RF-s 16 f1.4 (do you think Canon will make great quality lenses that would compete with their FF?)

RF-s 30 f1.4 (and what about Fuji and Sony that have these siigy primes as well as the siggy 18-50 F2.8)

RF-s 11-22 (do you really think they want folks buying this lens versus buying their FF line?)

yeah right, they theoretically could make a smaller body, but don't disparage the M lens lineup until we see all of the apsc lenses above - this theory ain't going to happen - it didn't happen with EF-s, and it ain't going to happen with RF-s - why? Because Canon wants to sell you FF glass!!!

I’m not going to disagree with your basic premise that the Canon EF-M and EF-S lines have holes in them.

However, I will quibble over some of the details. EF-S users have the EF 50/1.8, EF 50/1.4, or EF 50/1.2L (in place of a 56/1.4),

I had one 50 f1.4 -- you had to stop down to f2.8 to be sharp

I had two 50 f1.8 - you had to stop down to f2.8 to be sharp

the EF 50 f1.2 is sharp at f2 and has fringing

On crop, you are better off with the sharp wide open siggy 56 f1.4

the EF-S 10-18 and 11-22,

I had the 10-18 and gave it away -- the 11-22 is a lot better

and EF 28/1.8,

35/2, or 35/1.4L

heavy stuff - the 32 f1.4 runs circles around these on crop

(in place of a 30/1.4 or 32/1.4). You are correct that there are no Canon EF or EF-S fast primes at 16 mm.

the 55-250 stm lives up to IQ -- but m mount lenses are better than what you are suggesting

Regards,

Alan
