Is Canon set to announce an ultra-wide lens for the RF-S mount? It appears so.

The source of the rumor has been…:

[…] told that “one of” the next lenses announced from Canon will be an ultra-wide for the RF-S mount. We are are going to assume that the lens will be some kind of variation of the terrific Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM.

We think it is very likely Canon has such a lens on their release plan.
