bought viltrox 23mm for m50mark2.. the lens will not stop autofocusing, including on manual. also the autofocusing prevents to camera from shooting video. any help please ?

After getting the issue squared away, be sure to tell us how you like the combo. There aren’t many folks here who have either!

I owned the viltrox 23mm and m50 then changed to m50mk2 and bought again the efm22mm due to size and LR Mobile incompatibility issues.

The viltrox has a bit better background blur and edge to edge sharpness but heavy CA. Their website offers downloadable lens correction data but it works only with desktop LR and not with Mobile therefore I cannot correct CA, vignetting and disortion.

Also nothing beats the efm22mm in size and weight, so that is my general walkaround but still have the 23mm and I am waiting for LR or DPP update with lens correction.

Many thanks for the great info! Yeah, the little 22 is very handy!

I've been hoping for an EF-M lens in the 24mm range that can do basketball. Still looking.

24mm ff or aps-c range? Sigma 16mm is about 25.6mm and I read many good reviews. I have just the 56mm but that is my most used and beloved gear.

Hi.  Thanks Atilla'

24mm actual (~ 35-38mm equiv).

Thanks for the Sigma 16 suggestion.  I've got that one and it is indeed an incredible lens.  My favorite "group" event lens.  Plus at f/1.4 it can be really faaast if you need it.  Highly recommended! 

Also agree that the Sigma 56 is just excellent.  Love it Love it Love it.

Happy shooting!
