My first camera is the M50 with 15-45 kit lense. My second lense was the Nifty Fifty with the viltrox speed-booster. Having that set up taught me about frame blocking, aps-c to full frame conversions, shooting wide open using Nd filters, white balancing and how focal length can be used to tell a story. This is a great lense and good step forward for those interested in film making. Probably looking for wide angle lense next so maybe the Sigma 16 1.4 or Sigma 18-35 1.8. Great video!
I'm so glad I found your video again. I watched last year and now I'm getting ready to buy the lens and wanted you to get the credit from Amazon. Thank you for such an informative video. Blessings to you and the family.
Have owned my M50 for a month now and love it. I just happen to get the 50mm 1.8 about 2 weeks ago and purchased the speed booster should get it tomorrow. Can't wait to try it out as I love taking sky photos especially sunrise pics. Love those NC afternoon thunder showers, then boom sun is out.
This is so timely video for me to watch, as I have been really thinking to get a 2nd lense, you have showed me beautifully how this lense work and i gotta say this was it, the one im going to get, thanks for making this video.
I like the depth of field view you illustrated, however what's the difference in quality between the nifty fifty and 22mm which I already have and often use it for my talking head videos instead of the kit lens? Speed Booster vs Commlite CM-EF-EOS M..is there any difference?
Definitely my favorite 2nd lens.The 1st one the sigma art 18-35mm f1.8. Thank you and great content always. Greetings from Costa Rica. 👍🏻📸🌋🌴☀️
Definitely one of my go-to youtubers now for M50 videos 💪🏼
I bought my Canon M50 in 2019 from B&H Video and when I bought that it came with a deal to add on the Canon EF/EF-S to EF-M adapter for $12.98. I also now own the Speedbooster but I never hear anyone comment about this deal from B&M. I am not sure if they still do that deal but what a great deal it was. I also have the Nifty Fifty and I agree, it is a great second lens.
Because of this im planning to buy the nifty fifty for my M50. Thank you
This is exactly what I got for my canon m50. 10-18mm and a 50mm. Love that combo!
I want to get myself an ultra wide.
Love your energy in the vid! Glad you're sharing this info
That accent of yours is so enjoyable to hear! I saw someone use an ND8 filter added to this setup for wider apertures in bright outdoor settings. Like putting sunglasses on your lens to get more bokeh recording in bright light.
Thank you. I use a 2-10 stop variable ND whenever I film videos in bright sunlight.
Great video man! Really noticing an improvement of your content and I love it!
Thanks Richard. Been trying to put more thought into the edit while filming.
Awesome video!
I already have the Canon adapter for my M50, but do you recommend getting a speed booster as well if I were to get the Nifty Fifty? Or no need?
I recently bought the M50 and a Viltrox EF to EF-M adapter for my RUclips channel (Home Theater Gamer if you’re interested). I have the 24mm 2.8 and 50mm 1.8 and they both work well, though the nifty fifty I have is the older version without the stepper motor. Autofocus still works flawlessly, it’s just noisy. Thanks for all your M50 content! I’ve learned a few things about the camera!
Your videos are very informative and entertaining. I also love the energy you have in the videos. Two thumbs up from Kingsport, TN!
Your videos are put together and edited so well. Keep up the good work
i don't know why but you're so good at vlogging !
love from Malaysia
Awesome video dude, didn’t know you were local. Keep up the vids!
Just curious, what exact camera and lens did u use to film this video? Also can u do another video of a tutorial sort of as beginner to use the 50mm lens with the m50? Im struggling with it right now, and the thing for autofocus keeps on turning when im like trying to film myself which is kind of distracting with the sound of my video... pls help me
Amazingly informative video as usual. Thanks my friend, keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Definitely my favourite second lens, as well. The sigma 17-50 2.8 is my main shooter, then I use the nifty fifty and a sigma 70-300 to fill in the gaps. This combo has been all I ever need 👍
Dope. Is the 17-50 a crop lens?
The Crowley Crew it’s made for APSC DSLRs, I can’t remember what crop factor that is tbh. I know that zoomed in all the way to 50mm on the Sigma is a bit wider than if I were shooting with the nifty fifty, if that makes sense.
Yup just got the nifty 50, it's my main instagram shooter now, I have a speed booster for true 50mm and a standard adapter for 80mmish equivalent, between that and my sigma 16 for vlogging it's a great set of lenses that will cover a lot of work.
Thankyou for this I'm planning to buy the nifty fifty ♥️👍
Awesome video as always and i love the look of the 50mm. Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you Violet!
The day I bought my M50 with the 15-45mm Kitt lens I knew I wanted the 50mm f1.8. 90% of what I do are with those two lenses.
Much love for your channel and the nifty 50. It was my go to when I had my t3i.
T3i the OG RUclips camera, Nice!
Agree about the 50mm. I have had one since 2006, when I had a Canon 350d (8mp if I remember). Whenever I go away it is always the first lens to go in the bag as I do like the telephoto crop.
Oh yeah! it is a classic by now.
Thanks for the video, amazing content
the best M50 tricks and tips channel💪👌
Thank you!
I totally agree, I've got several other lenses for the M50 now but the 50mm f1.8 was the first lens I purchased for my camera and the combination of increased sharpness and its much lower light capability compared to the kit lens really changed the M50 possibilities. There is no lens that's perfect for all situations and that does include the Nifty Fifty, it's not the best walk and talk or desktop vlogging lens available but that aside, the value for the $$$ spent is outstanding.
Definitely, for the price it is real hard to complain.
I was very lucky to get the 50mm and adapter in my kit for the M6 mk2. Such a great lenses to have. Though don’t forget you need to apply the crop factor to both your framing and f stop if your looking to anything on the technical side of lighting in photography.
Nice vlog CC. The nifty fifty was the second lens I got for my M50 as it's cheap n cheerful. I also got the Viltrox M & M2 (sppedbooster) which the gave me a choice to use the nifty fifty as a 56mm standard prime or an 80mm portrait. Thus demonstrating your point that the 50mm is the best second lens, but also it isn't necessarily a 2nd best lens because of its flexibility, if you see what I mean. Thanks for your vid.
Hi thanks for the Vids! I just have a question, i just brought 50mm lens and a viltrox adaptor for my M50, but it seems like it has zoomed and when I’m holding the camera I can’t even make my face fit, is this normal for 50mm? Or was it my Viltrox adaptor? Thanks
How do you put a grid on the m50 though? Couldn’t find any videos on how to do it.
Hey man love the vid . My Kit lens has always been a disappointment for me and to say that my Drone camera footage is always way better than my M50 footage. There's a wide difference of quality between the two and the drone is always superior. Do you think the sigma 16mm lens would fix the problem and come to somewhat closer to a better quality? Help me out here ,I very sad for the quality that the kit lens is giving out ,even tho I do have the nifty fifty which works fine for clos up shots. Will the 16mm help me achieve those cinematic wide shots ?
Thanks, what is it about the kit lens that you don’t like? Unfortunately comparing it to drone footage is difficult since drops usually shoot in 4K or are just sharpened more. What picture style are you using? That can make a difference. I never use standard because I don’t like the way it looks. If you have dialed in the settings to be perfect but are still thinking it is the lens then you need to figure out the aspects of the lens you have a problem with. Is it sharpness? If so then the Sigma should be a good option. If it is low light then the Sigma should be good for that too. If it is the field of view that is holding you back you probably need to look into something else. If you can let me know specifically what you don’t like I can make some suggestions.
Thank you for this info. Just starting out and did not know I needed an adapter. I purchased both from your links. I hope you have affiliates set up.
Cool ! I know there is a big price difference but for my M50 , should I buy the Sigma 16 mm 1.4. Or the canon 50 mm ? I respect your opinion. I mostly film my outdoor adventures ! Thank you !
Great video man. Buying the 50mm and the adaptor asap.!
What is the color lut you use?
I bought the 50mm but I get getting this super loud noise whenever it focuses. Do you get the same noise?
Great video brother! Thanks!
I am thinking about buying this for the Canon M50 I bought yesterday from Best Buy. Is this footage straight from the camera or is it color graded?
I use the natural picture style with sharpness at 2 and contrast at -4 and upload straight out of camera.
Thanks for the review! I am an M50 owner and thinking of my second lens. I guess nifty fifty is my pick!
Niffffffty those are the only two lense I carry. Saving for the 15-55 sig
Nice. I haven’t looked into that one.
Is that the BP 450 AW II? I have that backpack, love it! Great video, as always! Packed with information and fun
It is the 250 Aw actually.
Did you film this video with the 50mm? The focus is never this stable when I'm filming.
Underrated channel
I have the 50 and it really is a great lens!
what lens u use for vlog in this video. looks good and not so shaky
The 15-45mm kit lens. Just did a video about it.
what if i am a vlogger or doing vlog outside what lens is appropriate for me?
does my 50mm f2.5 lens is enough?
or the common kit lens 18-55mm
A 50mm is a bit tight for vlogging, you’d probably do better with the kit lens.
How come background is lens, blur in this less even if havin aperture of 1.8 , i see 👀 EF M 22mm f/2 looks more cinematic . Or while shooting this video you have kept bit more aperture ?
JOB! I got the Laowa 9mm and it’s definitely the best lens so far!
Dope! I have been wondering about that one for a while.
Great video. Good recommendation. Lately I've thought just a little about how everyone is talking about shallow DOF, which is understandable. But sometimes, less often you might actually want the opposite. One of the things about DOF that is not always mentioned is that DOF varies by distance to subject. And, it's seems, DOF it literally a function of the size or 'scale' of the lens and sensor. Obviously bigger pupils let in more light, but always at the 'expense' of less DOF. I keep wondering if there's an optical way for larger lens (vs a smaller one) to regain that DOF, if you want it, while still gathering more light to the sensor. Something like a speed-booster, but that doesn't change focal length, just 'concentrates' light at the same magnification (from a larger image circle to a smaller one). I know that sounds like a contradiction. So far, I've not heard of anything, and I sorta think the physics might be against it. But at least, I think it's interesting to think about optics from different angles, to help understand it.
Ahh, to be young again. Great videos dude
Video helps a lot! Thumbs up.
Was the Nifty Fifty used for this entire video?
I currently use my old Pentax 50mm (manual) and like what it can do...but yep, it lacks autofocus. This Cannon lens with autofocus looks awesome. I may need to do a swap. Great vid.
Thanks! It’s hard, I have an older Nikon 50 and it is beautiful, but the lack of AF means I rarely grab it.
Greetings from Greece. I have the m50 paired with the sigma 16mm f1.4 and i love it! I want a larger mm lens, do you think a viltrox adapter paired with the ef 50mm will do the job, compaired with the sigma 56mm f1.4? The sigma is pricey, that's why i'm asking. Keep making videos!!!
Oh sweet! I go to ncsu!!! I am getting an m50 body and the nifty fifty soon for my cooking channel!
So, question, if I purchased a cheap 25mm f 1.8 prime lense plus the crop factor of 1.6 because of the sensor I am at a 40mm equivalent is this a correct way of thinking about this?
Yes. The 25mm will give you the lens compression of a 40mm.
I use this lens with Viltrox Speed booster :)
Me too, that is the way I normally use it, but in this vid I wanted to show the cheaper setup.
I enjoyed the video, but 22mm f2 and 50mm which is you recommendation, as you have used both.
In terms of sharpness they’re both good low light both similar so it comes down the focal length. That depends on what look you’re going for. The 22mm is more of a mid range walk around lens, (good for street photos or wide portraits shots) The 50mm is a tight lens for more detail shots, tighter “pro” portraits and interviews. Figure out which focal length you like shooting at on the kit lens.
Nice review brother...
Looking to buy the Canon M50 Body and that 1.8 lens. I need to buy the adapter for it to work ??
Yes you need an EF-EF-M adapter
The EF nifty is great for AF, no doubt. But vintage 50mm have their charm so get both types..
Oh yeah, definitely. I am not in any way knocking vintage lenses.
Man, I haven’t seen u for awhile on RUclips. Good
Yeah I have not been as consistent as I’d like recently.
Great video, lots of good info. I have the 50mm 1.8 and commlite adapter for my m50 mk2 but I find that I constantly have to fiddle with the adapter for the lens to focus. I also find that for self shooting, the camera has to be really far away to get everything I need in frame. Takes good pictures but I’m not sure I’m into the video aspect for my purposes.
You have the ii or the stm?
I use it often for my vlogs with the m50. But I need to stand a bit away from the cam haha
do you need the adapter to use it on the md50
@@SCaRRmill yes
@@saluonline which adapter did you get
The 11-22mm lens will be best for vlogging
But the Mmount 24mm can be considered a good alternative considering it keeps the focus?
I definitely have nothing against vintage lenses. You can get some awesome stuff.
I'm having a hard time choosing my next lens. I have a vintage Canon 50mm, but I am tempted to get more of the EF-M lenses. I have the 15-45mm, but i don't know if i wanna get the 22mm, or a different ultrawide.
Well the 22mm on the M50 is not an ultra wide. You probably need something closer to 10mm for that, (though other that’s that the 22mm is awesome.
If you already have a 50mm you like You don’t have to get this one. Have you checked out sigmas EF-M lenses? They are probably the highest quality Native mount lenses. Other than those though unless size is more important to you that image quality (which is fine) I wouldn’t get the EF-M mount lens at least the ones with auto focus.
Sir can you please tell us which camera are you using to record the vlogs? And is m50 good for a bit filmmaking purpose? ✌✌
The video is *REALLY REALLY* good🔥🔥🔥
I used the canon M50 and the kit lens.
@@TheCrowleyCrew nice video quality 😲😲😲
Best vloger ..........love 💓 from India 💓💓
Can you do a video about sigma 18-35 1.8 vs canon EF 50
How you plan and edit your shots are insanely good. You should consider making some vlogging tip videos. Amazing job
I’ve made a couple. Usually I don’t have a solid plan, but I review footage a lot to make sure my tone is the same and then just thinking how it will look to an audience.
@@TheCrowleyCrew Well you have a brilliant way of shooting your videos. Like no other here on RUclips. Keep that going. And I do think Vlogging Tips, Shot Planning, Creative Editing Tips type videos would kill it on your channel.
I’ll think about it. I have one called peter McKinnon’s b-roll hack that might be worth a watch.
@@TheCrowleyCrew 👀👀👀 Definitely
Hy dear. How you deal with battery life of canon m50? How many batteries do you keep for a long day vlogging/video day??
you need atleast 2 for an hour of recording but i'd recommend you keep 2 spare and 1 in the camera
I’d second that. I have 4 batteries total, but I have never gone through more that two. Though there have been a few times I forgot to charge, so having 3-4 is the way to go.
My sister is a professional photographer. I used to help her on shots often. She keeps a lot on her. I ordered 2 extra as I'm about to get started with my m50 next week!
Nifty fifty is the best 😍 I used it in making my videos for my channel 🔥
I have a question. Why do I need to use an adaptor on Canon M50 if I have original Canon lens? Like I have EF 50mm f/1.8 STM and EFS 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM. Do I still need an adaptor?? Also what is the cheap adaptor I could buy please which will set on M50 and both my lenses? If some one could answer me please as I am planning to buy Canon M50? Thank you...
The EF-S lenses are made for DLSR cameras that have a mirror between the lens and the sensor. When you mount a DSLR lens on a mirrorless camera you need something that makes the lens the same distance from the sensor. That is where the adapter comes in.
Here is Viltrox’s version. www.amazon.com/EF-EOS-Electronic-Auto-Focus-Converter-Mirrorless/dp/B07P2CH43B/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=ef-efm&qid=1630063803&sr=8-3
@@TheCrowleyCrew Hey!!! Really appreciate for quick response...Thank you for the details and the links. You made my life easy....Love you.
Looking to buy the Canon M50 BODY only and the EF 50mm 1.8 Do i also need to buy the adapter for it to work ?
Yes you need an EF-EF-M adapter
@@TheCrowleyCrew okay thank you ! Adding to the cart !
What's the best lens then? The 32mm f1.4?
I'm sold!
I have the nifty fifty you are talking about but I prefer the FD 50 1.4 on my M50. I use the adapters you mentioned.
u know i actually ordered this two days ago...u read my mind...gonna be using this with an adaptor...need this for portraits for my photography bizness..great vid and also i ordered the comm lite
btw i missed ur vlogs..welcome back
Thanks. It’s good to be back.
Hii. I just owned the m50. And of course after this video I’m planing to buy 50mm lens But I don’t have the adapter.
So Should I go with speed booster instead of regular adapter? Please suggest me.
And also I want to use 10-18mm lens on it. So what’s your suggestion?
If you’re gonna get the 10-18 definitely start with the regular one. The 10-18 won’t work with the speed booster.
Just an unsolicited shout-out for the 10-18. I find it's a beast for the M50 - wonderful image quality and sharpness at any focal length, and you can show a main subject and let viewers see some context, too.
Great as always....I'm thinking why not just the native 22mm f2, (is f2 not fast enough?), which for me in uk would be cheaper than 50mm plus adaptor. Am I missing something or is it just if you have existing glass. Still love everything you do.
It really depends on what focal length you need. The 22mm is great for wider to mid shots, the 50mm is for tight shots. What are you shooting?
@@TheCrowleyCrew Thanks for the reply, it's got me thinking. I am an Osteopath trying to do some tutorials for patients so studio like environment. It also nudged me to use the kit lens more thoughtfully. I then went out to play for a couple of hours and got some nice shots. I'm a fan of travelling light. Your channel has really helped me out and why I chose the M50 despite all the reviews saying it's an entry level camera. The exposure triangle is the exposure triangle whatever you're using. I'm even realising what an amazing camera my G7X is. Maybe I could be the G7X Gal !!!! 🤔
What Lowepro backpack are you rocking?
I am using the older Protactic 250AW. The 350 might be a better option though.
It looks like a wheelie good lense 🤣🤙
It is wheelie wheelie good. 😂

Yep, trick of the camera.
I remember when you started this channel like 2 years ago when you first got the M50 wow 14k subs now congrats do you still do cabinets LOL
Thank you! I do still do cabinets.
he will be 140k in no time.
You learn something new everyday 😂! I wasn't aware that the nifty fifty and the 15 had the same thread size. I just bought a variable and filter for the 50. But I have the 50mil from Yungnuo. Slow to focus and loud when it does anything. In my opinion, it's better to use the speed booster. Takes away the m50 1.6 crop factor. This way you get closer to 50mm.
I have this lens also. It is extremely noisy on AF. MF is the way to go. Also, an extender on top for a mic will reduce noise in video. How's the speed booster? (I've heard a lot of negatives.)
I also have the Yunnuo. That having a 52mm filter size, right? I hope so.., just ordered an ND filter
@@ectwins8128 The Yongnuo 50mm 1.8 has a 52mm ND filter size while the m50 kit lens has a 49mm ND filter size. So the Yongnuo ND filter will not fit the m50's kit lens. You have to buy a filter for the kit lens...sucks!
@@denmarksoul1184 I actually have wireless mics. You can't hear any noise with those. The speed booster widens the focal length and offsets the m50's 1.6x crop factor, allow you to shoot at or below the 50mm focal length of the nifty 50. It also magnifies light which means your 1.8 lens goes down to a 1.2. I haven't notice any problems with the booster communicating with the camera's autofocus but the booster bring in too much light for you to shoot at 1.2...so I bought a 52mm ND filter for it. Speed booster also allow you to use the m50 like a full frame camera. It great...except the more expensive lenses.
@@ectwins8128 he must have been using the nifty 50 made by Canon. That's why they have the same filter size.
wow, vlogging through Chapel Hill. I could never do that and I'm on campus everyday lol Were you visiting for fun?
Nice as always
Thank you!
@@TheCrowleyCrew i got it a couple days ago! Works great
I thought of getting 22mm lens for m50 for videos then later get 50mm.. What do you say.. I shoot mostly videos for yt
I am releasing a video on the 22mm today. That will probably explain better than I can in a comment.
I have learned a lot from your videos .. love from india 🔅
Thank you Mannan!
are you using the kit lens in this video to vlog?
Yes
@@TheCrowleyCrew Thanks my friend! May I also ask which stick you hold to get such a nice picture, because in my case I am using the small manfrotto tripod to hold the camera in front of me, but as you can see in my videos my face is too close to the camera... can you suggest some stick options that allows more distance from camera to face, just like in your videos?
I use the gorillapod 3k and I stretch it out as long as I can.
