    Good video as usual, you covered a lot here. It is a nice lens overall. I've been using the 32mm since the first day of release in the USA. I'm not super thrilled with how the AF is set-up in this 32mm and the 22mm, but they work well enough. At first I was confused why they designed this lens to focus so close for its focal length, but in practice it is really useful. Thankfully it has the limiter switch! That makes the price a litter easier to swallow. The 32mm and the 22mm help out with making the M50 and M100 I use serviceable for more situations without adapting anything.

    • @cameralabs
      @cameralabs  5 лет назад +1

      Gordon Laing i got my M50 in May, and have taken less than 50 shots with my 5D4 since. I was lucky i had a few good L lenses and never intended to get any M lenses, but when the 32mm came along I couldn’t resist. Normally I’d use my 5D4 a lot during our winter months, better ISO and better lenses etc, but the 32mm f/1.4 is so sharp ive managed to keep using my M50 though this time

    Finally! (unfortunately, I am no longer faithful :[]
    I used to use the 22mm prime bcuz it meant the camera actually fit in my pocket. Not the sharpest lens tho. It is "water-proof," according to my tests, using it in the rain; I went inside when the touch screen was too wet to function.
    The M50 is so affordable now; with this lens, it's a perfect combination for "camera-always-with-you-photography."

    Hi Gordon. Love your detailed videos and find them really informative. I am planning to buy a 50 mm effective focal length lens. I am confused between the sigma 30 1.4 canon mount and this canon 32 mm 1.4. Which one do you recommend? Is it worth paying the extra 180 dollars for the canon efm lens ?

  • @messylaura
    @messylaura 4 года назад

    i have the 15-45 and to be honest i prefer the depth of field at 32on the kit, 1.4 is too fine, with the example at 2:45 i liked the fact all of you is in focus, rather than the 32 prime with your shoulders out of focus,
    one of the reasons i won't be getting any more M mounts for my M50 is the lack of M mount x2 converters and tubes.
    since i got the sigma 100-400 for the M50 and now have 2 2x verters and several tubes (at 100mm the siggy does 5mm macro! 1:4.4) i'll stick to finding ef glass.
    i still use the m mount lenses alot for compact when i just have a shoulder bag, i use the 22mm pancake as a body blank so i always reay to shoot from stowed away.
    if you know of any 2x teleconverters m mount to m mount i'd be very interested

      Light weight: canon32mm
      Low Price: sigma 30mm
      Fast: sigma 30mm
      Quality: both

    • @bh69videa
      @bh69videa 5 лет назад

      15-17mm would be great - narrow angle is simple to simulate by crop (with 24Mpx and sharp lense no problem) so wide lens would be way more usefull as universal walkaround/street lens than 35 (22) or 50 (32) eq. lenses. And I miss longer portrait and macro lens for M (at least 60, better 85-100/2.8 - but it would be the probably similar to EF lenses, no advantage in size/weight so there is no reason to make it for EF-M).

    You should really try the focal reducer Viltrox EF-EOS M2 which I use for photography, it works pretty well with any EF lens other than the super wide angle lenses (after having turned the glass bits because the QC on the adapter is bad and out of the box I couldn't focus to infinity). The results are pretty good with my 50mm 1.4, my 24-70 f/2.8 (I) L lens and my 85 1.8 ... And gaining one stop is pretty cool, the 50mm 1.4 becomes a 55mm f/1! Also, because you are adopting Canon on Canon and the adapter doesn't need a chip to translate the data exchanged between the lens and the camera body, you get full speed AF and no compatibility issue.
    Lastly every EF lens you own becomes two lenses as they can be adapted with focal reducer or with the lens adapter with crop which allows for a pretty light camera bag.

      @@fach9913 well it is not neutral but the effect can be unnoticeable or catastrophic, it depends on the lens. With my wide angles 17mm and 20mm (full frame) it doesn't work . With my 50mm, 85mm it works very well, seems to work ok with my 24-70L but not tested thoroughly and I haven't tested with my long tele lens just because too big to walk around with such a small camera attached. In summary, not perfect (don't think it could be) but so so so worth the money. Apparently Canon is about to make one but not sure they can do much better and it will be much more expensive ... Wait and see.

    This is a good lens, and I've been so tempted to buy it However!… not too impressed with the focus speed, the price made me hesitate, and as a multiplemediamanager, i.e video as well as photography, the IS is important.
    I use to own the Canon EF 35mm f2.0 USM IS, and it was brilliant. I sold it to get the EF 35mm f1.4L, to use for photography a few years back when I was building my holy trinity of L's. I remember though, that 35mm 2.0 lens was clean, quick, and quite light. Given the choice between getting the EFM 32, and rebuying the EF 35 IS, I think I would rather go for the one with IS. Plus as an EF lens, I can still use it with my other Cameras 5D, 6D, 7D…
    Good review, but in short, it's too expensive, and not quick enough in my opinion.

      Taking portraits indoors on a 50mm gives such a shallow DOF that I need to narrow the aperture so much to get someone's entire head in focus that the low light performance of the 50mm f/1.8 suffers. Here's hoping the 32mm balances variables better for my use case.

      If your budget is that high, dont get the eos m50. Get a full frame camera instead and start off with the kit lens and a 50mm 1.8 lens. Then use the spare cash on tripods, batteries, SD cards and other accessories :)

    Nice review, although as you were spouting out those various lenses and their specs and prices, I have to say, I got lost early on. Canon has been slow to the market with wide aperture lenses, favoring narrow apertures, like a 24-70 L lens with f4? WHAT ??? That's crazy. If one is going to spend that kind of money, they should have wide options. I've never used anything but Canon lenses and Canon cameras even wore a Canon hat, missing options for wider apertures in affordable options, I purchased a Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 and WOW what an amazing positive experience.

    This was a very good review I have ti say!
    You included IQ and build quality and you just made me think about buying it.. It is funny though because except for the old and good EOS M Ihave the new R so I am not sure if I shoukd go with the RF 35 1.8 or this 32 lens fir the EOS M?
    I know I can get better pics with the R and RF but the M is so much smaller and lighter so I can carry it literally anywhere.
    What do you think? What would you do?

    • @cameralabs
      @cameralabs  5 лет назад +1

      Well, remember 32mm on the EOS M will become closer to 50mm, so it depends if you'd prefer a 35 or a 50. If I had an EOS R though, I'd get the RF 35mm f1.8, I'm very fond of that lens.

    • @cameralabs
      @cameralabs  5 лет назад +2

      That's the big question. They deliberately intro'd this lens on the day of the EOS R launch to show they were still committed to / supporting EOS M. But even if they proceed at the same pace they have to date, I wouldn't expect more than one EF-M lens a year if at all. And if they slow down, then there'll be even less. It's a real shame EOS R isn't compatible in the same way Sony's e-mount is. But we can only speculate. Put it this way, I think there WILL be more EOS M products, but I wouldn't buy into it counting on a particular new lens to arrive.

    Hello Gordon. May I "bother" you with a question - maybe you have experience with it? I bought a used Canon EF-M 11-22mm lens from eBay classifieds. Now is problematic: What about lamellas whose alloy is partially like "chipped off" and seem eaten up? Can that be damage from a fall or impact - with otherwise normal and inconspicuous image quality? The slats are not oily. Not a fungus.
    Remote diagnosis is of course difficult.
    Viewed with a magnifying glass: Some of the lamellas seem to have slipped and the alloy seems to have been pitted. Some of them are not smooth at the edge but rather deformed and frayed. These look rusty. Water damage?
    The problem is that the seller is from Italy and does not show any reaction to my inquiries.
