Canon Patent - EF-M 9-17mm f/3.5-5 STM Lens


Canon EF-M line of mirrorless lens

I have just returned from my Upper Amazon/Peruvian Highlands Photo Tour testing the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II camera in hot, steamy jungles and cold, two miles plus high, Andean mountains. Overall, I am quite impressed by the new body but now I have to take some time to get back to the daily routine, process the photos and get ready for my next trip to again test the camera in a whole new part of the world and environment.

Last month, I have reported on Canon's latest plans with their mirrorless camera line. Now, Egami has uncovered another new patent for an additional EF-M 9-17mm f/3.5-5 STM lens design. It may be announced before the year is up, perhaps together with the new mirrorless camera(s). It will be a good year for Canon mirrorless camera fans.
