Here are some rumoured RF-S lenses that may be coming in the near future.
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I've seen the same rumoured lenses on another site mentioned in this article the day the R7 and R10 were announced. Could be a typo in both cases, could be a rumour thrown into the wind, could be real. Although an 11-55 would need to rely heavily on digital correction, specially at the wide end. At 17.6-88 equivalent, it would surely make a great walk around lens. I'd like to see it happen. I'd also like a good 10mm f2.8.

Similar to the rf 100-500 though. Maybe they think modern cameras can handle higher ISOs?

Photorumors now have a image of the 22mm (if not fake of course?):
Is that the Canon RF-S 22mm f/2 STM APS-C lens from the leaked roadmap I posted yesterday? - Photo Rumors
Yesterday I posted the leaked/rumored Canon EOS RF-S mirrorless APS-C lens roadmap and today we already have the first leaked picture of the Canon RF-S 22mm f/2 STM APS-C lens: Here again, is the leaked/rumored Canon EOS RF-S mirrorless APS-C lens roadmap in case you have missed it: Canon RF-S...

Though I'm not personally interested, I see why a lot of people could be interested in this...

Looks exactly like the ef-m 22/2 but with RF mount.View attachment 203897

Same as the released 18-150 seems to be exactly the same as the ef-m lens. Just another mount and some minor changes to the exterior. 18-45 seems to be a bit different though. 15-45 would have the lens stick a bit out from the mount if they just adapted it. I guess that's why it's 18 and not 15 at the wide end like the ef-m lens.
If they release the 22 and a small m-sized body without evf I will get one immedietly. My favorite light travel and long hike combo. The 32/1.4 I would get as well, another amazing m lens.

Canon seems to be happy to cancel high ISO improvements of new cameras with slower and slower lenses. The EF-S 55-250 5.6 is already very light and compact, what's the point of 7.1? To save extra 10 grams?

But the RF mount flange distance is 2mm bigger, so all the EF-M lenses would need some optical adjustments / changes. Not enough to just change the mount.

I'm afraid there is more than Australia. M6 Mark II was already stopped in Honk-Kong and Philippines nearly three weeks ago. Now in France, one of our main web retailer (Digixo) has simply stopped any Canon M product, and I guess Canon is just selling their stocks in France by now. Signs may be here I think.

Considering the R10, I'm a little surprised the wider zoom starts at 18mm. Wouldn't the target audience want something starting at 10mm (equivalent to 16mm on FF)?

Very strange design choice from Canon, especially because they already had the very tiny/cheap/small 15-45 in EF-M.

Yes. The ultra wide FF zooms start at 14mm & 15mm, EF-S has 10-18mm/22mm for years. IIRC, there were no rumors of RF lenses that might be wider crop ultra wide zoom.
I'm wondering whether sales of ultra wide zooms for crop sensors are so low Canon doesn't see any profit in making a new one / repackaging the 10-18/22mm, or is it an intentional move to encourage landscape photographers to buy a FF camera.

Assuming my interpretation of what the Canon US rep in the Adorama video said is correct, it sounded like the current and next few RF-S lenses would be based on the optics of the M lenses. I also assume that these lenses are good enough for a 32.5mp APSC sensor.

Plastic mount.... because it costs extra 10 cents to make metal mount like the EF-M

But still, adapting the old EF-S looks like the far better option, capability and image quality wise.

The R7 made sense. But the rest of this APS-C stuff looks like M series in a bigger and more expensive package. If consolidating to a single mount is saving money for Canon, they don't appear to be passing the savings on. At least when it comes to camera bodies.

I can see how the target audience for the 7D would consider an ultra wide lens as a convenience for occasional use.
I don't see any reason why an owner of an 850D / 90D / R10 would see an ultra wide less any less useful than an 5D / R5 owner.
