Re: New Tokina lenses for EF-M

I think any T-mount or EF lens is an alternative for the Canon M cameras, especially once you get past the 100mm focal length - I'm very happy using my EF 100mm f/2 on mine.

I'm not so sure about IBIS with very long lenses though, I can't help thinking it would rapidly run out of range, though I've not tried it.  This was an experiment with the magnified focusing on my M10.

Canon reflex lens 500mm 1:8

It was so shaky holding the lens by the focusing collar while turning it that I could hardly see to focus and I could easily imagine the IBIS hitting its limits.  Magnified view also showed up just how shaky my tripod is compared with the surveying instrument tripods I used in my early career.

Minolta are the only company to have made an AF catadioptric lens, just the one model, but you would need a Sony camera with the right adapter to AF that one.
