I use the EF 50mm f/1.8 on my M50 and find it to be fantastic.

Cute bunny too.

Ditto.

Turn the screen around so it's facing the camera and close it.

Here are a few SOOC jpegs. M50+EF 50mm f1.8 is a great combo. Nice colors, detail, and subject isolation when wanted. These look even better full-size.

If you are referring to the EF-S 55-250mm, I have that lens also, but don't usually take it when traveling, since I so rarely need telephoto. I have lots of great shots using it on with my T1i ...

The M50 and the EF 50mm f1.8 is a GREAT combo. A little tight for a walk-around setup, but super sharp, great colors, and really nice subject isolation. My trip-kit currently consists of the M50, ...

On the other hand, it would be a good lens for vlogging and 4K video b-roll footage.

Sounds like you found what works for you, and that's all that matters. Too many people on these forums think a good photo consists of perfect focus, high dynamic range, good high ISO, etc... nope. ...

If you're not *only* looking at Canon DSLRs, definitely check out the Canon M50 (mirrorless) camera. It's a new(er) model and can use all Canon lenses (EF and EF-S via small adapter).

Lots of good suggestions here - I think I looked at everything listed in this thread before going with the Domke F-5XB: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B002BH3XXQ/ref=twister_B004ZW0S4C?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

For me it's the EF-M 11-22mm, followed by the EF 50mm f1.8 (with adapter, obviously). The EF-M 11-22mm is a fantastic daytime walk-around lens, and the EF 50mm is great day or night, for closer-up ...

See, this is the problem with adapters. Just makes it so bulky and unwieldy. 😜

By the way... 2 months!? You should definitely do the Oregon coast, Avenue of the Giants, Calistoga and Napa (and a couple/few wine tours), and lots of mountain/central valley roads/highways. 👍

I bought the M50, couple extra batteries, EF adapter, and the EF-M 11-22 right before our west coast trip this summer. We flew into Seattle and drove down to San Francisco, through the mountains ...

Not quite... Amazon U.S. prices as of this posting: SL2 with 18-55 lens: $649 M50 with 15-45 lens: $699
