Lately, multiple manufacturers have chosen not to release their most recent crop sensor AF lenses in EF-M mount.

  • Rokinon/Samyang 12mm f/2.0 - XF
  • Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 - E, XF, L
  • TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8 - XF
  • Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 - E, XF
  • Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 - E, XF
  • Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 - E, XF (compatible with full frame)
  • Tokina 23mm f/1.4 - E, XF
  • Tokina 33mm f/1.4 - E, XF
  • Tokina 56mm f/1.4 - E, XF
  • Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 - E, XF, Z
  • Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 - E, XF, Z (compatible with full frame)

Besides Sigma, both Tamron and Viltrox have previously released AF lenses for the M system and would already have the engineering work of defining AF protocols finished.

In terms of AF native lenses, EF-M only has 7 lenses from Sigma and Viltrox, all primes and 1 discontinued Zoom from Tamron.
I took a decade...

What will be the fate of the RF-S mount ?

There isn't as much urgent to produce lenses for it.

That R7 is a dream camera, the feature set is very extensive, and has great ergonomics but the lack of lenses gives me pause.
Their only two native lenses suck, I think the RF-S 18-45 is worse than the EF-M 15-45 !
If at least they had the 11-22 and 22 I'd jump.
