Most of us were suggesting it, now we have been told it’s true (thanks). The upcoming Canon EF-S 35mm f/2.8 M IS STM is indeed a macro lens, and it has built-in LED lights for macro illumination, just as the [shoplink 38547]EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM[/shoplink] has.
We expect Canon to announce the EF-S 35mm f/2.8 M IS STM at the beginning of April 2017.
Stay tuned…
New tidbits about the prime lens for APS-C DSLRs Canon is rumored to announce on April 5. It may be the Canon EF-S 35mm f/2.8 M IS STM.
As you can see it’s not the wide angle lens that was suggested until a few days ago. And there is this “M” in the moniker. Most likely the M stays for macro but we do not know for sure so far.
It’s a pity it’s not a wide angle lens. Hopefully it’s really a macro, possibly with built-in LED lights like on the [shoplink 38547]EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM[/shoplink].
More images of new Canon products. After the leaked images of the Canon EOS M6, the new Canon EF-S 18-55mm F4-5.6 IS STM and Canon EVF-DC2 leaked at Digicame-Info. The new Canon EF-S 18-55mm F4-5.6 IS STM is much smaller than the current model. All this gear will be announced very soon. Stay tuned!

I have been told (thanks) that Canon will announce new lenses for their [shoplink 6091]EOS M[/shoplink] system in 2017.
The rumor makes sense. Having announced the [shoplink 40697]EOS M5[/shoplink] to the world, Canon now definitely needs some good native lenses to improve the system. The lenses that are actually available for the EOS M do their job but are nothing particularly exciting. According to my source Canon will announce at least two prime lenses for the EOS M system, a 35mm and a 50mm. Both lenses are said “to be fast” but I didn’t get any information about the specs. Another lens for EOS M may be announced in 2017, a zoom lens that has been described to us as having a “quality above the other EOS M kit lenses” (whatever it means).
Canon Watch’s take: while the rumor comes with no specifications and is of the kind “something to come some-when” (the kind of rumors I do not like), I think this rumor has a good chance to be reliable. Canon simply can’t afford not to build some better lenses for their EOS M system, not after the feature-packed [shoplink 40697]EOS M5[/shoplink] many people was waiting for. A 35mm and 50mm prime and a more pro-level (and possibly fast) zoom lens would benefit Canon’s EOS M ecosystem. As good as the EF/EF-S to EF-M adapter may work, there is nothing like native lenses.
Please note: this is not the first time we get the suggestion that Canon is working on prime lenses for the EOS M system. The first rumors are more than a year old, and we didn’t see new prime lenses for EOS M so far.
This is the second lens rumored to be announced in 2017, the other being the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS.
The next iteration of Canon’s entry level Rebel line, the Rebel T7, may come with a new version of the classic kit lens, the inexpensive [shoplink 11699]EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM[/shoplink]. No specs so far.
We are pretty sure Canon will announce new Rebel DSLRs soon. Registrations of possible candidates showed up at certification authorities. The announcement could happen before CP+ (February 2017).

Canon may announce a Canon EF 85mm F/1.4L IS lens somewhen in 2017. That’s all for the time being. No specifications, unfortunately. Will the EF 85mm F/1.4L IS replace the [shoplink 135]Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II[/shoplink] or will it be an addition to the line?
