Why would you not buy EOS M5?

Re: Why would you not buy EOS M5?

I said lens selection, but it is really not enough lens selection to convince me to switch back.

I have the original M and 22 / 11-22. Nice for certain things but not a generalist camera set. (Also adapter + 40mm.)

While waiting for something like this I got a Fuji and some nice primes.

To go back would require similar quality and selection of native mount lenses. As it stands even EF-S doesn't have the wide to normal lens set that would cover this, and EF is too big / expensive to justify given the competition.

So Canon, you seem to have the camera, how about some lenses?
