any new rumors for the next EF-M lens?

[andrewflo]

An EF-M ~50mm prime (equal or smaller size to the EF 50mm f/1.8 variants) would really round out the existing 4 lens lineup.

But without putting words in Canon's mouth, it sort of feels like it's unlikely they'll put R&D money into it because of the EF to EF-M adapter already giving EOS M shooters a 50mm f/1.8 at their disposal.

However, the prospect of being able to carry a 2nd prime in my pocket sounds great. And that's not possible with an EF lens + adapter.

My next top choice would be a f/2.8 zoom (18-55mm would be fine). But personally, I'm not holding my breath. I'm just thankful they even released an M3 at all.

I got the Voigtlander f1.5 leica M mount with the fotodiox leicaM-EosM mount. It makes a great portrait lens for the eos-M3.

Very cool! I'm sure that's a pleasure to shoot with. But tbh I'm not sure it's for me

I would hope more for something ultra compact (like the EF-M 22mm or the EF 50mm minus any adapters). And not costing $600-$800 would also be a nice feature

Do you have any other vintage lenses with your M? I picked up a Helios 44-2 58mm and it's pretty fun! Need to pull it back out especially now that the M3 has focus peaking built in.

Disagree a little here. for the 50mm, 1.8 or f2 should be the target. Faster gets bigger, won't balance well and be much more expensive. Small primes should be Canon's focus for the M just like Fuji did to make their system so desirable. I think the M needs a small 35mm (50mm FF equiv), 50mm (85mm FF equiv) then maybe something wider, around 21-24mm FF equiv. THEN, they will have everything covered and be competitive.

i absolutely agreee.

play to the unique strengths. If folk want big telezooms etc there already is the regular, and easily adaptable very fine range of ef and ef-s lenses, often at a lower equivalent price.

keep them very compact.

I love what canon are doing with the 40, 24 and 50. Lenses that would sit well on an m via adaptor (please make a cheaper tough plastic version guys, or bundle one with every m....). The 40 and 50 can be used on any eos body of course... the ef-s on aps-c or m... more of this kind of thing please. How about a 60 or 70mm f2? a nice wee portrait lens for the m? or even better a very compact 60 or 70 that can be used on the ef-s or ef-m, or a collapsable that will do all 3?

i agree compactness should be the main focus. my brother has a fuji XF 10-24. while it is very nice lens, im so glad i went with EF-m 11-22mm. my only wish is the APS-C is 1.5x instead of 1.6x which currently makes the 11mm just that bit less wide. but that requires a fundamental rethink for all lens i.e. im sure it will never happen ;D
