I would think that with the current Corona crisis it is easier to sell more affordable EF-M lenses than expensive RF lenses.

There are things that we want and things that we need. Things that we want do not sell well in times likes now. From my angle: new capital (CAPEX) expenditure and investments in enterprise markets already in doll drums since late Jan. Services hold up as they are typically either OPEX or been already pre-approved by finance. This points out to some serious economic headwinds. Which is in return, will filter down to all pockets of global markets. Read: people will be seriously holding up to their wallets. Sentiment is in already.I would think that with the current Corona crisis it is easier to sell more affordable EF-M lenses than expensive RF lenses.

they still have to set up manufacturing,etc .. that's still alot of work.It could also be the case that Canon has already done the design work on all these EF-M lenses ages ago and is just waiting for the right moment to schedule a production run.
IMO. you're not going to see a 7D. holding out hopes for it is just holding out hopes.I expect the 7D replacement to come in EOS R mount, as
1. The EOS-M line is made of small, light, consumer cameras & lenses, while a large portion of 7D owners use white super telephotos.
2. The EOS-R line is the pro line, and the 7D is definitely one.
3. The advantage of the 7D over the 1DX is reach, so I don't see Canon dropping the 7D line altogether.
4. Canon could release a twofer 50MP FF camera that would function as both a 5DS replacement when shooting with the full sensor, and a 7D replacement by shooting high fps from a 20MP crop. It can see some sense in it, just don't think its the probable scenario.
I guess if Canon feels they want to sell a M6II or a M5II .. then they may feel lenses are holding the system back from those cameras (rightly so).
So that's the only reason I could even think of that would make Canon decide to develop these lenses.
A better native normal zoom would seem to be the key lens for upgrading the EF-M system. A 65ish macro might add to the system too.
I don't think Canon had anything to do with the list of lenses in the rumor. It is a CR1Unfortunately, the list of rumored lenses suggests that Canon still wants to limit themselves to the ridiculous idea that all EF-M lenses must fit to the 61mm diameter. Without breaking out of this self-imposed prison, there is no chance for any of the lenses I mentioned.
I'm very happy with them. My only complaint is that, after 20 years of using f/2.8 trinity zooms, returning to fixed focal length lenses is annoying. Incidentally, I thought about buying the 56mm Sigma, but after trying my already-paid-for EF50 f/1.4 and 85 f/1.8 lenses on both Canon and Vello mount adapters, I decided that I could use them instead. Amazingly, the Canon 135 f/2 also works (and balances) well with an adapter.Are you happy with your Sigma lenses, I was thinking of getting one or both.
If you can live with f4, the 70-200 f4 L IS II balances surprisingly well on the m6 II and has great IQ. I have been on a weight reduction mission with EF lenses and swapped the 70-200 f2.8 L IS II for the f4 II version. Worked out well on both EF & EF-M bodies.I'm very happy with them.

Yes, zooms are definitely very convenient. Although I don't mind so much with my M6 because of the weight savings. I love using my 100/2 on my M6 as well, big enough to hold on to comfortably and not overly massive relative to the M6. I can definitely see the appeal of your 135/2L on the M6 given its sharpness and reach (like having a 200/2L on a fullframe although with more DOF).I'm very happy with them.

I'm on the same mission and that lens is certainly a possibility. I noticed that the RP and R are significantly lighter than my 5D3 and hope that the R5 and R6 will also be.If you can live with f4, the 70-200 f4 L IS II balances surprisingly well on the m6 II and has great IQ.

Yes I agree, same thing for me.If the R5 is as rumored and has 1.3X and 1.6X crops, I plan to use it as a replacement for my 7D. It would also give me a FF camera with twice the pixel count of my 5D3, not that I would use it FF very often. I'm one of those who thinks that, most of the time, 20-24MP are "enough". I may not order the R5 until after the R6 specs are fully revealed.
These are all for crop sensor. So for my M50, you have to 1.6x on all the numbers.
Yeah, I just wish they upped high ISO IQ by providing an image stacking / automatic double exposure mode. How good is that would be. Take two images consequently with a pre-defined shutter speed. Combine either in camera as a jpg or a couple of RAW files as an output. Would probably
Improve high ISO by a stop or so. It so obvious, I do not understand why it has not been implemented yet..
Hi Steve,*scratching head* how would that be different from simply lengthening the exposure and reducing the ISO to match?
If you can't lengthen the exposure because the subject is moving--well, that would be even WORSE with two exposures stacked (which would presumably have some time gap between the exposures).
