Five new EF-M lenses for the EOS M lineup coming? [CR1]

[Tom W]

Interesting - that 15 might be pretty cool. The 52, maybe, too.

 

[PiezoSwitch]

It's about time the eos m line got some love. Hope they don't take as long as the firmware up date for the M6 MKII that never came.

The M6 never received any love either, not a single firmware update. But maybe the camera was perfect. Hmmmm.

 

[PiezoSwitch]

An earlier report had it as an f/2-4. I would really like a 15-45, even if it is f/2.8-4. I really hope that Canon has gotten over the obsession with 60.9mm overall lens diameter. I have both the Sigma 16 f/1.4 and 30 f1.4 lenses. Both are over 60.9mm in diameter, with the 16 being well over. Both work well on my M5 with a 270EX flash but would probably block the internal flash of an M6-2 or M200, especially if their lens hoods are installed.

Are you happy with your Sigma lenses, I was thinking of getting one or both.

Does this mean an APS-C EOS R just got a lot less likely?

I thought it’s been said all along there would be no aps-c R bodies.

 

[IcyBergs]

Each? Certainly not for all three and probably not individually.

Sorry, but I'm not buying this rumor. Not f/2 lenses. F/2.8 might be possible but I'll believe it when I see it.

As for the 7D replacement. Wide angle and even standard focal lengths aren't what sells the 7D. A 100-500 f/8 is more attractive, but the RF mount doesn't work on EF-M.

I do believe there is a chance that's the price of all 3.

The 22 f/2 is $249.

So that gives you $750 for the other 2 combined. I can see a 15 f/2 being similarly priced to the 32 f/1.4 and the 52 f/2 priced somewhere between the 22 and 32 and coming in close to that $750 combined.

The 22 was an exceptional deal being introduced as a kit lens with a simple design. The 32 goes for $480 and there is no reason to believe that the rumored 16, 52 or 62 would cost any less. It's good to be optimistic though...

I wish there was the letter "L" in there somewhere.

Canon has said that they have not decided yet. That means it could happen in the future if sales of mirrorless go well.

 

[Joaquim]

I could see myself buying several of those if IQ is superior to most of the current EFm lineup.

They had better be, considering the 32 megapixels.

 

[Joaquim]

Absolutely

I like the prospects of an f/2 prime trinity that you can have for under $1000 USD.

15mm f/2
22mm f/2
52mm f/2

Absolutely agree! Great for a lightweight video/gimbal setup. Although I'd probably use the Sigma 56 for portraiture. I do love my f/2 Fujicrons. Great alongside a flash for events and so light on the body.

It doesn't appear to have either autofocus or IS, so not really in the same class.

It also lacks electronic aperture, which the EF Laowo 100mm does have.

As we are going to have 12 - 20fps FF cameras ,would aps-c on Rf system be a worth option?

For telephotography and for macro-photography probably yes. They might benefit from greater magnification (longer reach for telephoto and greater magnification for macro). But even then, a higher pixel density FF will provide the same (albeit at a higher price point).
For general photography: certainly no.

Why F2 on these lenses?
One answer: Video.
No one has mentioned this point, but this is important for the future.

I can think of one good reason why the 52 would cost less than the 32 - it's rumored to be f/2 not f/1.4.

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.

X1.3, x1.6 crop mode in R5. i would love to learn about this feature. i am presently shopping for a low mileage Canon 400/2.8 lens. This piece of information is important to me. Thank you.

The crops were my guess, not "information", based on the fact that the 5Ds has both crop modes.

A.M: so.. it has not been rumoured but is a your understanding. Ok.

I have never heard of x1.3, x1.6 crops in 5DS either. Pardon my ignorance. Please enlighten me. Thank you.
