canon_ef-m28macro_003

So, here is the first macro lens for the EOS M system, the EF-M 28mm F3.5 Macro IS STM with built-in LED lights.

The EF-M 28mm F3.5 Macro IS STM seems to have a compact and retractable design (you can see the switch). The specifications leaked earlier today:

  • The world’s lightest macro lens
  • Image stabilisation (IS)
  • Hybrid IS
  • Standard lens of conversion 45mm corresponding to the flexible for a variety of subject
  • Built-in macro light. It can automatically illuminate when needed
  • Maximum magnification is 1.2 times
  • AF motor stepper motor
  • One UD lens and two aspheric lenses

The EF-M 28mm F3.5 Macro IS STM will be announced very soon. Stay tuned…

Canon EF-M 35mm f/1.8 STM lens coming Summer 2016? [CW3]

I’ve been told (thanks) that Canon will announce a EF-M 35mm f/1.8 STM lens during Summer or late Summer 2016, in any case before Photokina 2016.

Unfortunately, I got no specs about the EF-M 35mm f/1.8 STM lens. It’s not the first time such a lens is rumored. I think there will be new lenses for the EOS M system in 2016 (something Canon itself stated), and a 35mm f/1.8 appears to be a pretty likely choice.

On an APS-C sensor a 35mm lens is equivalent to a 56mm lens on full-frame (Canon’s APS-C sensors have a crop factor of 1.6). 50-55mm is a very classic focal lenght that should be available for every camera system. For the time being there is only one prime lens for the EOS M system, the EF-M 22mm f/2 STM (equiv. 35mm). If Canon has to make one and only one additional prime lens for the EOS M system, then it will be a 35mm lens.

In the meantime we are waiting for the EF-M 28mm Macro lens that leaked last week. Stay tuned…

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV specification speculations [CW2]

Eos 5d Mark Iv

A rehash of anything that has been suggested in the past about the upcoming Canon EOS 5D Mark IV surfaced as spec list on the web.

Be aware that it is still early for reliable leaks about the EOS 5D Mark IV‘s specifications (expected to be announced before Photokina 2016). As plausible as the list below may seem, it is not a spec list coming from a known source, or a reliable one, though it seems plausible.

  • 24.2MP Sensor
  • 61 AF Points (41 crosstype)
  • DIGIC 7+ (Single)
  • 7fps
  • ISO 100-51,200 (expandable options)
  • 3.2″ touchscreen LCD
  • CFast/SD card slots
  • Wifi built-in
  • GPS built-in
  • BG-E20 battery grip
  • LP-E20 battery
  • Slight weight reduction

Take anything with a proper amount of salt, especially the sensor resolution and having both WiFi and GPS on board. I got different suggestions about the sensor resolution, and so far Canon did not implement both GPS and WiFi in their highly weather sealed bodies (but there is a recent patent that shows how it can be done). The sensor resolution that has been suggested by my sources is 28MP, but for the time being I can not confirm it.

Interesting to note that 4K is missing in the list above. I am pretty sure the EOS 5D Mark IV will feature 4K (anticipated by us back in July 2014). We got many hints about 4K on the EOS 5D Mark IV, as did others.

Stay tuned for more…
