Two EF-M Lenses Discontinued: EF-M 55-200mm F4.5-6.3 IS & 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS

EF-M 55-200mm

At least in Japan, it seems Canon discontinued the EF-M 55-200mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM and EF-M 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM lenses.

This seems to give credit to the “EOS M is dead”-folks. It’s true indeed that Canon released to very similar lenses for the RF mount, the RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM and RF-S 55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM. Does this mean, Canon wants you to migrate to the RF-mount? Maybe.

Has The Canon EOS M200 Been Discontinued?

Canon Eos M200

From the far East comes a hint that Canon might have discontinued the EOS M200.

If true, it means that for the time being, only the Canon EOS M50 Mark II is still in production. Will the RF mount cameras with an APS-C sensor overtake the EOS M system? And why the hell are companies still making lenses for the EF-M mount then?

The Canon EOS M200 doesn’t look discontinued at B&H Photo or Adorama.

Any idea…?

No prime lens for EOS M coming anytime soon

 

canon rumorscanon rumors

We had doubts about this rumor, which was suggesting Canon would announce a prime lens ahead of CP+. It just looked to be too much perfectly timed. Moreover, ahead of any important photography show it’s always “crap rumor season”. That’s not to say that websites are always responsible for fake rumors. We all get fooled, from time to time.

Now, unfortunately the “a new prime lens for the EOS M system before CP+”-rumor turned out to be not reliable.

Back in November 2016 we got an identical rumor saying Canon would announce a prime and a zoom lens for the EOS M system in 2017. It didn’t happen and since then I lost a bit of confidence about Canon’s plan with the EOS M system. A system that’s recognised to be powerful but to dramatically lack native lenses. Since the EOS M5 () and EOS M6 () you can properly use almost all EF and EF-S lenses via adapter (). Never the less it’s not the same as having good native lenses (something you get if you buy into Fuji’s mirrorless system).

New EF-M lenses are rumored since a while, and we got a few suggestions it could be 35mm prime lens. However we haven’t heard anything since a long time about an EF-M 35mm lens so we do not think this old rumor is still reliable. The last time we heard something in this direction was one year ago.

However, there is a lot of stuff Canon is set to announce ahead of CP+ (starting March 1, 2018), and it’s listed here.

Stay tuned.

Two new EOS M lenses coming this year, a prime lens before March 2018? [CW3]

Rumor has it Canon will announce two lenses for the company’s EOS M mirrorless system.

The two EOS M lenses are said to be a prime and zoom lens. The prime lens is said to be announced for CP+ (March 2018). No hints are given for the focal length, or for other specifications.

New EF-M lenses are rumored since a while, and we got a few suggestions it could be 35mm prime lens. However we haven’t heard anything since a long time about an EF-M 35mm lens so we do not think this old rumor is still reliable. The last time we heard something in this direction was one year ago.

All truth to be told, back in November 2016 we got a rumor saying Canon would announce a prime and a zoom lens for the EOS M system in 2017. It didn’t happen and since then I lost a bit of confidence about Canon’s plan with the EOS M system. A system that’s recognised to be powerful but to dramatically lack native lenses. Since the EOS M5 () and EOS M6 () you can properly use almost all EF and EF-S lenses via adapter (). Never the less it’s not the same as having good native lenses (something you get if you buy into Fuji’s mirrorless system).

Back to the rumor. If Canon is set to announce a new EF-M lens to display at CP+, it almost for sure will happen along with the announcement of Canon’s next mirrorless camera, the EOS M50.

Stay tuned!
