I have a canon m50 mark ii, super newbie at photography.
I'm looking at 3-4 macro lenses and they all for a canon ef mount but not sure if that will fit my m50.
Which should I pick:

Irix 150mm f/2.8 Macro for Canon EF
Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2:1 Ultra Macro APO Lens for Canon EF
Tokina atx-i 100mm f/2.8 FF Macro Lens for Canon EF

All of those will work but require the EF-M mount adapter.

Mount Adapter EF-EOS M|Canon Online Store

Expand your possibilities with the EF-EOS M mount adapter. This device makes it possible to mount a DSLR lens onto a mirrorless camera body, pairing both systems together.
shop.usa.canon.com shop.usa.canon.com

There are third-party versions available at substantially lower cost.

Canon also makes a native EF-M 28mm macro lens.

I have the Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 lens but I was looking for something that I can shoot from a little further away. Thank you for the info on the adapter. I'm new so trying to learn everything will take time but I am enjoying it.

Those are all large and don’t balance well on the M series. I tend to use the EF-S 60mm with the adapter. Decent working distance and it handles well.

There is also Laowa 65mm in EF-M mount but only manual focus.
I would prefer a lens with AF but it depends what subjects You likr to shot.

I just got my Laowa 65mm lens and fell in love already. I had to figure out first how to set m50 for a lens without aperture information. Right away I was taking some good pics for a novice such as myself. Thanks a bunch for this info.
