Hm...Hope that the lens itself is a bit sharper...

That is a nicely sized lens. Probably wont take filters, as most ultrawides sport a very large filter thread for that purpose.

That is a nicely sized lens. Probably wont take filters, as most ultrawides sport a very large filter thread for that purpose.

Unlike the EF-S 10-22, this is not as wide (11mm vs 10mm), not as bright (f4 vs f3.5) and the shorter flange distance of the EF-M mount allows the lens to be less of a retrofocus design. This all adds up to a much more compact design, including the curvature and size of the front element.

It has been reported to have a 55mm filter thread, and that picture certainly looks like a front filter is not only possible, but around that size too.

+1 - the front element doesn't bulge out beyond where the filter would be threaded on, so it will almost certainly take a front filter.

I knew the EOS-M didn't have the best focus system in the Canon lineup..... but this takes the cake.

Interesting.... lets see how sharp it is. All we need now is an M body upgrade...

As an owner of the EOS-M, and someone who likes to travel light and take landscape/architecture shots, I'm happy this lens is being made. The cost though, seems a high 399 EU (524.68 USD, or probably a US MAP of $499.99) is high. I was hoping this would be more in the $199-$299 range.

As for the higher f-stops. Most landscape shots are done on a tripod, so it doesn't bother me. I always try to bracket my landscape shots, so I'd always use it that way. f4-5.6 is sufficient for lens of this caliber, so long as the image quality is on par or better than the EF-S 10-22mm.
