    Photospecialist is legit shop. Based in Netherlands.

    Make sure to ask for UK/IE plug adapter. They sell EU stock so my charger had regular EU plug.

    Other than that no issues. Fully tracked delivery etc.

    You could pick one up secondhand on adverts if you didn’t want new.

    These will have dropped in prices as the M50 mark 2 has been announced.

    I am debating for the last 24 hours what to get.. I have settled on the M50 but..

    I found 2 bargains - one is body only for € 488 incl shipping, the other is a set for €720 : body, 15-45mm lens, 50 mm lens and the EF-EOS M adapter.

    If I would want lenses in the set and the adapter, sure I would buy the set. But I am not sure whether I want the 15-45mm , would I be better off buying the camera and some lenses on ebay ?
    For now I intend to use for pictures for a recipe page and for youtube videos (mostly indoor). I can imagine I will take the camera on holidays, and typically make a lot of pictures of landscapes, architecture and wild life, and of course the family :)

    Any opinions ? Would like to pull trigger today so I can get myself a nice Xmas present.

    I have the M3 and the M5.
    I would personally buy it, body only.
    I like the Viltrox speed booster adapter EOS-M2 that allows me to use EF lenses and getting a closer angle view as a full frame camera and 1 step brighter F stop.

    Thanks..
    For the purposes described above in my post , what kind of lenses would you then get rather than the ones in the set I described ?

    In mean time I did the (way too) sensible thing and not succumb to self-inflicted pressure to buy. I have an old Nex F3 lying around that will do the trick of making the food pictures I am sure. Useless for youtube videos though ( lack of standard external mic support and needs too much light for video)

    Also keeping an eye out on ebay

    Between all the native lenses EFM mount that I own, there's only one I'll always intend to keep, the 22mm f2.
    I have the 18-50mm and the 15-45mm along with the 22mm F2.

    Keep in mind on a crop sensors a native 22mm will give a almost 35mm full frame.

    That's why the speed booster it comes up really handy for me.
