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

[andrei1989]

Yes a 22mm F2.0 for APS-C is the ideal lens for me. Its the lens I want NOW.

Followed by a 56mm or 55mm f1.8. About 88 to 90mm on full frame. Next a 16mm f1.8 or f2.0 (or f2.8) - 24mm on full frame. And finally a 32mm f1.8 to give an equivalent "nifty 50 lens" for APS-C cameras.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a 22mm lens, and I will be very disappointed but not surprised if its a "nifty 50 equivalent".

you's still be missing a 23mm 2.4 between the existing 24 2.8 and the 22 2.0 you want....

I went to a wedding in October 2016. Where the official photographer was using two Fuji's, one with the 23mm lens and the other with the 56mm. Lovely sharp pictures, good use of depth of field. B/W pictures were very, very nice. However, the colours of the colour pictures were not true to life. Perhaps this was because photographers pictures were processed to his personal taste. Nevertheless, the pictures are not as pleasing as those from my EOS 80D and 24mm f2.8. Or those from my 18-135mm USM lens.

Over the years, I have been very pro Canon. But I bought a Nikon DSLR. The Nikon lens was "the best" without question. However, the focus and the exposure accuracy were both appalling. I had more picture of my dog just out of focus (in fact blurred) and exposed completely wrong for his black fur and brown eyes. I talked to Nikon for help to get these issues corrected and two photo experts in stores. To make sure it wasn't me I went back to using my EOS 350D. Straight out of the camera I got in focus beautifully exposed pictures. Finally I stopped using the Nikon because I couldn't trust the results I would get just used the 11 year old Canon. At this point I bought the 24mm f2.8 STM and waited patiently for the next new EOS APS-C to be released>

My feeling is that Canon are definitely innovators, may be a bit slow on getting stuff to the market. But mainly everything works perfectly.

So I will stick with it and nag and nag Canon for the lenses I want.

then get the M5 with the ef-m 22 2.0 and use the adapter for the 24 2.8

maybe you could put a 1.4 TC on the 40 2.8 and get the 56mm you want so much
#sarcasm

my point is you have a solution to the problems you stated above: if the 50 1.8 is to short, for ef-s/m you have the 60mm macro. if you switch to ef-m system you have 8 primes to choose from between 22 and 60 mm..

 

[AvTvM]

exactly!

i own and use EF-M 22/2, EF 40/2.8, EF 50/1.8 STM and EF-S 60/2.8 on my EOS-M.

First of all. I never said I wanted a 23mm lens. I did say I want a 22mm f2.0 and that’s because I saw an article some time ago saying Canon had a patent for a 22mm F2.0 EF-S lens. That’s the lens I would like because it is the equivalent of a 35mm F2.0 lens on a 35mm SLR. I have used this combination on a 35mm SLR and loved using it. I took a large percentage of pictures with this combination.

Secondly, I typed in 16mm in error this should have been 15mm.

Last of all: Reading through this thread, it appears there is a lot of confusion about the focal length of full frame lenses and how they compare with APS-C.

So from the Canon website, I have looked through the specification of the lenses we are all writing about and listed them the angle of view for each lens except that of the 31mm lens.

My DSLR has a vari-angle screen LCD Monitor and Live View when I look through the bright view finder, I see 100% of what the sensor will take a picture of. I like this and don’t want a mirrorless cameras.

Some people buy Volvo, some buy Ford some buy other brands. That’s their choice. I bought a Canon DSLR that’s my choice.

Full Frame DSLR 35mm Lens: Angles of View Horizontal 54° Vertical 38° Diagonal 63°
APS-C DSLR 22mm Lens: Angles of View Horizontal 54° 30’ Vertical 37° 50’ Diagonal 63° 30’

At 05:26 on Wednesday 15 February 2017 I received an e-mail. So is the mystery now over? Canon have announced 3 new cameras and a new lens. It’s the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM will cost £219.99 in the UK :-\ .

The first new lens to be announced in 2017 was rumored to be an EF-S prime lens so can we anticipate another lens being announced and if so, when? :

At the same time of the rumor "EF-S prime", there was a rumor of "new kit lens". So, it must be concluded that the EF-S prime should be announced in the coming months.

I really, really hope so.

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>

Next lens is a EF-S prime, the EF-S 35mm f/2.8 M IS STM , but it is a macro or just 'M' so maybe 'M' does not stand for 'Macro'.

Y'all come over to the other post, it's been settled.
