Re: M100 to M50? Worth upgrade?

As there is no flash socket on the M 100 and the in body flash of this camera is weak and gives a harsh light it is better to make the change.

I gave up shooting my family indoor without flash a long time ago. I`m using a efx 270 on my M6 either with a diffusor or bouncing the flash up to the ceiling. The 32mm won`t help you for closer distance because at 1.4 you might not get enough depth of field.

Just look at the attached image: even on f4 there is not enough DOF to get both kids and the dogs in proper focus.

Try to get a good balance between ambient light and flash.

M6 + 32mm f1.4
