M50 lens issue

[Elwoodguy]

Hi there. I’m ina bit of a jam. Recently bought the Canon M50. I have the EF M adapter for my EF lenses. Because I need a wide for my work, I just purchased the Samyang 12mm F2.0 NCS CS lens for canon EF M mount.

I’ve fit it straight to the body, as it won’t fit the adapter, which I wasn’t aware of. So in my mind, if it fits directly onto the camera, it should work. It brings it up fine on my camera but it won’t record or take pictures. I guess I’ve missed something here. Please help. Thanks for your time, Guy
