Thanks for doing this. Fun.

One consistent interesting thing about the various "Which lens next?" threads is the wide diversity of people's preferences and desires. All over the map.

If I were Canon and noticed that diversity I would probably say "It's insane to try to meet all these demands, given the low volume of sales of this camera. Especially because the faster lenses will be big enough to look and handle like the EF and EF-S lenses in any case. So let's just make it as easy as possible for them to access those existing lenses (by lowering the adapter price to $50, for example) and, with the exception of the most mainline lenses, let it go at that."

IMHO that is where we are headed.

Of course the M3's mismatch with existing non-STM lenses doesn't help or support this approach, so hopefully they will fix that issue.

While there are 13 lenses in the list, it is already pretty clear that some could be consolidated or eliminated.  The 18mm f2.8 and 70-300mm could probably be dropped.  While not thier first choice, the 15-80mm and 18-200mm users would probably be satisfied with the 18-135mm or 16-50mm.

That quickly gets you down to 9 lenses that captured over 90% of the votes.
