Concerned M50 Owner - Beginner with Questions About Lenses
1

I recently acquired an M50 body. I am stuck with lens selection.

I'm looking at EF-M lenses, but am concerned about EF and EF-S glass.

  • First, EF and EF-S glass are compatible through the adapter.
  • Second, EF and EF-S seem "future proof." I've heard the M line might be phased out. I want to have the ability to upgrade easily and keep my old glass.
  • Third, there are many cheap, used options for EF and EF-S glass.

Why not just stick with EF and EF-S glass? Except for the EF-M 22mm f/2 STM for portability and travel photography.

On another note, for beginners, do you recommend learning on prime or zoom lenses? Do you recommend purchasing a few lenses, or practicing on one exclusively for a month before adding to the collection?

Thank you all for your advice!
