As an owner of the 70-300L I'll be interested to see how they differentiate the L vs new non-L

Re: Images of the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM & EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II Leak Out

still consumer. no tripod ring... no weather sealing... build quality will not be the same. but I bet everything will be good. IQ should be stellar!

Nano USM confirmed for the 70-300mm F/4-5.6 IS II. You can see the tiny Nano USM logo under the "stabilizer" text. I assume this means it will work with the power zoom-- cool!

This is the Nano USM text from the EF-S 18-135:

If you zoom in enough on the leaked images, you'll see the same N.

Just made this comparison gif for the other thread on these lenses.

Done using the rear lens caps for registration and scale, I have both styles on my desk.

Re: Images of the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM & EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II Leak Out

I'll be watching this very, very closely.

300mm is as much length as some people ever had with other camera systems.
If Canon makes this sharp enough at 300mm it could end up being one of the best telephoto lenses ever made, regardless of cost.
I can't wait to see the Maximum Magnification spec on that thing.
As much as I love my Sigma 150mm Macro lens, using a 150mm Prime can be cumbersome in some circumstances, when I'm not going for the micron level Macro shots having a lens with some zoom could be nice.

And if that EF-M 18-150 is decent on both ends of the zoom range it could be another groundbreaking kit lens that's actually worth buying separately.

Thanks pbd. EFM lens is lot smaller.

Okay, now they have all that medicore $hit built. Now it's time for serious 300+mm and some primes - all M lenses.

The lens cap comparison is not even remotely valid. The EF-M cap is much wider than the EF cap, which is narrow until the lip which contacts the mount. Your estimate exaggerates the size difference

Both are nice looking lenses!

What part of "I have both styles on my desk" don't you understand? The M cap is wider than the EF cap at the base (closed end) and smaller at the lens end, as is my illustration. It might not be mm accurate but it is a pretty close approximation. Baseline is the mounting face.

Disagree - the sizes look pretty much spot on to me. PBD takes their product comparison GIFs seriously, so I know I can depend on them!

You assume poorly: the presence or lack of Nano USM is not related to the powerzoom module except that they're both present in that single lens. One is for AF, the other is for zoom, and the powerzoom module requires gearing on the lens that doesn't appear to be present on the 70-300 II.

Looks like I will be getting everything: M5 MILC, EF-M 18-150, EF-M 14-45 and EF 70-300 IS. ;D

Interesting...

14*1.6 = 22
45*1.16 = 72
70*1.76 = 112
300*1.6 = 480

Excluding the 18-150 (doesn't really fit), that's 22-72 and 112-480.

Where's the coverage from 72-112 going to come from?

The 70-200 goes well with a 24-70, given that it's a Full Frame lens.
The 14-45 does leave a small gap between 45mm and 55mm where the crop kit zooms start.

Re: Images of the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM & EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II Leak Out

I'm just wondering why some people here think it should be stellar or even " the best telephoto ever made". Is there some new magic glass inside ? Most 70-300 4ish/5.6ish on the market fall into the "crappy zoom" category, with maybe the exception of the Canon 70-300mm 4.0-5.6 L IS, that is good to very good (for what it is). But very far from a true stellar lens like the 300 f2.8 L II. How come a plastic low end 70-300 could suddenly become the best 300 on the market ? That's a bit like comparing the Canon 50mm 1.8 to a Zeiss Otus.

It seems like it is easier and cheaper to come out with better lenses (IQ wise) than in the past due to the advancement in technology.

Re: Images of the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM & EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II Leak Out

The expectation is (obviously) for use with the EF-M mount cameras where the tripod mount comes via the EF to EF-M adapter.

Why would that be an concern for this specific lens?

It does not have a tripod ring mount because it will be light enough not to need it. Nothing more.

The 15-45 is an EFM lens, whereas the 70-300 is likely an EF lens ...... most people will probably pair a 15-45 or 18-55 with the 55-200 EFM if using an EOS M body, so either a small gap or no gap.

Any gap is not really an issue .... we can zoom a bit with our feet ...... or can crop a bit ..... I remember back to starting photography when most lenses were primes, so there were significant "gaps", yet everyone managed fine.
