Re: Canon EF-S 35mm f/2.8 Macro IS STM Images & Specs Leak Out
Looking at the related gear and costs:
EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM = $299
Pro: 1.2:1 mag, IS, illumination, decent standard prime FL option on crop
Con: STM, FBW, no distance scale, no focus limiter
EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM = $399 (launched at $449 back in 2005)
Pro: USM, FTM mechanical focusing, distance scale, decent portrait FL option on crop
Con: No IS, no focus limiter
Both are enthusiast lenses but I see the EF-M option (and the new EF-S STM option) as being a little more budget than the older EF-S for focusing reasons alone. USM + FTM mechanical focusing is clearly better for stills and that functionality usually costs more.
I'll say $300-ish for the new one.
