Today we're taking a look at this 100 to 300 millimeter f/4.5 to 5.6 EF lens on EF-M
cameras. So that means the M50 in the M5. Wanted another ranged lens. I had to
sell the longer-range EF-M lens that I had because it came with a kit, the M100.
Picked something else up. Tried to find something as cheap as possible as usual.
I did use the EF 75 to 300 millimeter, I think it was the version III. The standard
lower end kit lens. It's pretty decent. I just didn't like how the focus ring
would move when your auto focusing. So I did try this one instead. So far... We're
gonna get to all the results. I took it out four times or so. I'm gonna try to do
some bird photos, so let's start with that.
Of course, there are no birds around. They're probably all down there. I moved to
a different area that doesn't have gates. So I won't get locked in at least!
With lenses like this I actually prefer to use them with the speed booster when
I can, because it tends to make the results slightly better. It's taking that
full frame with image at least a percentage of it and putting it in the
aps-c format. I have a lot of challenges right now with the time of year. It's
pretty dark pretty quick. And I only have a small window usually to take photos. So
ISOs were higher than I would like...
There are no birds, but actually some of the views here are really nice, even with
the telephoto. Do some landscape telephoto just I'll stuff, that works nicely.
Build quality is definitely a lot better than that other EF lens I tried,
the 75 to 300. And when you focus you don't have any weird movement. The actual
focus ring is in the back, which is nice. There's a little window you can see
where the distance scale is. Also, AF/MF switch
and the large zoom ring on the front...
With the results it could always be this specific lens has some type of issue, but
really depends. Ehh, sample variation and also just an old used lens is something
to keep in mind with the results. Alright, we're trying day number four with this lens...
Had a few minutes of light, but now it's getting dark already.
With something like this I don't know if it's really better to use faster shutter
speeds or lower ISO. It's ah.. really a toss-up even with the speed booster.
Need more light!
My low-cost telephoto zoom quest is not over. I'm not super thrilled with the
results so far. However, we're gonna keep trying it out. Keep using it and see if I
get better results depending on the conditions depending on buy skills and
what I wanna do to try to improve things what this lens. Especially ranged,
I'm not super thrilled with those results. Of course, it depends on what you
want to use the lens like this for. I would actually want even more range so
I'm going to look potentially at those 400 milliliters, but those are quite a
bit more expensive. Even the lower-end cheaper ones...
Especially the telephoto range you want to have those smaller apertures to try
to improve on image quality, but the challenge comes with shutter speeds.
The conditions if it's super bright out you'll probably have nice results.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed this video on this 100 to 300 millimeter lens on EF-M
cameras. Thanks again!
Three (gibberish)...
I don't it want it to continuously autofocus unless I'm halfing...
Half pressing the shutter.
Halfing the shutter. Ehhhhhh!
