The Next Lens from Canon Will be an EF-S Prime

[Canon Rumors]

We’re told that the next new non-kit lens Canon will announce is an EF-S prime. We weren’t told what focal length the new EF-S prime lens would be, but we do know that it’s not a specialty lens like a macro.</p>
<p>We’ve also been told that we may see a new EF-S 18-55 kit lens alongside the new Rebel next month.</p>
<p>What focal length of EF-S prime would you be interested in?</p>
<p><em>More to come…</em></p>

Please let it be a fast ~30mm at a reasonable price

It won't make sense for it to be in the tele range for obvious reasons. Rule out 24, 28, 35, 40 and 50mm as well. I'm guessing a UWA prime. Something like an EF-S 8 or 10mm (~13-16mm FF equivalent). At least f/2.8. Might be STM, no IS.

I think we have the 10-18 for mirrors and 11-22 for the ones who cannot affod a mirror. In that range and those are fairly good choices.

I think it will be a 30 or 35 mil to be a standard for APS-C. There's nothing fast there currently.

 

[Sharlin]

I don't think a standard prime is ruled out at all, but my second guess would be a UWA as well. A fast 12-14mm (~20mm equivalent) would be yummy.

 

[unfocused]

It would be nice if there were a true wide angle prime EF-S lens. At more than 38 mm equivalent I never felt the 24mm was a proper wide angle. 15mm would be much more useful.

 

[Don Haines]

30mm would be fantastic!
15mm would be fantastic!

but 29mm or 16mm will mean that Canon is doomed!

It could be an efs version of the WONDERFUL EF-M 22/f2.

There is no real equivalent to this joyful lens that not made by sigma and weigh a ton.

The lens has treated me well for 3 years, though I cant use it on a rebel

 

[Cory]

A 14 2.8 would be pretty cool to complement my 10-18 so I won't have to get a Samyang/Rokinon for astrophotography. Probably not gonna be that, but that'd be my first choice.

I'm afraid the EF-S version of the EF-M 22mm/2 is the already-existing 24mm/2.8 pancake; the faster aperture of the EF-M is probably only feasible due to the shorter flange distance of a mirrorless mount.

 

[ajfotofilmagem]

EF-S 30mm F1.8 for sure.
Just because I already gave up waiting, and bought the Sigma 30 Art. :

I would very much like an EF-S 20mm F1.8 as well.

 

[ahsanford]

After the 'There will be no EF 50mm lens in 2017' CR post, aka 'This just in: it's a big pile of poop for ahsanford', I did not think it could get any worse.

Now this. An EF-S 32mm f/nooneknows IS USM may be coming.

In all seriousness, new glass is never a bad thing. Congrats to crop users -- hopefully it's not a stinky turd of a lens. It's a total shot in the dark here, but my best guess would be an illuminated macro lens like the recent EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM.

Canon's already done that. The EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM pancake is that attempt for EF-S. I recognize that it's not f/2, but the likelihood of Canon offering two primes that basically do the same job for the crop market is next to nil, I'd wager.

[zman2596]

I would like to see a fast EF-S 35mm like f/1.8 or f/2.0

 

[andrei1989]

of course it will be a cheap EF-S 35mm or 14mm...i'm getting both from samyang very very soon ))

 

[Loswr]

EF-S 85mm f/2.4 IS STM. Just to piss off AvTvM.

Seriously, I think an 85mm APS-C lens is a possibility (likely f/2.8, but maybe f/2). It's at the edge of a focal length that will benefit from the smaller image circle, and the current 85/1.8 is 'old' while the 85L is expensive, so an APS-C short tele prime may have a decent market.

[hne]

Now this. An EF-S 32mm f/nooneknows IS USM may be coming.

I think it'll be an EF-S 31 f/2.8 STM. No-frills $200 pancake half way between the EF-S 24 f/2.8 STM and EF 40 f/2.8 STM

I'd like to see an EF-S 55 f/1.8 USM (and an EF-S 15-45 f/1.8 IS USM)

 

[rrcphoto]

hmm my bet is on a 30mm or a 50mm prime.

since they have a 60mm macro, you'd think that 30 would make more sense.

of course some will go .. but.. but.. BUT .. it's not a 31.25mm ..

 

[BasXcanon]

I guess the 3rd party lens manufacturers (samyang and loawa) are pushing canon to release a new faster wide angle 12mm lens for crops indeed. 12mm F2.8 and IS would be a no brainer for the 70D/80D bloggers.
Ofcourse we had the 10-18mm already which is great, but not indoors.

Other possibility is that Canon makes a copy of the Nikkor 10,5mm Fisheye for crop for Eos cameras.

BTW I just got an update on the Canon app on my smartphone.
It says, when wifi connected to the camera, it can create GPS tags in the exif file.
So the 80D/70D now have GPS
