Both lenses. I 've baught m50 mark 2 and chosen their as fixes that I need. I have good kit lense 15 mm 3.5f, it means 24 mm on crop. So I was choosing between ef 35 mm macro 2.8; ef 40 mm 2.8 accept these lenses. But they more expensive in huph both of them. So I decided to have three focus in mm: 24; 38; 80. I don't need zoom because m50 mark2 has noises on hire ISO and needs lenses with max f4.
The M50 MKII seems to be a popular choice for a budget camera, and of course these cheaper lenses are made for crop sensors. Sounds like you’ve got a good system going right now!
I used 50mm a few years back. I believe 50mm is majorly for portraits but with 24mm we can get a wider view. I am planning to get 24mm next week for landscape photography.
The EF-S 24/2.8 STM is 24mm, but not 24mm in 35mm ("Fullframe") terms, it does correlate to 38.4mm/F4 (Canon x1.6 APS-C Cropfactor - Nikon (DX), Sony, Pentax APS-C is like x1.52) into 35mm format, in terms of FoV, and DoF - hence Depth of field. Of course, physically F2.8 stays F2.8, all the time. Both the DoF is like a F4 prime on 35mm format, from this EF-S 24/2.8 STM APS-C lens.
I got the 50 mm as my second lens and it’s fantastic, like it’s nickname implies. I JUST bought a 24 mm to get that wider angle so I’m excited to try it out and see how it feels. Great video, subbed!
It's difficult to compare them as they do different jobs. They're both great lenses. I use them on my 90D, a camera that supposedly "punishes" cheaper lenses, but they're both great on the 90D. The 24 mm stays on my camera all the time: it's so small and light.
I don’t know if I mentioned it in the video but I use the 90D as well and I’ve got really good results with both lenses. I agree, they’re both great in different situations. I do tend toward the 24mm so I can take wider shots.
I have the 24 f/2.8 , the 50 f/1.8 mark II and the 75-300 f/4-f/5.6 telephoto lenses. I have a M6 mark II camera. I use Viltrox adapter and Viltrox speedbooster. I can take any style photo.
Getting better with my Canon T7 rebel, but it's mind bending the amount of learning. With my camera in the kit was of course the KIT lenses. Fun to play with, soon realized I needed dedicated prime lenses. When I took the first photo with the Nifty Fifty Canon lens, it was , a WOW moment. Portraits of I could count the eye lashes crisp. Taking the next jump into the Wide Angle category by purchasing a Canon 24mm 2.8 lens. Want to get more of the background along with the subject. You have made me feel better about the purchase of this lens in your comparison of the 24mm and the 50mm. Thank you. Can't wait now for it to arrive . Could use it tomorrow, taking pictures inside a 1870 one room school house of GrandDaughter. Only so far to back up to get subject and background into frame. Maybe have to do a re shoot with the 24 to compare. School House will still be there.!
Awesome! There’s definitely a noticeable difference between the kits lenses and even low budget prime lenses. I think you’ll find the 24mm to be a great lens! I would say it’s worth trying it out at the schoolhouse :)
Both are great starter lenses. You will be happy with both of them. But if you have the kit 18-55mm, do take it with you for getting those wide shots. 24mm is nice, but 18mm is much wider. And the f/3.5 can be made up for by using a tripod for those wide inside shots, or add light. Not the pop up flash, but a speed light with diffuser, and bounce it. The most fun part about photography is that you can always lean more, get better, and with the development of digital, shoot way more, with instant feed back compared to film. Bet next year you have a 24-70mm f/2.8. But My choice for your first lens after the kit lens is a 70-300mm IS lens. That opens you up to getting pictures that you can't get close enough for with a 55mm.
Maybe I missed it, but you didn't mention that the EF-S 24mm won't fit on a full-frame camera. It will work on the RF mount full-frame with the adapter but at reduced mega pixels. I have both lenses and use the 24mm more often, mostly for astrophotography.
I decided to go the DSLR route, and bought an 1100D (it came with the kit 18-55mm). I was so impressed with the image quality, I bought the 55-250mm, fantastic lens. 3 weeks later, I bought a 90D, and have since bought the 50mm, 18-135mm and most recently a 10-18mm - All kit lens, but they are great. All I want now, is the 24mm and 24-105mm, and I'll be set. Nice video.
I have a Canon 1200D, and I'm using kit lenses 18-55 and 55-250. I love astrophotography and landscape photography with my Google Pixel phone. Which one should I choose for astrophotography: the 50mm 1.8 or the 24mm 2.8?
Hey man I really appreciate this vid. I have the 50mm but I’m wanting something wider. I want more area for taking family pics in vacation and what not. I was thinking of the 10-18 canon but not sure if that’s excessive. I’m not sure if you have one, but if you had to pick one for say a day of family photos at Disney world, what would you say the better choice would be, 24mm or the 10-18mm? Any help is greatly appreciated.
For our trip in October I'll only take the 24mm with me - we have booked carry on luggage, in the smallest category... A big advantage of the 24mm pancake is that nobody on the streets takes it seriously, so you you can take your pictures, not sean as a tourist.
Thank you so much for this comparison! You explain it in a very clear way. So even noobs like me can understand :) Been using the 50mm for many years besides a bunch of other lenses, but I'm convinced I want a 24mm as well now.
You simply can't compare both 1:1, and this is why - EF-S 24/2.8 is a APS-C lens, which gives ~38.4mm FoV in FF terms, with DoF F/4 equivalent, simple as that. OTOH, the 50/1.8 is a "nifty-fifty" with much faster F1.8 aperture, *and* a 35mm ("FF") lens, go figure. Which would correlate to a ~80mm small Tele (Portrait) lens onto a Canon APS-C Crop Sensor DSLR - so it's horses for courses, like that. 🙂 And the 24/2.8 does have the bit better, sharper optics. The 50/1.8 STM is neither as sharp at the corners, only with F/8, and bigger apertures, the corners sharpen up nicely...but then you deal already with diffraction...with current 24+ MP APS-C Canon Sensors...
Thanks for sharing your opinion! The point of the video is to help those who are beginners to decide which lens works best for them and their specific needs as these are two of the most commonly mentioned budget lenses for beginners. Thanks for watching!
Which of these lenses do y’all prefer?

I have all three of those lenses as well! I think it provides a lot of versatility on a small budget.

I don't remember you mentioning that the 24mm will fit only crop sensor cameras.
You’re right, I didn’t. I should’ve mentioned the difference between EF and EF-S, I think I meant to but forgot!

You’re right, I forgot to mention that… whoops 😬
@@therealtrabowhat about the 50mm? Will it fit on a full frame if I get a upgrade in future? Although unlikely 😂
Yeah! The EF lenses will fit on full frame cameras as well.
I'm 40mm ef lens fan (64mm on a crop) and it does fit on full frame too. This lens is worth checking out !

I’d go for the 24mm first for astrophotography!

Canon 90D user, got my subscription and like. I have both lenses but the 50mm is my favorite for video on my 90D.
Thanks bud for triggering Siri on my HomePod lol.... but seriously, nice video!
Haha, my bad! Thanks for watching 😄
24mm rules! !
It’s a great lens!
Great video
SWO Hoodie 👊
Heck yeah!
Which microphone are you using?
For this video I used the Rode VideoMic 😃
You Rock
Like your video. You look and sound like another camera RUclipsr, are you related?
Thanks! I don’t have any relatives who do RUclips that I know of haha
Stupid to compare 2 completely different lenses!

The only stupid thing I see is ...
