Patent: Sigma 11-22mm f/4.5-5.6 Art Lens

Maybe it'll make more sense re-phrased a little.

Every EF mount lens that Canon sells is fully compatible with every EF mount body.
EF-S bodies just happen to also be fully compatible with EF lenses.

Maybe it'll make more sense re-phrased a little.

Canon announced earlier this year that they've produced 110 million EF lenses. The fact that the majority of those happen to be of the EF-S subtype means that every 'EF mount body' (as you phrase it) is fully incompatible with the majority of EF lenses Canon has produced (an Canon counts them).

Nope, I guess that doesn't make more sense.

Both systems have their quirks in nomenclature and in compatibility. Nikon is clearly worse in terms of nomenclature and compatibility in terms of complexity, but Canon is worse in terms of numbers of users who need to abandon lenses because of incompatibility.

They're fully compatible with every camera you can mount them to

I agree that complaining about Nikon's lens compatibility may be nitpicking, but it's much more confusing at a glance.

I wonder if we'll be seeing this sometime this year.

I wouldn't trade my 8-15L (on crop) for this or the Canon 11-24 on full-frame.

No; those are good lenses BUT if the biggest downside is 5.6 and its sub $1000, there will be plenty of excited buyers... I could trade my 14L for that lens... AFTER I see how much / little distortion
