If I'm right, we might see something similar in RF-S, great lenses for amateurs, but not adequate for pros. For example, we might see an RF-S 32 f/1.4 comparable in image quality to the EF-M 32 f/1.4, but it won't have weather resistance or USM speed. Those will be left to the RF 50 f/1.2L.

you bring up some good points on usm and weather sealing

but consider this - Canon did not develop a EF-s 32 F1.4 for the 7d mark II, they gave this nugget to what they considered an orphan m mount that they predicted pros would not use

No one developed a really good, compact 28-35 mm f/1.4 for EF-S. Sigma tried, twice, for the EF-S sensor size, and they were meh. The compact Canon EF option is f/2. The better Canon and Sigma EF options at f/1.4 are huge. In this case in particular, I think that even if Canon had wanted to develop a great 30 mm f/1.4, the flange distance of EF-S might have defeated them. Consider the difference between the EF-S 24 mm f/2.8 and the EF-M 22 mm f/2; being able to place elements much closer to the sensor helps so much.

mark this post - come back years from now - and you'll see I was right

We will indeed see!

Alan
