So true. I bought the 22mm, the 18-150 mm and the one I use 90% of the time is the 15-45 kit. You nailed it.

Hi, so you think i should get the camera with the kit lens? From what i can see it seems to be pretty darn good. But i'm wondering if i'm better off buying some cheap lens like the 7artisan 35mm f1.2 cuz i already have tamron 17-55mm f2.8 (which, doesn't have image stabilization hence my dilemma). So i'm wondering whether that image stabilization is worth sacrificing. the low light capabilities of an f1.2 lens. Or i'm even wondering if i should sell my tamron and get both the kit and the 7artisan. In which, i would be sacrificing that constant f2.8 of the tamron for the image stabilization in the kit lens and the low light capabilities of the 7artisan. Also, i already have a 50mm f1.8 which is great in lowlight, but on an apsc camera it's just too zoomed in for most situations (it's great for portraits tho so i'm not selling it). So what do you think? Is the kit lens that comes with the m50 worth considering?
@BillEricPhotography
@BillEricPhotography 4 года назад
It's worth considering because of its size. It's also a native Mount so you don't have to worry about adapting it to the M50 like you do with the tamron. I have the time run also and even though it's 2.8 I never use it. The focus motor on it is loud and it's actually slow to focus where the kit lens is fast focusing and silent. I'm not sure about the 7artisans lens I don't know that lens. but it's always good to have a wide aperture lens in your bag. For me that lens has been the 22 mmf2. so to answer your question I think the kid lens is a good lens to own with an M50 because it keeps everything small and very useful. If you ever want to do any video with the M50 it's a good lens to have also.
@stelladevania3607
@stelladevania3607 4 года назад
@@BillEricPhotography hmm i guess i'll buy the kit and keep my tamron for awhile to see which one i need more. The 7artisan is a $100 manual lens with a very unique character to it. It doesn't have AF nor IS so if i buy it it'd strictly be for those "ohh i wanna take a picture of this" moment when hanging out at night. Anyway thanks for the quick reply! Really appreciate it!

hey guys, if the only lens i have for my canon m6 mkii is the sigma 30mm, should i buy this Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 mentioned in the video or maybe the Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 STM? i was thinking i need at least one lens with image stabilization for when taking video. the pancake does not have IS and neither do any of the sigmas. the 30 is great for photos but not if i wanna do any video (without a tripod) at all

I just rediscovered the joy of this lens on a long, steep hike with friends last weekend. I think they were all glad it was so light to hand off when I was scrambling over the rocks! Others have mentioned it already but don't sleep on that 18-150 as the ultimate travel lens. It's not as pocketable as our little friend, but still very small for a HUGE range. I think it's the kit lens in some countries for like the m5 or m6? I picked it up used at the same time I bought my m50 (kit included the 15-45 & EF adapter). I love being able to get landscapes, action shots, and tight details with just a quick twist, and it's still very easy to pack when you're Just On Vacation. I've also had a lot of fun adapting the Tamron 70-300 for super-deep telephoto (living that 1.6x crop life) and my gf's 40mm pancake (not so pancake on the adapter but oh well) for street photos. Anyway, really appreciate all the m50 love on this channel!

Love the lens. I have an EF 50mm f/1.8 lens and an Efm 11-22mm lens but I use the kit lens 90% of the time. Works really well. Has image stabilisation. Auto focus is really fast. Focal range is really versatile. Weighs almost nothing. It seems like its one of the better modern day kit lenses. Canon did a good job with it.

I bought the EOS-M3 as a kit witch shipped with their 18-55 lens. At the same time, I ordered the 22 mm F2; It was on sale for $149.00 and I knew I would want a fast lens after getting bored with the kit. The 18-55 was rather large so my M3 pretty much lived with the sweet little pancake 22 mm on it and I gave up the versatility of having a zoom lens with me at all times. Then I found the 15-45 Kit lens on sale for $99.00 and I couldn't resist it's compact size. It makes a sweet little package and it's the lens that lives on my M3 now. Great job on the video and that picture of the USS Cassin was amazing.

sound advice. i was expecting bad results from the 15-45 after reading all the review. But in reality its very good, both for photos and video. Love the compact size and having the m6ii to the uncropped 4k is also very good. 22mm is probably on my list, the 11-22 ?? maybe for vlogging but its very fast. And maybe the 18-150 or 55-200 to cover myself for travel when i dont want my full frame to come along. But as you said , the 15-45 is a lens that will do it all to to great standard.
@BillEricPhotography
@BillEricPhotography 4 года назад

@gypsy00
@gypsy00 5 лет назад
I bought my m50 with the 15-45mm kit lens and used it on my vacation in Perth, Australia. I got great sharp images with the kit lens in good daylight conditions. Even in low light it can still get good images. Just don't use the kit-lens during nighttime. This is just my opinion on the lens when traveling. I don't really need high aperture lenses when shooting group photos or landscape since I don't really need the bokeh on this kind of shots. Most of the time, I'll be shooting during daytime.That's why the Kit lens with its f3.5-5.6 works. But if you need more light on low light conditions, the 22mm will do the job.

Thank you for this! I have to agree. I had the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 and a Tamron 18-270 that I sometimes use on the M50, but I was had those from my Rebel t6i. The M50 definitely works better with the native lenses and the 15-45 is a little powerhouse lens that is on my camera almost all the time now. I love that I don't have to lug my huge backpack into the parks all the time anymore, I can just grab the M50 with both my lenses (the 15-45 and the 11-22), fit them in my mini-backpack and go.

Wow seriously, thanks for the video! I never appreciated how small and lightweight my camera is (with the kit lens) and always wanted to go with speedboosters and fast EF primes (even recently I was thinking of getting 40mm f/2.8) instead of considering the native lenses. Now I’m fully certain, these small camera shines the best with their respective small lenses 👍🏻

Just wanted to say that I just discovered your channel a few days ago, and I´ve already watched a ton of your videos. Mainly on the M50, which I just got a few weeks ago together with the 15-45mm lens for the price of what the camera itself would cost. And it was Brand new. I got a super deal. i mainly bought it, because I want to build up my RU-vid channel with personal tutorial videos, and not just videos of my live concerts with my bands that I´ve posted up until now. I spent at least 2 x months researching what camera to get, and 90% of the top RU-vid tech people recommended the M50. i´m a beginner as far as cameras, and lenses go, so I think I will work with the 15-45 mm kit lens for a while, and eventually buy the 22mm. Thanks for your very understandable videos. I´ve learned quite a bit in a very short time.

I started with the M line getting the original w/ 18-55, ef adapter, and flash for $218 on ebay fall 2016, got the M2 w/ 22mm around Christmas 2016 for ~$400. Then upgraded to the M5 the first spring after it came out. I have the whole M lens lineup with the exception of the 55-200. I have since sold the original M and 18-55 for the same price I bough it and kept the adapter and flash :) I just love the M line, so fun, so easy to use and I haven't ever been disappointed! When I want to go out with a "pocket camera" I take the M2and 22mm otherwise I usually have the M5 32mm attached and 18-150 in my bag for reach. Since getting the 32 it pretty much lives on my M5, such a great lens! I really appreciate your photography based reviews on the M line, so many only focus on the video!
@BillEricPhotography
@BillEricPhotography 5 лет назад
I'm glad you like the video, the M line is definitely underrated for photography. We are photographers and only do video to make these tutorials so we bought the m50 for video. It has definitely turned out to be a very capable camera for photography and I wish I would have invested in more of the native lenses to start with. I think the 32 mm 1.4 is the one I'm going to go for next. Everyone seems to love it!

I used to use my 70-200 f4 L IS on the M5 but decided to pick up the EF-M 55-200, I'm losing 1.5 stops but the size difference is unreal. I've also since added the 22 and 32.

I’ve had my canon m50 for a couple years now. At the time there was a deal where I could add on the 55-200 for a ridiculous low price so it was a no brainer to tack that on with the camera kit. Somewhere shortly after that I did add on the 22mm f2 lens mainly for the greater f stop range. Since most of my photography is landscape this my go to lens. Further down the road I did buy the 50mm with the adapter but it’s probably the one I could have left on the shelf in the store. I have thoroughly loved this camera and have had a ton of fun with it. Thanks for your videos, I have really enjoyed them and plan on watching the others you have on the m50.

This is my experience. The M50 Is now my "in pocket" camera for street and documenting my trips. Like you said the 22mm is perfect fpr video and low light and the 15-45mm is a brilliant lens to. I have the 200mm and the 18-55 plus the Sigma 30mm 1.4 but am finding the 22mm and 15-45 are my goto for the M50. I leave the EF and EF-S lenses for my 800D DSLR for planned landscapes/ wildlife work where a solid tripod and the added weight fills me with confidence, justified or not. Best of both worlds I think

I wished that I seen this video a while ago, I think you are making a valid point in this video. I have 3 non-native lenses + kit and the EFM 11-22mm. Lately I have really started to enjoy using the 11-22. It takes really nice and sharp nature/landscape photos and it is so light to carry. I enjoy the non-native lenses as well but they do get clunky and does not really feel good on the M50´s small body. Alltough I think that the EF-M 55-250mm is not telephoto enough for many things, I like a bit more reach to be honest, and the macro lens is not really great when it comes to photograph moving insects. But for landscape, portraits, street and general photography - the native lenses are good enough for the M50. Thank you for a great video!

This lens is very under rated. I am only using it recently on a photoshoot. I have both the Canon M100 and M6 Mk2. The other M lenses I have are the EF-M11-22mm, 22mm, 32mm, the Sigma 56mm f/1.4, the TtArtisan 17mm, 23mm, 35mm and the 50mm (all f/1.4 manual lenses). I like manual lenses due to its old school ease of use especially in low light. Overall, my Canon M system works perfectly and I don't understand why some people are complaining about it as inadequate. By the way, I also use Micro4/3 and also a Canon Full Frame DSLR. The Canon M is an excellent travel and street photography camera.

Thanks for a great video, it helped me make the decision (after much deliberation) to opt for the eos M6 MkII along with the kit lens and the 22mm and more than likely the 55 - 200mm to follow. This package should meet all my requirements. Thanks again for the honest and informative review.

The deal I got for my m50 was you could add the canon adapter for like 15 bucks more (it usually is like $180 I think) so since I was already getting the adapter I added a canon EF-S 24mm 2.4 pancake for another 100 bucks. I am totally a noob but I was blown away at the quality of pictures I got with the ef-s 24mm, the bokeh with Christmas lights was so beautiful. I later ordered the canon ef-m 55-200mm for taking pictures of the moon and it was quite a treat being able to take a picture of the moon with no tripod and be able to count all of the little craters, totally blew my mind. The next lens I want to get is a 300mm or 400mm prime lens so I can really get in close on the moon and maybe even take pictures of stars. I admit I haven't really used the kit lens but I also haven't used the camera much in general just because I am working a lot right now and it's dark when I go to work and dark when I get home. I think when I finally go on vacation again I will probably just pack the 15-45 kit lens and the ef-m 55-200mm and call it good. I do want to have a few nice prime lenses at home for portraits and whatnot so I am probably going to get a few fancy lenses that I don't care about size and weight since they will be home lenses. Anyways apologies for rambling, I really enjoyed all of your canon m50 videos and found it interesting how in the earlier videos you kept mentioning how great it was with more expensive glass and now you've shifted to the practicality and convenience of the native mount lenses. If you do sell all that other glass, maybe consider giving the ef-m 55-200 a chance, I'd love to see what you could do with it.

My thoughts are; if your priority is to make runaways with the smallest lens that will not interfere with your daily walk, you will learn to take good photos with it. But each lens equipment has its limitations. You can't achieve everything with just two lenses or even three. Every lens, be it 100 focal length, wide-angle, zoom or super zoom, is designed with a specific purpose in mind and there is no universal lens that will take a good photo in all conditions. Every photographer or filmmaker has a natural need to develop and change, know after some time you will change your mind again and again. You will learn new ways, you will learn new things, it's natural that you change your mind and lenses, not to mention photographic systems, etc. Know generalization that a fixed or zoom is better because it's small doesn't make sense to you and in the right conditions it suits you but the other person who perceives differently has a different sensitivity different sight other interests other priorities will not work your mind. Such a small conclusion, let's not generalize. Personally, I don't consider the 15-45mm 3.5-6.3 IS STM. for a good lens for everything it is very average but you can take quite nice photos in bright light because after dark it is useless. The zoom knob is very weak there. I'd rather have 4 lenses and a heavy backpack when hiking than this small and shallow lens. I prefer to make more stops to rest, think deeper and think about some scenery. Than to run around and click hundreds of pointless photos and have everything in the pictures and nothing fantastic and beautiful at all. I prefer to have 2-3 breathtaking photos that I like to come back to and brag about to everyone and be proud of them. I consider the 15-45 to be an average lens and it's just the beginning of the adventure. Which gets bored very quickly and cannot be developed, so I gladly got rid of it in favor of fixed-focal lenses. By the way, I have lost weight and am in good shape, and I am proud of my photo library. I don't know how you decorated these photos such good photos with this lens but you surprised me for sure you are a more experienced photographer I'm just starting and learning :). You should make a guide on how to take good 15-45mm photos. I guess you mistook them for 22mm f2 because this one is perfect and ridiculously small Canon m50 I take in my pocket sweatshirts and even for shopping and for a beer when I go or walking the dog almost everywhere is great because bright and easy it takes great photos by itself. 15-45mm is too hard for me and still weak. Is the secret of this 15-45mm lens to use a tripod as low as possible ISO and longer exposure times? Greetings from Wrocław :)

I purchased two M50's about a year ago and used the kit lenses exclusively for several months. I eventually added the 22mm and then the 32mm into the mix. These are the main two lenses that stay on my cameras now. I notice a significant lack of sharpness in the kit lens compared to both of these lenses. So much so, that I rarely ever use the kit lenses anymore unless I'm doing a dolly zoom shot. I almost bought the 11-22mm but whenever I see videos where this lens is being used it appears to have the same lack of sharpness (in video) that I notice in the 15 -45 kit. I recently picked up the sigma 16mm 1.4 efm for wide stuff and it is nice. Fast and sharp (and hasn't come off the camera yet) but it is a bit heavy (14.5 oz) when compared to the native lenses. I guess I've been spoiled by the primes :)
@BillEricPhotography
@BillEricPhotography 5 лет назад
Prime lenses will always give you a little bit of a sharper image. But I have shot some New York City skyline images with this lens it really did well as far as sharpness. But I agree once you get used to the sharpness of a prime it's tough to go back to a kit lens.

Ha... Probably would have been helpful a year and a half ago. I'm an engineer so naturally I researched everything to death. The common complaint about the kit lens is the softness at the edges on most copies with a few really good copies (which you may have). With that said... I barely gave it a chance before buying the 22mm, the 11-22mm, and now the 32mm. I used the 11-22 most initially and now switch out depending on the situation. Really loving the 32mm 1.4! The kit lens hasn't been on the camera in months which honestly hasn't been given a fair chance. I may just need to dust it off and give it a try.

I have an R5 and after seeing my gf's m50 mark ii, and it's compact setup, I went and bought one myself. Light lens (thinking of the 15-45 lens) is good, but I wanted a lighter body to compensate for the heavier lenses I'm speed boosting onto it (I don't like giving up much light or depth of field, especially since I got an R5). Can say I get a near full frame image (87% vs 40% of APS-C) and barely losing any light (same multiplier). I'm talking L glass and some Sigma 'ART' glass. Weight a problem? Nah, it's lighter than the R5, looks inconspicuous, and I just sling the setup across my shoulder. Really wanted to contrast my R5 45mp "hyper realistic" look with a wonderous 24mp look on the cheap.

The kit lens is a good all-around lens. You're not going to get shallow depth of field out of it but you will get sharp images. The 22 mm is a good lens to actually learn about depth of field and aperture. That would definitely be the next lens I recommend. it's a very easy camera to use and there are so many videos and tutorials on the different functions that I think you will be fine.

I think every photographer wants to get a bunch of lenses right away. You may still want to get some new ones but shooting for a little while will let you know what you need.

True, I used the 15-45 which is way better than I expected (EOS M3). Got the 22 as well. Then I got the 11-22 :-) That one is truly a must for landscape photographers or like me, airshow photographers :-) I can get in close and get the full shot. Also got the 18-150 and the Macro 28mm. Cause next to my airshow kit (Canon 80D) I love this smaller set. With the 22mm it fits in my pocket, gives me really nice and sharp images....wow....

That’s a nice setup you have! And yes the portability of the camera with the 22mm is really great.

I have vilrtox adaptor + 50mm (in studio + outdoor portrait's) and the 15-45mm kit lens. I prefer kit lens for outdoor and mostly landscape photography. Nice tip there. Yes the kit lens is a life saver.

Thanks! I was guilty of thinking it wasn't going to be good also at the beginning but I've come to really like this little lens!

My kit lens was the 18-150 which I like a lot. After that I got the 11-22, 70-300 (adapted EF), 22, 32, 56 (Sigma DC DN) and 28 MACRO.

@@BillEricPhotography thanks. It has one weekness, night shots on the telephoto end without flash. I am evaluating the possibility of getting a 24-105 f/4L for that.

I agree- this is a great lens- for what I do, mostly skyscapes, so lots of light and not a problem stopped down. I just purchased the 22mm too, for low light and street stuff. I still use a Canon 760d dslr, and I have the Meike adaptor for my EF lenses- works perfectly at 1/4 of the price. The main thing for me is portability and quality- still using an M3.

I just ordered a couple of Maura and mount lenses the 11 to 16 and the sigma 56 mm 1.4. I really enjoy the small size in the portability of this system. It doesn't give me everything I like about my DSLR but when I'm traveling it's perfect. The 22 is a little beast of a lens!

@@BillEricPhotography I'm looking forward to using the 22mm a lot more- all about portablility- yes i miss the mirror in the dslrs- but I like the ideas of needing a bit of work to get the best. Was also looking at reviews of the EF M 32mm, but it's more than 2x the price. That will do for now x

I bought the M50 over a year ago. I never like the kit lens. It was OK for video but I found it lacked dynamic range for photography. It picked up the 22 mm lens and the 55--250 APC USM lens. Then I added the 32mm lens. I have subsequently tried to use the kit 15-45 a number of rimes. it just does not seem sharp to me. I also picked up an EOSR with the holy trinity using Tamron lens and the Canon 4L for the 16-35. .I use the m50 as the camera I carry in my backpack every day. The 22mm lens is always on the camera. When I go to the park I use the 55-250 which is a relatively small zoom.

That's pretty much how I have been using the M50 as a second camera that's very portable. I still use my Nikon for most of my photography. maybe you have a bad copy of the kit lens because I have had no sharp as issues with mine.

I have the kit lens 15-45 and am looking to buy another lens. I make music videos, landscape and portrait photography along with other videos. I was wondering what would be a good next purchase. I see a lot of people are raving over the 22, and 55-150. Which would be a great next purchase ? I’d like to get into moon photography one day too. Should I get the 55-150 next ?
@BillEricPhotography
@BillEricPhotography 4 года назад
I would highly recommend the 22mm, being able to shoot at a very wide aperture will open up new possibilities and creativity.
