Fujifilm 8-16/2.8 - stoppingdown - 09-22-2017 I do agree: fast (ultra)wides do make sense (now, I put "ultra" in parentheses because how much ultra, it depends on the subjects; but fastness for blurring the background makes definitely sense). Fujifilm 8-16/2.8 - Brightcolours - 09-23-2017 Quote:I'm talking about size of an UWA here. Sure, it's not 12 equiv, but others have compared it to 16-35, so why not a 18-36?It is totally ok for you to appreciate that Olympus lens, I just found it strange to bring it up in a thread about a wider, "fast" UWA. The 16-35mm only came up because someone thought they had confused its size with that of the "fast" and also wider Sony FE 12-24mm f4. I know that such a slow lens does not exist anywhere else, but I am unsure what the beauty of that quite extreme small maximum aperture is. Whether something like it does not exist anywhere else? The Canon EF-M 11-22mm f4-5.6 IS STM is pretty close in size (just 4.5 mm wider and 8.5mm longer) and focal range: Olympus ED 8-16mm f4-5.6 is a 18-36mm FF equivalent Canon EF-M 11-22mm f4-5.6 is a 17.6-35.2mm FF equivalent It is a tad faster too: Olympus f8-11 FF equivalent and the Canon f6.4-9 FF equivalent. The Canon has IS vs the IBIS of Olympus. http://j.mp/2xmm5S9 It seems a lens like that pretty much does exist somewhere else?

The 16-35mm only came up because someone thought they had confused its size with that of the "fast" and also wider Sony FE 12-24mm f4. I agree, the EF-M 11-22 while not as small, is somewhat close. The Canon M system could be actually interesting if it was a real system. At the moment however, the system is extremely poor in terms of lens selection. A shame. Hopefully Canon will think of filling up the huge gap in the lens line-up. Fujifilm 8-16/2.8 - Brightcolours - 09-23-2017 Yeah, I totally agree that MFT has a much wider lens selection than native EOS M, and it also has more to offer concerning small lenses. Fujifilm 8-16/2.8 - toni-a - 09-23-2017 What doesn't make any sense is the price of the EF lenses adapter, give us a cheap EF/EFs adapter and many will consider it Fujifilm 8-16/2.8 - Brightcolours - 09-23-2017 Quote:What doesn't make any sense is the price of the EF lenses adapter, give us a cheap EF/EFs adapter and many will consider it What are you talking about? Which brand of EF to Fuji X-mount adapter? In case you are actually going even more off topic than I and thxbb12 have gone and are talking about a Canon EF to EF-M adapter for EOS M, you must have missed something. Almost 4 years ago I payed around $30 for my Meike EF to EF-M adapter, and you can get such adapters now for around $10, even. But if size is of little concern and one does not need to mount a specific EF-M mount lens, I much prefer a camera like your "new" 7D mk II, your 750D or even a 100/200D any EOS M. Why? They offer an OVF. And you can make them do trap focus (probably, depending on model and lenses available to you). There is no 8-16mm f2.8 for EOS M, though. So for such a solution and an APS-C sensor, one should look for Fuji (in the near future) anyway. Fujifilm 8-16/2.8 - toni-a - 09-23-2017 Didn't know about the meike EF to EOS-M adapter Is it as functional as the Canon adapter ? Maintaining autofocus and stabilisation ? Fujifilm 8-16/2.8 - Brightcolours - 09-23-2017 The EF to EF-M adapters are just simple extension tubes. It does therefore not matter which brand is printed on them.
