    hello ,

    just took up photography again, used to play with it in the past. Just got a EOS M50 and love Wildlife. got some random used lens off Ebay. looking into some 300 to 800mm EF lens, need to grab a adapter.

    still messing around to find a good Photo edit/tweak software.

    think cam takes 16:9 .. need to change that.

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    Nothing wrong with looking for some long lenses, just be warned, they are not cheap.

    With the 16:9 ratio, its down to you. What ratio do you like?

    A 55-200 sounds like a good path to dip your toe into the telephoto type of lens.

    As another suggestion, have a look at RawTherapee.

    Another free piece of software.
