"Spectra Coating is a unique
single-layer coating developed by
Canon" from the EDIT: brochure (not manual)
of the Canon EF (camera).

So S.C. is single coating - while S.S.C. is a...

Good question, a partial answer because I do not have used the Mitakon:
The FD 2.5 135 S.C. was great with B/W and 25 ASA high resolving film just wide open. Using it with an APS-C sensor shows...

I do NOT own the RF 28-70 but the same here - I do not work out and I have a light built but handling ~2kg of camera/lens isn't that problematic!

For other situations there is the RF 35...

@Passereau
Yes, a zoom is very versatile but f/1.4 and 1:4 max. reproduction ratio (resulting in an image field of roughly 60 x 90 mm) give me some close-up/macro capabilities with blurred...

My most used kit: M50 + EF-M 32 1.4 ( So Ted Forbes' dream kit downsized)

==

My two-body dream kit at the moment:
R5 + RF 35 1.8
R5 + RF 100 macro
And for special "effects" my old trusted...

The successor of this camera - the 4 MPix G2 - brought me back to photography. It was delivered WITH a memory card of 32 ... 32 Megabytes ! Holding one RAW file of the M50 if the subject isn't too...

Yes M50 makes taking photos very simple and I like that thing with the brilliant EF-M 32 1.4 !
Very good FullHD footage too if you use Technicolor profile and 180 degree shutter angle +...

@TORN
I bought an RP with adapter + RF 35 1.8 for just over 1000 EUR - I will stay with that stuff.
If you use only EF glass, the adapter stays on the camera so no hassle. If you have 3 RF lenses...

While I came from 3-way heads to a hydrostatic ball head of very high quality I will use a video head most of the time from now on for outdoor use. As hybrid shooter ... I bought the head primarily...

@Moon Madness
VU meter stands for Volume Unit meter hence it includes analog ones, LED bars and virtual instruments on a computer.
M50 has it but only as a special screen BEFORE recording, M50 mark...

While the moon is closer to earth, mars seems to be the more interesting celestial body with its weather!

They are "neogreen", because they are powered by nuclear energy (radioisotope batteries)!

mark ii has VU meters, eye AF, clean HDMI out ...

@Newbie4Life
Why no EF-M 32mm lens shots was my first thoughts.

I really love that lens for its flexibility. Good focal length, bright aperture, good close focus distance with ca. 70x100mm image...

@Mark3794
If "performance" is IQ, I think so,
if performance is usability for video I think the M50 ii might be better: VU meters during video, eye AF, clean hdmi output might be a decision factor

@Jim Hully:
I agree with your remark about the "real bargain" ... if you work on a tripod or in good light and I am glad that I bought the non-IS USM EF-version 10 years ago in fear that the IS...

@DuXX:
factoring in an additional 50mm extension ring sizewise, weightwise and "fiddeling-price"-wise makes it not so bad with 1.4 : 1 maximum magnification compared to the old...

I think that a hypothetical f/1.4 lens has only half the mass regarding the optics. (1.2/1.4)**3 times volume = mass plus less efforts for corrections.
But you, Elisam, are right that it would help...

@RolliPoli
Some made similar remarks: Is a company healthy to support my lenses with future bodies? I do not want to change systems often, maybe I will use my EF lenses for the next 10, 20 years if...
