Re: New EF-M Lens - FINAL TALLY

Final Vote Totals

Here is the final total of voting. The weighted total assigns 3 points to a 1st choice vote, 2 points for a 2nd choice vote, and 1 point for a 3rd choice vote.  80 people cast 1st choice votes, 57 cast a second choice, and 48 cast a third choice vote.

Out of curiosity, I took the votes from the three lowest ranking lenses and added them to the nearest equivalents.

This reduces it from thirteen new lenses down to ten and I am assuming it would have very little overall impact.  Things could probably be reduced even further with a little creativity.

For example, pull out the 50-150mm f2.8 and just build an EF-S version since that lens is needed too and the EF-M version wouldn't be much smaller.  With careful design, the 50mm f1.8 and 60mm macro could probably both be satisfied with a 55mm f2.0 IS macro.  Alternatively, the 85mm f1.8 could be tweaked a bit to do double duty as a macro lens.

These changes could bring the list down to eight new lenses.

With the current average of one new lens per year, everyone should have all of their needs met by 2023.
