'EF-M 18-55mm IS STM
I have been told (thanks) that Canon is working on a replacement for the EF-
M 18-55mm IS STM lens. The new 18-55mm should be smaller, at least when not
used thanks to a retractive design (as the EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM has).
IS and STM obviously on board. No word about aperture but I guess it will
hardly be different from f/3-5-5.6. The new EF-M 18-55mm should also be
lighter than the current one. The source said the new 18-55mm IS STM will be
announced in Fall 2015.
The EF-M 18-55mm lens was released with the first EOS M. It can’t be said
this is an old lens. However, compared to what other manufacturers make, the
18-55mm may look somewhat outdated. A smaller and lighter lens with the
same zoom range would for sure be appreciated by many EOS M system owners.
I rate the rumor CW2 since it comes from a new source, though I am almost
tempted to give it a CW3. For the following reason: Canon is heavily pushing
the EOS M3 bundled as a kit, in Europe you can get the M3 only as a kit
with the EF-M 18-55mm IS STM lens. Doesn’t that look like someone wants to
empty stocks?"
