc. Do you think my audience would notice the subtle change in FOV? For me, it would be nice if I could get the camera a little closer to me, but not $300 CAD, unless my audience would get a better experience, you know? Also, Curtis Judd was kind enough to take a look at my setup in his live stream today (kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6K4nXWEoNFqqZo) and a couple of folks, including Curtis, recommended I bump up the saturation. I use your neutral colour profile right now. Can you recommend a tweak that will help? Thanks! Rob
