Seems good lens, but I would be really happy with 12 2.8 + 22 2 + 100 2 combination for this system.

I need simple things:
AF improvement and 85 1.8(or 100 2) for EOS M. Those with 22 2 will be great compact system, I don't need big dark zooms...

And if Canon are still not ready to deliver it for me - there are other options...

As skullyspice said - use pancake.

And EOS-M + 22/2 is about 500$ now if you want it really compact.

Tamron 18-270 VC should be fine.

Don't forget that should be compact for small body like 100D

No, not the 100-400 as a kit, but a new lens otherwise.

Well, they just updated the 18-55 and 18-135 lenses within the last year; maybe they'll do the 18-200 too, who knows. And they already have a good 17-55 and 15-85, not to mention a 24-105 that works well on crop. Not sure what kit lens they could put out that they don't already offer.

15-60 F4

get 2mm on the wide end, and 5 on the long end, and lose a stop of light, plus IS? I'll keep my 17-55, thanks...

If you are looking only the mm here or there go for 18-200
But this would be lighter and cheaper zoom with good range, add great image quality and could be great.
Of course with IS, I thought I don't need to mention it

I have one like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tripod-Mount-Ring-A-W-for-Canon-EF-80-200mm-F2-8L-400mm-f-5-6L-USM-Black-/230893467954?pt=US_Lens_Adapters_Mounts_Tubes&hash=item35c252b932.

EOS-M / Re: The Next EOS M? [CR1]

« on: February 24, 2013, 01:54:41 PM »

I would consider it if:
They make it with good enough AF(I don't want miracles, just to be on par with other mirrorless)
Good quality small interesting primes - 22/2 is a good start, 12/2.8 and 85/2 would be great...

 I don't need more from that system, small ugly viewfingers are not something that I need.
