I have always loved photography and regularly used my phone as a primary camera. As a kid I owned several film cameras, like the Kodak Ektra 200, and I occasionally took photos as a hobby.

Years went by and I never owned a proper camera as I got older, until last year when I decided to get my first camera. I wanted something that was not expensive. And since I’m not a professional and don’t make any money from this, I looked to get something cheap, portable, and with a quick learning curve. So, after some research on Youtube and Reddit, I went with the Canon EOS M50. It came with an EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM kit lens.
I eventually got a few other lenses:
My current lenses:
- Canon Lens EF-M 32mm F1.4 STM- My favorite lens for portraits and sometimes street photography
- Canon EF-M 22mm 1:2 STM- My main lens for street, architecture photography etc.
- Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM- Non EFM lens, so I use an EF to EF-M converter with it.
Previously owned (Sold):
- EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM- Kit lens that came with my camera.
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM- Cheap pancake lens for portraits. I replaced it with the native EF-M 32mm F1.4
Complete setup:
I mainly use the setup for street photography, portraits, home videos with family, and ocassional Youtube videos. And even though I have this setup, I still use my phone camera (Which is also pretty good) a lot.. especially when I’m not with my camera.
Here are some sample photos with info about the lens that I used:
