Hey there,

I have a Canon M50 with a EF lens adapter. At the moment I also have the 15-45 EF-M and a 55-250 EF-S lens. In a few weeks I am about to make a video in which it would be quite convenient to not be having to swap between lenses all the time, so I want to know what you think the best wide range zoom lens (mirrorless or DSLR) you can get for Canon? I live in Australia as well. I don't have a large budget also...

Thanks in advance,

Joe

I have not owned either but from I have read a a recent 18-135mm is going to be a fair bit better IQ than a 18-200mm.

Why don't you look at a EF-M 18-150mm ? I have one for my M5, and find it is surprisingly good for a relatively cheap almost superzoom. And, of course, it is a lot smaller and lighter than an adapted 18-135mm.
