    I was in Mounument Valley couple weeks ago. both iPhone 12 and M50 were used. disregard the resolution and no pixel peeping and no post processing. The following is what I have found: 1. Panaromic : iPhone wins hands down 2. Extreme contrast, like taking Silhouette picture of the rock formation...

    15-45mm EF_M kit lens V.S. 22mm EF_M

    I read a few post about how good the 22mm is and 15-45mm kit lens is so so. I decided to do a A-B comparision with my own lenses. The attached two croped pictures are at pixel level, taken with flash at 1/200 to minize hand-shaking. 22mm is at f4 and the kit lens is also at about 22mm at f 8. (...

    What resolution can we get when 35 mm film is developed and scanned by a professional lab?

    When resolution can we get when 35mm (24X36 mm) is developed and scanned by a professional lab? Some where I read that 35 mm Kodachrome can have up to 20 Mp resolution under ideal condition. Can anyone confirm or dispute it? Any input will be appreciated.

    M50 and 15-45 mm in the rain

    I was in a well known scenic area for 3 rainy days. Due to the rain and even occasional snow, I dare not to change lenses. So I am stuck with the 15-45 lens with the lens hood on. The only protection is to tuck the camera under my poncho and wipe off the water from both the lens and camera...

    IS mess up the edge sharpness of EF-M 11-22 on M50

    I just notice that the edge sharpness of my 11-22mm on my M50 is not good. After investigation, I found out that is caused by the IS function of the lens. I tried the lens on my M2. It has the same problem. Due to the lower resolution of the M2, the problem is not that obvious. Has anyone seen...

    M50, Exposure meter does not seem to tie into the focal point.

    I just found out that exposure measurement does not tie to the focal point. In the same scenery, I can set the focal point to bright, or dark area, the exposure still come up the same. The dark is still dark , the bright is still bright, under both cases. That is true for P, Tv and Av. Is there...

    Travel with 28-135 EF and M50

    I know this is "odd". I did it just for the fun of it. I am not a big fan of telephoto lenses. Pro: focus almost as fast as other EF-M. resolution is about (or just s touch below)the 18-55 EF-M. The M50 will choose the minimum speed based on focal length. Con: Heavy. Contrast is below the...

    EOS M50 Help Manual

    I was looking at the official EOS M50 Manual on the USA Canon website. It seems pretty useless . I found a EOS M50 Help Manual in the Hong Kong Canon website. http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/contents/HK/EN/0302980801.html It is a lot more useful. If anybody has found a better manual for EOS...

    Hop-On Hop off Bus, M and Adapter

    I was on the Hop-on Hop-off bus in Europe for a few dates. This is an eye-opener. The Slow AF of the M makes it become useless. A good MF lens will be a good solution assuming the adapter is in "perfect" registration for the extension. After getting home I try my old Summicron 2/35 (56 mm in 35...

    Lens Caps and Lens Caps for EF-M lenses

    All my lens caps for my EF-M lenses (18-55mm, 11-22mm and 22mm) have a tendency to fall off from the lens or from my hand easily. I cannot even recall how many times that I have to pick them up from the ground. My new way to combat the problem is to use lens hood on all three lenses and not even...

    Rokinon 12/2.0 or 11-22mm zoom?

    I am doing a "field test" in Turkey. I have the both the 22/2.0 and the 18-55mm zoom, along with 90/4.0 Elma and 35/2.0 Summicron. I found out that the 18mm end of the 18-55 zoom seems to be quite a bit narrower than the 17mm end of my 17-40mm with my old 40D. Now I realize that I need...

    A quick and un-orthodox user impression (review) on the EOS M

    I finally got my M upon good advices from the members of this forum. Thanks. There are many excellent review on the M. Therefore I am trying not to repeat what has been done. 1. AF speed: This is the weak point for a few people. Coming from 40D and 20D. It is good enough for me even with the...
