I'm planning to buy a Canon EF 70 - 200 mm f/2.8L USM Lens for my Canon M50.

Will Canon EF 70 - 200 mm f/2.8L USM Lens (Black & White) lens fit in Canon M50 , If we put full frame lenses on APS-C, sensor camera will it be far away than a full frame?

Please tell me will this lens suit the camera and will this give better results ?

You will need an EF to M adapter to fit it. It is a very good lens and will work fine on the M50. However, it is very big and heavy compared to native M lenses. Because of the crop factor it will behave like a 112 - 320 mm lens on full frame.

A better balanced option is the EF 70-200 f4 lens. I have the Mk I version with IS (Image Stabilization) and it works well. Much smaller and lighter than the f2.8 version but still I feel it is too big on an M camera.

Will it give better results? It depends on what do you use now and what are you after. Both are really very good lenses. Whenever I do not like the results I get I know it is not the lens's fault.
