New Lens

Looked at the available EF-M lenses to fit the Canon M5 and after reading reviews went for the EF-M 18-150mm. Here it is next to the Canon EF-S 17-85mm with adaptor which I used recently. Doesn't seem to be a lot of difference at first glance. The main one is the weight. The EF-S weighs in at 63g and the EF-M at 33g.

Also the weight balance is better when on the M5 body. The adaptor has no lenses in it so all the EF-S lens weight is moved further from the camera body. Much easier to handle the EF-M lens. In fact it felt very comfortable.

Within half an hour of it arriving we went on our usual mid afternoon walkabout.
The idea being to find a variety of subjects.
Nice and Sunny after a morning of heavy showers.

First a couple of 18mm / 150mm views

Seeing there were sheep about we wandered across for a closer look.

I though they would be ideal to try out the video. Wrong.
After looking us over they decided to move as far away as possible.

Oh well. There's always the Poplar trees ...

This crop looks about ready for harvesting.

Where do you park the heavy roller when not in use?
In the hedge of course.

The closest I could get to an Hibiscus flower.
A fairly good macro facility at 18mm.

All M5 photos taken in RAW, converted to virtually lossless jpgs.
No cropping or tweaking so this is how they came out of the camera.
Very pleased with everything so far.
There was a very strong, gusty wind blowing so some vegetation may be blurred.

  1. It looks to be doing a good job. If I have a camera disintegration I would be tempted.
