New EF-S 24mm & USM Motor Coming? [CR1]

Re: New EF-S 24mm & USM Motor Coming? [CR1]

Sometimes I get jealous of my friends who shoot with Nikon. One of them bought Nikon 35mm F1.8 DX lens, and that's great. : When I see the flash SB700 (medium model) also serving as master wireless, am ashamed of the 430 EXII not do the same. When I complain of the lack of APS-C primes (here in CR) tell me that I can buy Sigma 30mm F1.4, or Canon 28mm F2.8 IS. :-[ Seriously, Sigma costing $500 without image stabilizer, and Canon costing $550 for only F2.8? :-X APS-C allows a lens 24mm (or 22mm) F2 very compact and below $300. Come on, Canon! I'm waiting.

Picked up my 28 f/2.8 IS for 350 during the last holiday season's sales from one of the NYC superstores. It's a nice lens, but not very popular.

Wow, you paid a good price for 28mm IS. It is a shame that other countries outside the USA there is no discount on prices of lenses. However, I actually prefer the focal length 24mm APS-C. Actually, I'm very envious of EF-M 22mm F2.

I have wanted a lens like this since I first started shooting. I'm on FF now, but I actually recommend Nikon occasionally to hobbyist photographers because their 35/1.8 is a good cheap addition to the kit (generally the only lens they own besides the kit 18-55 and potentially a slow 70-300). If Canon puts out an inexpensive and good quality 22-24mm prime, I will never have to recommend Nikon again in the foreseeable future.

The 24 is more useful than the 28, but the 28 was on sale and the 24 was not. I think the 24 and 28 f/2.8 IS are more suited to FF because there are so many zooms that have IS for APS-C in the range. IS can be useful, but I don't use it much because most of my pics have people in them and I typically need a faster shutter speed anyway.

Agreed, the EF-M 22 f/2 is a gem. The smaller and noisier the sensors, the more "necessary" faster lenses are...

I actually have been patiently looking for a cheap pancake FF 20mm(but 24mm might just do), that is my favorite angel of view on APS-C, but the current 17-40 will serve very well for the moment.

If it was EF, i would be extremely excited, as it is EF-s i am only moderately... a small 24mm pancake/scone on my wifes 100D would be excellent! Lets see what turns up!

Anything new on this lens, or is it just another empty rumour creating false hope? (Canon, can you spell Kodak?)

Sounds a bit strange to me.

Is there a demand by people who shoot video for a 24mm lens with STM? If so, why make the lens EF-S, considering it already made a FF lens with STM?

There WAS a demand for EF-S primes, and L lenses would have been especially nice.

Is there a particular reason that makes EF-S cameras need (dedicated) 24mm lenses?

Is there any reason FF body shooters need a dedicated 35mm lens?

An EF 35mm lens will work fine on crop bodies, as will an EF 24mm lens, e.g. the new 24mm f/2.8 IS USM.

An EF-S 24mm f/2.8 IS STM will not work on FF bodies, hence it's being dedicated crop lens.
