Canon rumored to announce a new EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM mirrorless lens

canon_eos_m_mirrorless_camera_top

Another rumor from digicame-info: Canon is going to announce a new EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM wide angle lens for their EOS M mirrorless camera. The filter size will probably be 55mm. If Canon is serious about their new EOS M system, they have to offer a wide choice of prime and zoom lenses in a short period of time and also release a new, faster camera. Until then, Fuji, Sony and Olympus will rule the mirrorless market.
