Compatible Lenses are expensive. Had to buy adapter for using other canon lenses

Bought for my Canon G1X II because someone reviewed it and said it would fit. It does not even come close to fitting. I'll keep this for my pre-ordered Sony RX100 III instead. The G1XII was too bulky for me anyways so I'll get rid of that once I have my RX100III.The case does seem nicely constructed and well padded. Definitely high quality and nice for the price!

It's nice to be able to use my other canon lenses on my Canon m200

Hey, I'm PercyI'm a YouTuber (Gogglez Enraged) that does reviews, tips, recommendations, and top gears to get.Build quality of the 50 f/1.8 is very cheap (as you might expect). This lens feels more like a toy than a piece of optics. It utilizes plastic construction right down to the lens mount (the lenses are glass of course). This light material combined with the small size (2.7" x 1.6"/68.2mm x 41.0mm - WxL) puts this lens in the featherweight class - 4.6 oz (130g). The 50 f/1.8 is currently Canon's lightest. It was also Canon's shortest EOS-mount lens until the Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Lens was introduced. The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens delivers very sharp images as inexpensively as Canon lenses get.The 50 f/1./8 bears a plastic lens mount. Considering how light the 50 f/1.8 II lens is, the plastic lens mount seems adequate from a strength perspective. You might get more wear than you wish if you are changing the lens frequently.Autofocus is driven by a micro motor. Focus speed is not stellar, but fine in good light with subjects that are not moving too quickly. The 50 f/1.8 II is one of Canon's louder/buzzier lenses - you know when it is focusing. But this is not a wildlife lens - and the noise probably won't bother most people. I suppose a positive aspect of the sound is that you know when it is working - and when it is finished working - when focus is locked. FTM (Full Time Manual) focusing is not included. The 50 f/1.8 extends up to 5/16" during focusing - the very small 52mm filter does not rotate.All in all, I truly enjoy using this lens for my B-roll for my Youtube channel and the webpage. As well as having those awesome blur shot background. i highly recommend purchase this lens cause its inexpensive and a good lens to have around because of its size and the picture quality.

So good I bought 3 of them for my cameras. One I have adapted to fit Canon 7D attached to Sigma 50-500mm lens and it all fits great.

I own many Canon lenses, most of them L. I have used many more. This is the best Canon lens I have used so far. I owned the old 35L and I see many improvements.The lens is amazingly sharp across the whole frame wide open. Not much different than my best lenses at their best apertures. The contrast is top notch. Purple fringing and LoCa are gone. I have seen tests which would push the lens hard to get some traces of them but I have never seen them in my shots. The bokeh is much improved over the 35L which had the tendency to create ugly double line bokeh sometimes. The AF is perfect, no MA, but then my 35L focused very accurately as well. Flare resistance is excellent.I wish I could say something critical about it as well. Oh, it is a bit larger than I would expect a 35mm to be. But it is worth every inch.

When I read the news of Canon releasing a new Mark II version of this lens the first thought that came to my mind was why? Has Canon lost its mind? Why would you mess around with a lens that has become a staple of nearly every professional Canon user in the world? Since this lens was released in September of 2001 it has earned a reputation as being one of the most rugged and sharpest lenses of its kind. Professional photographer and photo equipment reviewer Ken Rockwell, for example, borrowed this lens from a friend to test who had dropped it off an elephant to the cobblestones nine feet below while shooting in India. Even with that event in its history Ken gave it a stunningly positive review! Many of the most famous photos taken in the last nine years were taken with this lens, including many of the photos that appear in Canon's own sales brochures. In the lens life cycle, if such a thing exists, this lens is hardly an old timer at nine years old. With its proven powerful robust image stabilizer, legendarily sharpness, and tank-like build, one cannot help wonder what the motivation for fixing something that's not broke is. I think the real motivation was keeping "pace" with Nikon and raising prices.Canon is seen more and more as falling behind its nemesis Nikon. With the recent release of Nikon's VR II vibration reduction which supposedly can work up to four stops, Canon had to fire back with a "new" version of the image stabilizer on its own lenses. Thus IS II was born. Needless to say, the new Nikon 70-200 lens retails for over (...) on Amazon as opposed to this "old" Canon lens which sells for about (...). It's expected that new Canon 70-200 2.8L IS II will retail for at least (...) if not more. Is the new lens really worth (...) more than the old lens still being sold? I own this "old" model now for about six months and the only way I can see improvement is if somehow Canon could recreate this same lens, ruggedness and all, at half the weight. Now that would be something worth paying (...) or more for! In reality, the new model will actually weigh 20 grams more than the "old" model. So much for progress!I have shot indoor and outdoor shots both hand held and with my Bogen automatic mono-pod with this lens. In both cases the results have been nothing short of amazing. Clear sharp images almost every time with magnificent color and superb brokeh (blur quality). The image stabilization is first rate and runs hard and strong. Don't be fooled into saving money buying the other versions of this lens. If you ever expect to be free from using a flash and get great results in reasonable natural lighting, this is the lens to buy. If you can't afford to buy this lens then save up for it. If you compromise you may be sorry later.I believe that any changes Canon has made to the new lens will largely be undetectable by professional and amateur photographers alike. The only exception to this is the added weight, increased price, and the very slight ability of the new model to focus closer (about 8"). It's also hard to see how the current powerful image stabilization could be made much better. At some point it all becomes a matter of subject movement and no stabilization system can deal with that other than using higher shutter speeds. That said, the more important question to ask is whether Canon produced a "better" lens at all? Currently we have no test reviews to look at and it is entirely possible that the new lens may actually under perform this "old model". We just don't know at the moment. For my money I would grab this "old" model while you can. Not only is there hardly any risk, but in all likely-hood the after market value of this lens may soon rise.MY UPDATED COMMENTS: Despite some new positive reviews on the new lens, I still doubt that most will notice much of a difference between the new and the old lenses unless they really blow up the image. The old lens produced images that graced some of the top publications worldwide for the last 10 years with nothing but praise. Canon has effectively fooled you all to push though a huge price increase never before seen for an upgrade of the same type lens. It seems the consumer is once again the victim and they don't even realize it!

I got a high focus lens on another site and it adapted perfectly yo my Canon M50 with this piece.
