You're one of the best examples of all RUclips accounts that show us how amazing quality footage one's can get out of a very friendly budgets for us indie Filmmakers. The passion, effort and time in what you do pays off and we're so grateful for you. Keep it up 👍
Thank you very much, appreciate it! I'm always recording in my spare time, testing heaps of lenses and new gear etc. I enjoy sharing them here. Thanks for watching. Cheers! 🎥😎👍
Thanks for your recommendation, I have a 50mm 1.2 (not L) Canon FDn and it's great indeed. Now I'm considering either a speedbooster (better apature) or your 28mm (no extra glass between) and also keeping my eye on a 28mm f2.
Hell ya I can't wait so many to choose from... I'm still using the kit 18-55mm but I can see the difference now after watching so many of your videos it's time to upgrade bro you have re-energized my motivation for filmmaking keep up the good work #keepfilming 🤩🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤩
No problem at all. I used to own the 15-45...boy was I shocked at the quality compared to these lenses. I'll never touch those kit stuff again. If you really need Ef-m AF lens, the Ef-M 22mm STM is a good option, I don't own it anymore though.
Excellent as usual Zeek! This might be your best smoothest footage selection yet! Amazing! I just bought an M50 to complement my M's, M3, and M100. All of these cameras are great! Fortunately I have all those old super-fast Nikkor lenses from my SLR days and they are great! Also worth noting is the Canon BCTV zoom lenses for the M with Magic Lantern! They also work well on the M50 in 4k with the crop! They're heavy but worth the workout!

hey Zeek! Is it possible to throw that 7aritsans 12mm on a speedboster? It's not far off from the 15mm m50 kit lens so I was just wondering how they might compare. Great work! I love the insight you bring to all of your videos. Thanks!
Hi Zeek, I love your videos and the quality of the footage. I'm a newbie trying to learn as much as I can on video filming. I got my first EOS M camera (2nd hand) and I'm trying to install Magic Lantern software as per your recommendations. The firmware that comes installed is 2.0.3 so not sure if you have a tutorial for that specific version? Is there any way to downgrade this to the 2.0.2 needed to install Magic Lantern? Thank you for your help and again, thank you for your great videos. Manu

Do you have a video to help people trying to stream with a canon EOS-M camera? I am having problems with the HDMI output, the video is cropped and has a grey border around it, and there are OSD elements still on the screen, as well as the screen timeout after a few seconds. You seem to be the guru on these EOS-M cameras, did I buy the wrong camera for live streaming?
I don't do live streaming with the M. People I've heard use capture cards. Are you using Magic Lantern with it? You can enable "clear overlays" which will get rid of all the information on screen.
@@ZeekEOSZ yes, and thank you. I am using some capture cards i got cheap, they are working pretty good with my gopro and OBS. I will look for the clear overlays option. Thanks!
Hi Zeek, first I want to say, thank you very much for your videos. Top notch, the best of the best, not BS just straight to it in a calm manner. Keep it up, and I am sure you will do great things on this platform. Next I would like to say. I bought an Eos M. It has a kit lens, but after reading your comments you mentioned to basically stay away. I woll try it out anyway after installing ML. Luckily I have canon FD 50 and the FD 28mm on my film camera. I want to shoot product promotional videos on the eos m. What lens would be best for this? and any speedbosters needed? And what FD to Eos M adapter should I get? For the FD lenses? Thank you again.
For product promotions, I would use the 7Artisans 12mm f2.8, 25mm F1.8, or 50/55mm F1.4. Great Lenses. For FD Lenses a basic Adapter is fine, but I'd recommend the FD to EOS M Speedbooster 😎👍
@@ZeekEOSZ I have downloaded ML to the camera but I am struggling to.get MLV APP on my macbook pro. I.download and it says the developer is not recognised. What am I doing wrong?
Hey Zeek, thanks for the awesome content as always. Have you tried any Samyang lenses? They can be quite cheap on ebay 2nd as well, 85/1.4 EF, 35/1.4 EF. Also I'm thinking about now getting an EOS M, none of the the older EOS Ms got ML available, do they?
Yes I have, the Samyang 35mm EF & 50mm are what i use for my RUclips talking heads and b-roll. I used it on the EOS M a while back here: ruclips.net/video/1S_7-i8mK-U/видео.html
I’m not trying to be rude but crop factor isn’t the same as the ff equivalent. It’s just fov. A 55mm on ff isn’t the same as an 85 in terms of distortion, compression and dof. Those are the characteristics of the 85mm that make people consider it a good portrait focal length.
Hi Zeek, does the 7artisans 12mm filter adapter allow us to mount a 77mm-82mm step up ring? Is there a filter thread in front of the adapter? I initially planned to get a K&F 77mm ND8-ND128 Filter but may opt for a 82mm one if the 7artisans filter adapter allows it. Hope to hear from you soon.
Can you recommend waht zoom lens for the canon e0s m10 I could use so I can shoot video of myself up close but have a wide field of view so it also captures my background and also be able to zoom in>
@@ZeekEOSZ Then I need an adaptor don't I? I saw some amazing cinema footage with the 15-45mm Ef-M that the M10 comes with.It’s a Canon EF-M 15-45mm f3.5-6.3. Isn't that a good one also?
You do. Viltrox EF to EOS M. I've had the 15-45, it's okay..if you want to travel light. I preferred the 18-55 Kit. I reviewed it here for the M: ruclips.net/video/ypaPXESEUyQ/видео.html These are nice lenses outdoor, not quite indoor though

Tell me what you're looking to do with the cam? RUclips, short films? The R5/R6 will be amazing cams, just the price is what everybody is waiting for. Ultimately get something that will make you grow in the video category. Something you can use for gigs, RUclips, B-Roll etc... I recently sold my A7RII and BMPCC 4K, not because they're bad, just don't need them now. Cheers!
@@ZeekEOSZ what! you sold your a7rii and bmpcc 4k can you make a video talking about your thoughts?! that's INSANE. omg, thanks for giving me clarity, I honestly just wanted it to create videos that I love but honestly you're absolutely right, its about being budget friendly and utilizing what you have to create the films, instead of filming with the ego. if you don't need those things, then surely I dont either, really opened my perspective. wow. I'll stick to my Eos M and learn how to sound and light better and definitely check out those lens recommendations too, thank you so much!! I was going to get a m6 but I think I'll save up for an m50 or go pro 8 for the days I do need to vlog with good autofocus it does help its the same batteries as the Eos M, and get that microphone you reccomeneded, although I'm not too keen on the idea of having batteries I'm sure you don't need to swap them out too often, wow I'm shocked about you selling your gear. you're the greatest of all time! thank you zeek! I just make videos for RUclips and its nice to dream about gear but you literally had the best gear and sold it because you find joy in what you do and theres nothing wrong with budget gear plus you have great results from it. insane. thank you!
I just don't need things that will slow the process down. The Sony didn't have very good AF and no flip screen, so making YT vids were difficult and slow. The M50 has DPAF in 1080p but not in 4K, but in 4K I just use a wide lens and flip the screen out to focus with the 7Artisans 12mm f2.8. Used this setup in the last few videos on YT. The M6 ii 4K DPAF and 1.6x crop would help, but I'm not willing to spend that price for a YT cam. The Bmpcc 4k was really good, but I seemed to prefer the Eos m sensor size and pop more. I like Super 35mm look. So for now EOS M and M50 make a great team, and then maybe something else to fill a different spot. Everyone has needs, it's not always about getting the latest, just get the one/s that will get your job done and help tell your story.
@@ZeekEOSZ you're absolutely right, I've been making excuses by trying to find the best setup instead of using what I have and making the most of what I have, I notice by the way you decided was that you truly are living with passion and purpose that's what's leading you because it really shows. that's why you got the boya mic and not the rode wireless go because that extra savings you can put towards a lens. it all makes sense. you didn't get a 10-18/11-22mm because the auto focus doesn't work well in 4k mode and the 12mm f2.8 is much better quality anyways, so much drive I'm so inspired thank you for following your heart so I can figure out what works best for me too, I also have a speed booster so that opens up alot of possibilities! can you tell me how the 5d mark ii falls into this combo and are you still using anything for stabilization?
No problem! With the 5D2, I'm just playing around with it until some new updates come like lossless recording so hopefully we can get continuous 2.7K Raw. But who knows. Ive been using my EOS M a lot with 2.5K Raw and wide angle lenses, also the M50 with anamorphic lenses. I enjoy testing. For stabilisation, just my neck strap + pistol grip and I've also been testing out my Moza Aircross 1 Gimbal. Cheers!
Hey seek I have a question: if i have the Canon 22mm f/2 which is equvilent to 35mm on ff is there really a point in getting the 7artisan 25mm 1.8 which is 40mm equivalent (it's Canon vs 7artisan glass)?
I've owned the 22mm. Takes nice photos, especially the macro like capability. I prefer the build on the 7Artisans and the manual focus is simply better, more damp and precise. Both are good options, good colours, sharpness etc. Just depends on the focal length you prefer. For me personally as a video guy, I'd go the 7Artisans 25mm. Focus feels much better as well as the build quality.
I saw you using the sigma 50 1.4 hsm, would you reccomend this for the M50, mainly photography and a bit video work. I love the bokeh of it, is there a big difference to the canon 50 1.8 stm? Would help out a lot thx
Hey, yeah love that lens. It's not really good with flares but it beats both the 50mm STM and the Canon 50mm F1.4 that I've had. Definitely good for photos. 👌
For 1080 video, the AF should be good. MF can be quite difficulty being quite a large lens, but it's possible. Make sure with the seller the focus is smooth and even. I used this lens on my original EOS M a while ago: ruclips.net/video/9IXBUCwokDM/видео.html and here: ruclips.net/video/6p8thB4YmxU/видео.html
I got a silly copyright claim. I used a copyright free music from RUclips for the first time, guess it didn't work. I'll be uploading a video soon I shot and then another one will follow. Cheers!
Doesn't work due to flange distance, it becomes macro. I've used a Canon FD to EF glass adapter which corrects the flange distance, but quality is reduced.
I've just ordered a canon eos m, but I'm a completelly newbie about those camera stuff. So, I have a question: once speedboosters adapters are too expensive by now in brazil (couse our money is worthing nothing over the dollar) wich lenses do you think goes well with regular adapters?
The 7Artisans 25mm F1.8 mentioned in this video is a steal, love it, always use it. 😎👌 No adapter required. Canon FD lenses are great too, you need a Canon FD to EOS M Adapter.
@@ZeekEOSZ Thank you! And thank you for provide us all those great contents in your channel about the canon eos m and ML. That will be very helpful for me to start!
Friends, is it possible to control the canon eos m camera with smartphones while recording? At this moment she takes off. Control focus, start and stop recording?
@@ZeekEOSZ looks amazing even on youtube...gongrats. I fell on your video because I was looking for some wider and faster lens than those FD and I saw those 7arstisans, pergear and other chinese heap lenses that can do that. I was wondering what the difference in qualities they have compared to those more expensive at the time glass...What I find is they re close enough with maybe better flaring and maybe a bit warmer color on the FD while being softer when fully open..?
@@BobCorey Canon FD have really nice flares, very natural colours which I like. 7Artisans are great, they're more like a modern rendition of these in my opinion.
is this the name of the lens adapter ? Lens Adapter Focusing Infinity Focal Reducer Speed Booster with Optical Glass for Canon FD Lens to EOS M M50 M6 M5 M10 M3 M2 Adapter Ring
Hey, I just got the 7artisans 12mm 2.8 and I can't record with ML. I have the "Release shutter without card" ON. Is there some setting in the ML itself I need to turn on?
Sup Zeek, Look at me here again! Zeek how do you achieve so much sharpness in your images? i have an m50 and my images are never clear ever! Can you explain me ? thank you
@@ZeekEOSZ yes you explained most of it later in the video i was to quick to write this comment 😁 and im also shooting with the M50 and thinking about buying a m1 or 2 to play around with. I been following you eos m vids for a while now and it's very informative and nice to see what you create with the ML and eos m. Keep them coming 👍🏽
@@ZeekEOSZ ah Great yeah because i was waiting for this video. I shoot all me work with the M50 in 1080p 60 fps and been thinking going with the eos m and ML but i still have my doubts. With the extra workflow and bigger file all if that and the lack of autofocus. I saw that there is someone working on a ML for the canon RP that would be something. But its great content anyway. I think i seen all your vids on the eos m 😂
Don't have that issue. Try shooting with 1/40 and see if there is a noticeable difference. What lens are you using? I tend to keep away from the kit lens.
@@ZeekEOSZ ya I have the 10-18mm right now, but I also have the 15-45mm and 22mm f2 but u said get rid of the 15-45mm asap right? what lens do you love with use of a speed booster?
@@ZeekEOSZ woaahh nice video zeek.. and how about 12mm? it is prefer to handheld vlogging? And capture the landscape? I'm an amateur sorry too many ask questions by the way 😅
@@ryanhafiez4321 The 25mm is good then, but also the Sigma 17-50mm OS or Tamron 17-50mm VC should be good options too if you can get them at good prices.
Hi Zeek I have a question: How do you get the 5D mark ii footage look so sharp? Because with my footage it looks unsharp and when I sharpen it in the MLV app it looks way to digital or should I do this. Does it look then better on YT? Or is there a specific setting that I have to enable? Bdw I use your 5D mark ii ML build. Here is my footage : ruclips.net/video/VlEc4Bkc_Yg/видео.html and you can see there it is unsharper than your footage and I copied every setting that you had. I would be really happy if you can give me an answer :)

Beautiful footage!! I have an m50 aswell. What picture profil som you use?
Cinestyle 😎👍
Good to see some Canon alternatives! I wonder: Are all cheaper lenses always manual focus?
No they're not, for example Yongnuo AF for EF Mount. They just feel cheap though, and for the price AF performance may be poor.
What are your settings for shooting video on the m50. Like do you use a picture profile or just color grade it super good? I just love the color and pop you get out of your footage

hey Zeek! Is it possible to throw that 7aritsans 12mm on a speedboster? It's not far off from the 15mm m50 kit lens so I was just wondering how they might compare. Great work! I love the insight you bring to all of your videos. Thanks!
Haha... definitely not. The speedbooster is EF Mount, the 7Artosams is EF-m Mount so not adaptable. The 12mm is good for large crop modes.
Hi Zeek, I love your videos and the quality of the footage. I'm a newbie trying to learn as much as I can on video filming. I got my first EOS M camera (2nd hand) and I'm trying to install Magic Lantern software as per your recommendations. The firmware that comes installed is 2.0.3 so not sure if you have a tutorial for that specific version? Is there any way to downgrade this to the 2.0.2 needed to install Magic Lantern? Thank you for your help and again, thank you for your great videos. Manu
Yep. Download the firmware here in this link, pop it on the SD card and update Firmware:

Great video! Do you recommend the EOS M for A cam? Would the autofocus be bad?
I would, though not for AF. It's a cam from 2012 👍
@@ZeekEOSZ Awesome thanks! I am guessing that the m50 would be the way to go if I need AF.

Yes, although 1080 quality isn't great, at least to me.
@@ZeekEOSZ Sweet thanks!
Do you have a video to help people trying to stream with a canon EOS-M camera? I am having problems with the HDMI output, the video is cropped and has a grey border around it, and there are OSD elements still on the screen, as well as the screen timeout after a few seconds. You seem to be the guru on these EOS-M cameras, did I buy the wrong camera for live streaming?
I don't do live streaming with the M. People I've heard use capture cards. Are you using Magic Lantern with it? You can enable "clear overlays" which will get rid of all the information on screen.
@@ZeekEOSZ yes, and thank you. I am using some capture cards i got cheap, they are working pretty good with my gopro and OBS. I will look for the clear overlays option. Thanks!
Hi Zeek, first I want to say, thank you very much for your videos. Top notch, the best of the best, not BS just straight to it in a calm manner. Keep it up, and I am sure you will do great things on this platform.
Next
I would like to say.
I bought an Eos M. It has a kit lens, but after reading your comments you mentioned to basically stay away. I woll try it out anyway after installing ML. Luckily I have canon FD 50 and the FD 28mm on my film camera.
I want to shoot product promotional videos on the eos m. What lens would be best for this? and any speedbosters needed? And what FD to Eos M adapter should I get? For the FD lenses?
Thank you again.
For product promotions, I would use the 7Artisans 12mm f2.8, 25mm F1.8, or 50/55mm F1.4. Great Lenses.
For FD Lenses a basic Adapter is fine, but I'd recommend the FD to EOS M Speedbooster 😎👍
@@ZeekEOSZ brilliant thank you very kuch for.your reply Zeek.
@@ZeekEOSZ I have downloaded ML to the camera but I am struggling to.get MLV APP on my macbook pro. I.download and it says the developer is not recognised. What am I doing wrong?
@@FaisalChriqui
You need to go into MacBook settings / privacy and click allow anyway
@@ZeekEOSZ Thank you Zeek
Hey Zeek, thanks for the awesome content as always. Have you tried any Samyang lenses? They can be quite cheap on ebay 2nd as well, 85/1.4 EF, 35/1.4 EF.
Also I'm thinking about now getting an EOS M, none of the the older EOS Ms got ML available, do they?
Yes I have, the Samyang 35mm EF & 50mm are what i use for my RUclips talking heads and b-roll.
I used it on the EOS M a while back here:
ruclips.net/video/1S_7-i8mK-U/видео.html
Hey bro which one would you recommend the best for filmmaking with a canon m50 mark ii?
Hi Zeek, if you put a vintage Canon FDn lens on the mentionend speedbooster, will the great natural colours remain? Thanks again.
Yes for sure! The Autumn shots you see in this video are with the canon FD Lens and the speedbooster.
I’m not trying to be rude but crop factor isn’t the same as the ff equivalent. It’s just fov. A 55mm on ff isn’t the same as an 85 in terms of distortion, compression and dof. Those are the characteristics of the 85mm that make people consider it a good portrait focal length.
Hi Zeek, does the 7artisans 12mm filter adapter allow us to mount a 77mm-82mm step up ring? Is there a filter thread in front of the adapter? I initially planned to get a K&F 77mm ND8-ND128 Filter but may opt for a 82mm one if the 7artisans filter adapter allows it. Hope to hear from you soon.
Apologies dude, didn't see this one until now. Yes you can 😎👍
@@ZeekEOSZ Thanks for the reply man. Gonna get the 82mm filter soon!

Deff going to pickup 7artasns lens! How do you feel about the 35mm 7 artisans Zeek? Great video btw!
I've never used the 7Artisans 35mm, but people have told me it's great! Just depends if you like that field of view. Cheers! 👍
Maybe you bought the wrong mount
Nikkor looks great
Love them :)
Nice colors
Thanks! Gotta love Autumn 😉👍
Can you recommend waht zoom lens for the canon e0s m10 I could use so I can shoot video of myself up close but have a wide field of view so it also captures my background and also be able to zoom in>
Canon 18-135mm 😎👌
If you want better aperture, Sigma 17-50 F2.8 OS or Tamron 17-50 F2.8 VC.
@@ZeekEOSZ Then I need an adaptor don't I? I saw some amazing cinema footage with the 15-45mm Ef-M that the M10 comes with.It’s a Canon EF-M 15-45mm f3.5-6.3. Isn't that a good one also?
You do. Viltrox EF to EOS M. I've had the 15-45, it's okay..if you want to travel light. I preferred the 18-55 Kit. I reviewed it here for the M:

Thanks a lot Zeek 🙏🏽
No probs! 😎👍
Great video 👌
Thanks 👍
Zeek would you recommend the m6 mark ii or save money for the r5 or just use the money for other gear like lighting audio and lenses?
Tell me what you're looking to do with the cam? RUclips, short films? The R5/R6 will be amazing cams, just the price is what everybody is waiting for. Ultimately get something that will make you grow in the video category. Something you can use for gigs, RUclips, B-Roll etc...
I recently sold my A7RII and BMPCC 4K, not because they're bad, just don't need them now. Cheers!
@@ZeekEOSZ what! you sold your a7rii and bmpcc 4k can you make a video talking about your thoughts?! that's INSANE. omg, thanks for giving me clarity, I honestly just wanted it to create videos that I love but honestly you're absolutely right, its about being budget friendly and utilizing what you have to create the films, instead of filming with the ego. if you don't need those things, then surely I dont either, really opened my perspective. wow. I'll stick to my Eos M and learn how to sound and light better and definitely check out those lens recommendations too, thank you so much!! I was going to get a m6 but I think I'll save up for an m50 or go pro 8 for the days I do need to vlog with good autofocus it does help its the same batteries as the Eos M, and get that microphone you reccomeneded, although I'm not too keen on the idea of having batteries I'm sure you don't need to swap them out too often, wow I'm shocked about you selling your gear. you're the greatest of all time! thank you zeek! I just make videos for RUclips and its nice to dream about gear but you literally had the best gear and sold it because you find joy in what you do and theres nothing wrong with budget gear plus you have great results from it. insane. thank you!
I just don't need things that will slow the process down. The Sony didn't have very good AF and no flip screen, so making YT vids were difficult and slow. The M50 has DPAF in 1080p but not in 4K, but in 4K I just use a wide lens and flip the screen out to focus with the 7Artisans 12mm f2.8. Used this setup in the last few videos on YT. The M6 ii 4K DPAF and 1.6x crop would help, but I'm not willing to spend that price for a YT cam.
The Bmpcc 4k was really good, but I seemed to prefer the Eos m sensor size and pop more. I like Super 35mm look.
So for now EOS M and M50 make a great team, and then maybe something else to fill a different spot.
Everyone has needs, it's not always about getting the latest, just get the one/s that will get your job done and help tell your story.
@@ZeekEOSZ you're absolutely right, I've been making excuses by trying to find the best setup instead of using what I have and making the most of what I have, I notice by the way you decided was that you truly are living with passion and purpose that's what's leading you because it really shows. that's why you got the boya mic and not the rode wireless go because that extra savings you can put towards a lens. it all makes sense. you didn't get a 10-18/11-22mm because the auto focus doesn't work well in 4k mode and the 12mm f2.8 is much better quality anyways, so much drive I'm so inspired thank you for following your heart so I can figure out what works best for me too, I also have a speed booster so that opens up alot of possibilities! can you tell me how the 5d mark ii falls into this combo and are you still using anything for stabilization?
No problem! With the 5D2, I'm just playing around with it until some new updates come like lossless recording so hopefully we can get continuous 2.7K Raw. But who knows. Ive been using my EOS M a lot with 2.5K Raw and wide angle lenses, also the M50 with anamorphic lenses. I enjoy testing. For stabilisation, just my neck strap + pistol grip and I've also been testing out my Moza Aircross 1 Gimbal. Cheers!
Hey seek I have a question: if i have the Canon 22mm f/2 which is equvilent to 35mm on ff is there really a point in getting the 7artisan 25mm 1.8 which is 40mm equivalent (it's Canon vs 7artisan glass)?
I've owned the 22mm. Takes nice photos, especially the macro like capability. I prefer the build on the 7Artisans and the manual focus is simply better, more damp and precise. Both are good options, good colours, sharpness etc. Just depends on the focal length you prefer. For me personally as a video guy, I'd go the 7Artisans 25mm. Focus feels much better as well as the build quality.
Thank you very much
Tzvi Eber Autofocus? Can you live without it?
I saw you using the sigma 50 1.4 hsm, would you reccomend this for the M50, mainly photography and a bit video work. I love the bokeh of it, is there a big difference to the canon 50 1.8 stm? Would help out a lot thx
Hey, yeah love that lens. It's not really good with flares but it beats both the 50mm STM and the Canon 50mm F1.4 that I've had. Definitely good for photos. 👌
@@ZeekEOSZ so AF and MF is also good for video?
For 1080 video, the AF should be good. MF can be quite difficulty being quite a large lens, but it's possible. Make sure with the seller the focus is smooth and even.
I used this lens on my original EOS M a while ago:

Hello friend! Why did you delete the last b-roll video? Already missed, waiting for a new video! ;)
I got a silly copyright claim. I used a copyright free music from RUclips for the first time, guess it didn't work. I'll be uploading a video soon I shot and then another one will follow. Cheers!

Pleasure! 🍺🎥
Any thoughts on the Canon Fd 28mm F3.5? Thanks
I want to ask zeek
Have you ever used FD to EF
Then transfer the FD lens (EF mount)
Transferred to EF-EOS M SpeedBooster 0.71x
Can he work normally?
Doesn't work due to flange distance, it becomes macro. I've used a Canon FD to EF glass adapter which corrects the flange distance, but quality is reduced.
@@ZeekEOSZ ok thx
Do you prefere the Viltrox over the Pixco speedbooster?
I've just ordered a canon eos m, but I'm a completelly newbie about those camera stuff. So, I have a question: once speedboosters adapters are too expensive by now in brazil (couse our money is worthing nothing over the dollar) wich lenses do you think goes well with regular adapters?
The 7Artisans 25mm F1.8 mentioned in this video is a steal, love it, always use it. 😎👌 No adapter required. Canon FD lenses are great too, you need a Canon FD to EOS M Adapter.
@@ZeekEOSZ Thank you! And thank you for provide us all those great contents in your channel about the canon eos m and ML. That will be very helpful for me to start!
No worries 😎👍
@@ZeekEOSZ hey Zeek! Just bought the 7Artisians lens but can’t seem to attach it my my eos m. Any suggestions?
@@declanwarner4835 it needs to be EOS M Mount (EF-m)
Friends, is it possible to control the canon eos m camera with smartphones while recording? At this moment she takes off. Control focus, start and stop recording?
Only with the Canon 6D and 5D Mark III as they have wifi/NFC.
Nice footage you threw in! I was wandering do they have some kind of post processing?
Thank you. The footage were lightly edited in Davinci
@@ZeekEOSZ Oh nice! Except from the color twist is there something like an effect on top like artificial chromatic aberration or something?
@@BobCorey Nope, all left natural.
@@ZeekEOSZ looks amazing even on youtube...gongrats.
I fell on your video because I was looking for some wider and faster lens than those FD and I saw those 7arstisans, pergear and other chinese heap lenses that can do that. I was wondering what the difference in qualities they have compared to those more expensive at the time glass...What I find is they re close enough with maybe better flaring and maybe a bit warmer color on the FD while being softer when fully open..?
@@BobCorey Canon FD have really nice flares, very natural colours which I like.
7Artisans are great, they're more like a modern rendition of these in my opinion.
do i get the basic nikon to canon eos adapter if i’m getting the nikkor 50mm f2 ai ?
Yes if you are attaching it to a Canon EF to Fuji X Adapter or Speedbooster.
is this the name of the lens adapter ? Lens Adapter Focusing Infinity Focal Reducer Speed Booster with Optical Glass for Canon FD Lens to EOS M M50 M6 M5 M10 M3 M2 Adapter Ring
Great job
Cheers! 👍
Hey, I just got the 7artisans 12mm 2.8 and I can't record with ML. I have the "Release shutter without card" ON. Is there some setting in the ML itself I need to turn on?
ML has nothing to do with it. It should work. When you press record it should just go considering release without shutter is enabled.
I found it! It was deep in custom functions. I was freaking out thinking I couldn't use my new lens. Have you got the ND adapter for that lens?
Great! I do have the ND Adapter

Sup Zeek, Look at me here again! Zeek how do you achieve so much sharpness in your images? i have an m50 and my images are never clear ever! Can you explain me ? thank you
Hey! Which image are you referring to in particular? I sometimes add sharpness in FCPX, about 1.4 to 2 depending on the scenes that require it.
Same for me 🤔I think it's the lens
Lens are sharp! 📌🎥
right, but I use Canon lenses like 24mm 2.8 and I still can't get that quality

@@ZeekEOSZ Thanks you!
Great info.. TY
the best ever👍
but so when you shoot with this lens and with the crop factor it's like a 50 mm? are you shooting it in 4k with the m50?
I used the EOS M Original with ML RAW. It has a 1.6x crop in 1080 or 3.2x crop in 2.5K RAW. This video was shot on the M50.

@@balisbestNo worries!
Funny thing actually I'm going to be comparing these two cameras in the next video 😆
@@ZeekEOSZ ah Great yeah because i was waiting for this video. I shoot all me work with the M50 in 1080p 60 fps and been thinking going with the eos m and ML but i still have my doubts. With the extra workflow and bigger file all if that and the lack of autofocus. I saw that there is someone working on a ML for the canon RP that would be something. But its great content anyway. I think i seen all your vids on the eos m 😂
I got a question on m50. When i shoot 4K the video looks choppy. Video setting 4K 24fps, shutter speed 1/50. Do you have the same issue?
Don't have that issue. Try shooting with 1/40 and see if there is a noticeable difference. What lens are you using? I tend to keep away from the kit lens.
Zeek I’ll try that. I tried different lenses. Yesterday I tried 4K using Sigma 18-35
Ah right, also maybe try going into the menu and reset all settings to see if you have accidentally changed something.
Zeek I just did a quick test with 1/40 it looked better. Thanks 🙏🏻
No problem. 👍
How to make camera stablization？

Hi Zeek I have a question: How do you get the 5D mark ii footage look so sharp? Because with my footage it looks unsharp and when I sharpen it in the MLV app it looks way to digital or should I do this. Does it look then better on YT? Or is there a specific setting that I have to enable? Bdw I use your 5D mark ii ML build. Here is my footage : ruclips.net/video/VlEc4Bkc_Yg/видео.html and you can see there it is unsharper than your footage and I copied every setting that you had.
