My setup : M100 / Fotodiox Pro mount adapter / EF 50mm / 2x L-bracket as a simple grip.

This is my first AF lens upgrade (50mm) from the kit lens 15-45. I also took a backup M2 with kit lens 15-45 for some wide angle shots.

Being so used to 15-45, I do have to stand back a bit with the 50mm.

Overall, I'm happy and learn a few things with this setup. However, I felt the AF is slower compared to the kit 15-45.

Also, this is the first time I've use the continuous shooting on moving subjects (was switching between single and continuous) - and found that many shots were blurry using continuous mode. I used Movie auto exposure mode all the time as I shoot a mix of photos and videos.

Question : do you switch away from movie mode while taking photos ?

I did not try Manual mode yet (for aperture setting), just to get a feel of this setting first.

The L bracket was mounted on the mount adapter with an added benefit to access the battery compartment easily.

Happy that you're enjoying your setup Albert. Keep shooting and don't forget to share your images.
