Canon EOS M50 (aka Canon EOS Kiss M) - a very popular camera both here and in Japan. This is a compact camera with an APS-C sensor that allows you to shoot in various conditions. This article will discuss the choice of optics for this tiny carcass.
One of the advantages of Canon cameras is the widest choice of optics at very affordable prices.
Cameras Canon M50, M6 Mark II, M100, M200 and others from the M series have an EF-M mount. This mount is designed to work with mirrorless crop optics. For other lenses you will need adapters.
The "native" lenses for these cameras will be the following models:
- Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM
Wide-angle lens for landscape/interior photography. In low light you need tripod.
- Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM
Compact full-time (whale) lens. Suitable for a wide range of tasks. In low light, again, a tripod will be required.
- Canon EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM
Whale lens, similar to the previous one. But a little less wide (18mm versus 15mm) and a little closer (55mm versus 45mm). I would settle for 15-45mm, plus it's more compact.
- Canon EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM
Universal super zoom. Very close/far away. Traveling will be an interesting option. Please note that this is one of the "dark" lenses with low aperture. Will work well in bright sunny weather. Practically unsuitable for evening shooting.
- Canon EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM
Compact TV. With such a lens, you can shoot birds, bring distant objects closer. Also dark.
- Canon EF-M 22mm f / 2 STM
Super-compact high-aperture standard prime lens. With this lens, you can shoot handheld even in the evening. Aperture f2 is very good. But there is no zoom, that's how physics works.
- Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM
Macro lens with built-in illumination. With it, it will be possible to take interesting shots in very close-up.
- Canon EF-M 32MM F/1.4 STM
Standard Super Fast fixed lens. Almost analogue 50mm f1.8 at full frame. With f1.4, you can shoot in almost any light. 32mm f1.4 will allow you to shoot half-length portraits with some background blur.
I also recommend Hoya protective filters for your optics: http://alii.pub/6380xs
It is worth saying that all these lenses are optically very worthy. The choice depends on the nature of the use.
But keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list of lenses that can be used on Canon M cameras.
You can also purchase any of Viltrox lenses (available for various mounts, including Canon EF-M). Or adapt Canon EF SLR lenses via simple adapter or speedbooster. At the same time, all functionality and autofocus will be preserved.
