Patent: EF-M 9-17mm f/3.5-5 STM

[brad-man]

This is not a lens the M series needs right now with the excellent performing 11-22mm lens. Just like the 9-18mm 3.5-4.5 rumored lens from last month. Canon seems to be out of touch with reality at the moment. The macro lens they just released is not going to get people to buy into the M system any more (except for a few niche people who take specialty photographs). Release exciting lenses and maybe people will begin to get excited about this system.

Care to suggest some 'exciting' lenses?

I can't speak for Harold, but I would have found an EF-M 60mm f/2.8 IS macro to be very "exciting". Oh, to have a "pocketable" version of my beloved EF 100 f/2.8L IS for portraits and small stuff. I'm not dissing the new little 28, it just doesn't have enough versatility to excite me. (And yes, I know the 60 would be quite a bit larger than the 28).

The long rumored and waited for EF-M 35 f/1.8 IS is titallating as well 8)
