Is CANON EF LENS or CANON LENS EF?

[tq0cr5i]

I thought Canon may change the nomenclature of its upcoming prime lenses when saw the new 50mm f/1.8. The lens is marked as “CANON EF LENS 50mm 1:1.8 STM” while the old EF50mm f/1.8 II ”CANON LENS EF 50mm 1:1.8 II”.

The brand new 35mm F1.4L II called back to “CANON LENS EF”.

Any ideas?

Personally I like the “CANON EF LENS” especially on the L lenses launched during 2002-2008.

I'm not trying to be rude, but ... The first question that came to mind was "why would this actually matter to anyone?" I generally do not read the nomenclature on the lens, since it seems to have no effect on the photos.
