Ordered my M5 earlier from HDEW at £519 was going to order from E Global but the extra £40 I thought the 3 year warranty with HDEW was more than worth it.
I’ve been watching mob for EF-m lenses and never managed to see any.Just ordered a 22mm and 11-22mm from MPB for £218, has only just received new copies of each from Amazon that will shortly be on their way back. And to think I was a bit annoyed that hdew reduced their M5 price just after I bought one too, this more than makes up for that

Thanks, I hadn’t noticed they had their own category. That makes life easierThere's a 22mm on there now.
Did anyone get a hotshoe cover on their M5? Mine doesn’t have one but every photo I’ve seen shows it with one. Also mine came with a 100+ image count ...

Mine did as well.Yes mine came with a hotshoe cover.
I've ordered the meike one from amazon takes a few weeks from China but had good reports.Just a quick one, which is the third party EF to EFM adapter that is recommended? Could do with another for another lens, but would rather not splash out on an actual canon one.. few on Ebay for about £20 - are these sufficient?
cheers in advance!

Definitely Focus peaking on the M3.I thought I’d read there was no focus peaking on the M series, is that just the older ones?

Would be surprised if not on the M5. Will be in the manual anyway.
Any of you M users have an EF to EFM adapter they don't need? And would consider selling before i buy one online.
Thanks
I'll take it for £50 then
So as we don't break any rules i think you may have to actually make a thread selling it.

Did you want me to start a thread?

....At first I thought why buy one of those when excellent levellers are already onboard and can be displayed in the viewfinder or on Liveview. But then I thought that if needing to very quickly level a camera on a ballhead on a tripod, this would be easier to see than a bubble on an Arca-Swiss clamp (which my clamps have).
So thank you, Steve aka Huge Arse! I think I'll buy a couple. Do you have one fitted please and do they stay on securely?
That reminds me of something I have been meaning to ask
Do the newer versions of the M have a built in level displayed on the LCD, have not seen it mentioned in any reviews or specs that I have noticed anyway ?
I have not used it but yes
Shooting Menu, Tab 1: Shooting information display: Screen info/toggle settings: Update #1 to select only Grid display and Electronic level (all options selected for #2), uncheck #3 and #4 (I may alter these settings later)
I got one but it fell off found it but later it fell off againDid anyone get a hotshoe cover on their M5? Mine doesn’t have one but every photo I’ve seen shows it with one. Also mine came with a 100+ image count ...
Just taken delivery of an M5 & 15-45mm lens yesterday. Have ordered an adapter for my ef/efs lenses which should arrive in next few weeks.
I will probably be on here quite often now looking advice, but since the sensor is the same as that in the 80D (is it Digic7 also?) i will keep an eye on those threads also for any tips.
I have spent a while indoors just getting to know my way around it and i'm impressed so far. I am coming from a 60D which i had set up nicely for what i needed so will try and set the M5 up something similar.
A couple of issues i have found so far that you may be able to help with, and these are probably common on the M5 and M6:
1. How do i remove the Q icon from the LCD? Its a nuisance and i don't use it anyway.
2. On my 60D i had the set button set to Flash Exposure Compensation. I can't see any way of short cutting this on the M5?
3. Can i set a short cut button for the focus assist light? I would like to be able to trigger this myself if needed.
4. Why is there an on/of flash option when you can just leave permanently on and it only activates when the flash is opened?
Thanks
Cheers, will give that a go.I think you remove the Q by de-allocating everything in the Q menu setup page and it then disappears
Cheers, will give that a go.
