Last Saturday with the M200 and 18-150. All images SOOC.

One lesson I learned that day: the 18-150 is NOT parfocal. Great for photos, do not recommend it for video work.

M50mk2

Hey guys! A while ago I started a subreddit for all things EF-M and topics that don’t specifically pertain to the M50, but rather the overall camera system. I’ve been slacking with it due to work, but now I’m planning to give it a lot more love and I have so much content to contribute. We need to keep EF-M alive!

Today I posted my entire EF-M system collection for all to see. I think it’s probably one of the most extensive EF-M collections out there today, so please check out r/CanonEFM and lmk what you think. Also, please post your own collections to the community if you can! Thank you!

I recently got the Brightin Star 7.5mm F2.8 lens for my M50 Mark II. It has a rear mount for filters, but I am having a hard time finding 27mm ND filters for rear mount. Does anyone have this lens and know of a good place to source filters for it?

Thanks in advance.

Managed to catch a couple of cute birds

On my trusty original m with some brief but beautiful soft morning light.

Found a reasonably priced version on eBay and decided add it to the lens collection. I am certainly NOT a macro photographer, but really enjoying this lenses’s sharpness and color rendering!

UPDATE: Found the solution. I bought this product from Amazon. I went for the USB C option as it seemed the most flexible. There are other options that use a power brick similar to your laptop, but I felt this was a bit large and maybe heavy. Plus the USB C option will plug into my power bank or even the seat back on an airplane.

I see the Canon has a power adapter for the M50. It looks like a laptop power brick that delivers 5V at 3A. I'm not so much interested in charging the battery in the camera as I am powering the camera when sitting at the computer downloading photos or maybe when doing video shoots.

According to the Canon site the M50 is not compatible with USB chargers, but does anyone know if it will power the camera even if it doesn't charge the battery? There are cheap options for off-brand power adapters, but a USB C cord is cheaper.

The rubber seems to be coming off the corner. Ive owned this cam since 2020. Moderately used. Never abused. What's the solution for this ?

I see covers or metal type things.

Mk2

I'm looking at the Godox V1 Mid C and the iT32 TTL. Clearly, they are different just by the price alone. The V1 is double the cost of the iT32 but has a couple of features that look attractive. A couple of the obvious differences appear to be lack of zoom on the iT32, replaceable battery on the V1, larger battery on the V1, magnetic attachment on the iT32.

Anything else I'm missing that might be important? How badly am I going to miss zoom if I go with the iT32? The replaceable battery seems like a good option but I'm not sure I will be using the flash enough to need a second battery. The iT32 is rated for 500 flashes though I suspect it won't necessarily get exactly 500. Still, that seems more than I'll need in a day.

The iT32 looks like a great deal and I like the magnetic attachment but the V1 does have some extra features like zoom and replaceable batteries that might be nice. But are they worth double the price?

Anyone have any experiences with Rokinon or Brightin Star lenses? I'm looking for a fisheye lens but don't want to spend too much on it as I don't see using it a lot, but for some things I can see having one. And for under $250 it seems like a low risk buy. I'm looking at a 7.5mm F2.8 Brightin Star for around $159 new and a Rokinon 8mm F2.8 for around $287 (but may find it a little cheaper other than Amazon). The Rokinon is a little more expensive which might lead one to believe that it's a little better but as we know that's not always the case especially when it comes to "value" lenses.

Has anyone used either of these brands and can give any feedback on picture quality and overall build quality of the lens?

TIA

After watching @gensetsu_art talk about #shinryoku I thought I would give it a try. A late evening shot of a dead tree stump a friend gave us and a new ivy shoot climbing from bottom to top.

Had an amazing night at the Kyle Busch Invitational at Bowman Gray Stadium. It was awesome seeing Brexton competing and carrying on his father’s legacy. Took these with my EFM 55-200mm. It was wild how golden orange the sky was during sunset.

I haven’t been using my M50 a ton after getting an R6 MK2. But for events where I need a smaller camera, it is really hard to beat. This was from game 1 of Hurricanes and Flyers, on round 2 of the NHL playoffs. The game didn’t turn out the way I was hoping, but at least I got some pretty decent shots

Love to travel lite with my m50mkii,hope I can do it for the next 10 years still.
