I owned this lens for about 3 years but sold it when I got the Tamron 18-400mm. I found the lens to be pretty good, it was a bit slow but then  again did not have a big footprint.  I generally shot wildlife or things that were a bit farther off like at a wedding.  I mostly shot wide open or close to it.

Hello, I'm new here. I've been reading this forum for a month. You helped me buy the M50. Thank you!

A few shots from my window the day before yesterday, right after unpacking. I do not know which is better:

And a brighter version:

And from another side. It is not spectacular, but you can see the details at a long distance:

This lens makes me lazy

Hi Svenek. Welcome to the forum and congrats with your new M50 !

Your first 3 photos are a bit dark. I like the 4th and 5th best. It seems to be a very nice place where you live.

Edit:

I just tried a quick edit (to my taste) on your first photo. I hope you don't mind. I like your photo (and place) a lot.

Hi MyM3. Thanks for suggestion and your quick work. Probably you are right. The brighter picture is more natural, but still bleak enough. Yes, definitively. I will keep your suggestion. These are my first weeks with M50 (+22mm) and with Canon DPP. I'm still learning. EF-M 55-200mm is the first tele zoom in my life. A dangerous toy. But it makes possible to take pictures from the car without a walk. Generally, I had a break in photography for over 15 years. Now I'm happy like a child

Can you write me how you edited this photo? Trying to get a similar effect. Please give me a quick lesson.

PS. I live in Scottish Borders. South Scotland. There is beautiful when there is no rain or wind.

I edited your jpeg in Lightroom CC Classic with the following values:

Exposure +0.25
Contrast -6
Highlights -100
Shadows +64
Whites +55
Blacks -28

Vibrance +13
Saturation +6

Sharpness +10

That's all. Hope it helps as a start.

Btw. I'm not saying that my edit is better. It was just a suggestion. I don't know the actual lightning and atmosphere at the time of shooting. I was not there. I think you should always follow your own taste when editing your photos.

I have seen many beautiful pictures from Scotland by some Flickr friends. It's a beautiful country. (...when the weather is fine, as you said.)
