New EF-M 85mm f/1.8 IS STM Coming? [CR1]

[StudentOfLight]

I wonder what the userbase of the EOS-M system is like. For me the 135L is a very specialized focal length. On aps-c 85mm would be similar but with less potential for background blur. How many people will buy it? I guess it comes down to the pricing...

Tried the ef 85 f/1.8 on my M, as well as the 50 f/1.8. The benefit is 2-3 stops which is a lot more bacground blur than the ef-m zooms in that range. If you want more than you're going FF anyway. Couldn't recommend either of the old EF variants - focus noisy and hunts, difficult to frame at arm length. The M3 with EVF overcomes the latter and makes MF easy to.

The 50 f/1.8 STM is quite nice on the M3 so far, quiet and quick. I'd have preferred a smaller EF-M variant, but this one works on my 6Ds as well. I seem to use the EVF with it more often than not so far. Not sure I'd want an 85 at this point. Many down the road.

Never happened, so sad.

I agree! I initially thought it's a new rumors but then noticed this was originally posted 2-3 years ago!
For M system, the adapter size and weight is something that matters and counts! The size of such lens might be smaller than the EF-50STM+Adaptor.
