I recently questioned if Ken was serious
about the EFM system
there isn't a deep inventory of afm
lenses and with the rumor of an aps-c RF
body being developed the future of the N
system was in doubt today I have lots of
good news for you let's get into it

On January 28th I published this video
about an aps-c body that was being
developed for the RF system Canon rumors
rated this as a CR to a CR 2 or CR 3
means that it comes from a well known or
trusted source and a CR 3 just means
that it's fact this is a CR 2 so I
believe that ken is indeed working on an
aps-c body for the RF system and it's
gonna be aimed at more of the
professional crowd so I started to
wonder well what does this mean for the
e FM system it doesn't have a lot of
lenses sure you can bring the EF and the
F lens us over but as far as road map
there is no road map off the M you
cannot migrate EF EF M lenses over to
the RF system but today we have some
good news I no longer doubt the future
of the M system now this rumor is rated
as a CR one so there is no validation so
please take this with a grain of salt
over the next 24 months Canon is going
to be releasing five new EFM lenses and
I'm gonna list them off to you here and
then I'm going to talk about the
different use cases for them there's the
e FM 15 millimeter f/2 this is an STM we
have the 52 millimeter f/2 STM we have
the 62 millimeter f/4 Micro STM the 18
to 45 millimeter is 2.8 to 4 and we have
the 100 to 300 millimeter and that's
that's a great lens for wildlife
photography that's going to give us some
amazing shots the focal length on this
or sorry the the f-stop
this one is f five point six to eight so
we've got some really amazing lenses
here when I first looked at this I kind
of thought well some of these are
strange lenses the the fifty-two
millimeter the 62 millimeter but that's
only because I'm used to thinking from a
full-frame point of view see crop factor
plays a huge role in the EFM system let
me explain I know a lot of you are
professionals and you probably don't
need this explanation so you might want
to skip ahead a minute but for most
ordinary folks we tend to get confused
by the crop factor and what it really
means to us when we're trying to choose
a lens so let's take the example of the
52 millimeter f/2 what the 52 millimeter
is it's just a simple measurement it's
the measurement from the sensor to the
lens and on an aps-c like the ve FM
system or the FM lenses or on a
full-frame camera it's 52 millimeters so
why would it create a different view
well it's because the sensor is a
different size the full-frame sense it
will grab all the light whereas a crop
sensor grabs less light and what that
produces is an effective zoom factor so
the 52 millimeter with a 1.6 crop factor
that's canons aps-c crop factor creates
essentially an 80 millimeter lens so
instead of getting a 50 millimeter lens
you're gonna be producing the results of
an 80 millimeter lens and that also
carries over to the f-stop so the f-stop
doesn't function like an f2 it functions
more like an f3 or 3.1 and the f4
function is more like an f6 or five
point six point one I think it's
somewhere around there essentially you
multiply one point six by four and
that's what you get so I think it's a
six point four there you go so what why
am I telling you this
well I made a very expensive mistake
many many years ago back then YouTube
wasn't a big deal so I got my news from
photography websites and they reviewed
this 100 millimeter I wanted to get more
into portrait photography so I reviewed
it and the 100 millimeter produced some
really really good results it was rated
very very well so why not bought it I
shot with it and I came back home I
looked at things on my computer
the results were terrible one day I came
to an epiphany I came to a realization
that this is where the crop factor came
into play the person was reviewing this
lens for a full-frame sensor and on a
crop sensor like the 70d essentially
that 100 millimeter became 160
millimeters while an awesome macro lens
I'm gonna show you some photos here that
I created with this and these are some
of my early ones so you can definitely
see faults with it
I shot too wide so when I was getting
pictures of the bee or pictures of the
mosquito not all of the creature was in
focus because I had such a wide f-stop
so I've learned that mistake in some of
my future videos are some of my future
photos but the real moral the story is
you you need to when you're thinking of
buying a lens for an aps-c you need to
apply that crop factor and you need to
understand or in your roadmap you know
this 52 millimeter I'm I'm not really
getting a 52 million if you really want
to get the benefits of a 50 millimeter
lens then you're probably looking at
something like a 34 millimeter or a 40
millimeter you're not gonna get that
with a 52 the 52 is going to simulate
the 80 millimeter and the 62 millimeter
is essentially giving us a 100
millimeter and that's really good news
so we're getting some great portrait
lenses here and of course the real big
news is the 100 to 300 which is
essentially a 160 to 480 so for wildlife
on the M system this is going to prove
some really really amazing results so a
couple couple of main points here all
these five lenses they're rumored and
they're highly speculative I wouldn't
get your hopes up too much but certainly
dreams certainly fantasize about these
lenses as more information comes out I'm
going to produce video so please go
ahead and subscribe you'll get the
latest information you'll get
notifications and it also helps support
my channel and the other thing is don't
forget to keep that crop factor in the
back of your mind if you're shooting
with an aps-c camera which is what the M
system is all about or you're gonna end
up buying the lens that you think is
your dream and it's going to produce
something completely different
like you I've been receiving a barrage
of negative information all week but
this morning I woke up feeling happy and
it wasn't because it's Saturday but
because I felt the warm rays of the Sun
on my face I felt like spring is in the
air I felt like it was 70 to 80 degrees
outside I woke up I got dressed I put my
shorts on and a t-shirt but it wasn't
warm outside spring wasn't quite here in
summer certainly wasn't you see I live
in Canada and this time of year we can
still get major snowstorms and ice
storms but that Sun coming through the
window seeing that beautiful summer blue
sky without a single cloud in the sky
just made me feel a whole lot more
better a whole lot more joyous the rays
were hotter you could feel the heat
coming in through the windows and it
truly did feel like summer and of course
when I did look outside I could see the
tulips and the daffodils coming out they
were probably about a good 10
centimeters above the soil the snow was
gone I could see blades of green grass
coming through the through the through
the lawn and I was then that excitement
just continued so I knew I had a video
to get done I looked at some of your
comments so I thought okay you know what
I'm gonna get this video done I'm gonna
shoot at printing computer then we're
gonna have lunch and then we're gonna go
outside and enjoy some of the weather we
can't go to the parks we're more or less
supposed to keep within our homes but I
grabbed my camera and we're I'm going to
grab my camera I'm gonna go outside and
take some of those macro shots I'm gonna
get in close to shoot the daffodils and
to see what other aspects of spring I
can capture and I just I'm overjoyed by
that and I want you to feel the same
sense of peace and happiness that I'm
feeling that we can grab out on the
world today take your camera go outside
into your backyard or your front yard
capture capture signs of spring record
them in video or record them in photo if
you've got macro lenses use those if
you're trapped in a high-rise if you're
in a city and you can't go outside
I'm sure you've got plants around the
house put them by the window take
pictures of them take video and what I
would love you to be able to do this is
my challenge for you is take those
photos take those videos put them on
YouTube and comment on this video and
me a link to those videos of what I'm
gonna do is going to take them all I'm
gonna put them together and I'm creating
gonna create a video of what we
ourselves have captured of spring and I
know in the southern hemisphere you're
getting ready for winter but you can
still do this to capture life as it's
happening send it to me and I'll put it
together in a video and let's capture
some of the more positive aspects of
life now one word of caution here when
you go ahead and post that comment you
may not see it publicly and there's a
good reason for that I do have a filter
that blocks all URLs and I do review
them and I will approve them the reason
for that is sometimes I just get people
spamming me and if any links that sort
of that redirect people off YouTube
doesn't work well for the site so I just
don't allow those but rest assured I
will review it throughout the day and
I'll approve your comments I'll look at
your videos and probably sometime this
week you can expect a video where i
showcase what each of you guys have sent
in so and because they're in the
comments you can actually review them to
comment say what you like about it and
let's forget all the negativity and
let's sort of capture spring as its as
spring is happening over much of Asia
North America and Europe especially my
Russian friends you guys have longer
winters than we do I think you have the
coldest recorded temperatures in the
world and that's not a record I would
like to see us break anytime soon we
certainly have long winters for those of
you in slightly warmer climates you
might be surprised by this but right up
until the end of April we can have
snowstorms last year on the 21st of
April we received an ice storm and we
actually had about a good inch or two
and a half centimeters of just ice
pellets next week flowers are out we had
all the plants outside and it was warm
it was 70 degrees or about 23 degrees
and one thing you guys are gonna have to
get used to with me I've grown up around
the planet I've lived in New Zealand in
the southern hemisphere I lived in
Canada the United States I've lived in
Europe and because of my age I grew up
under the imperial system so in the warm
weather I'm thinking Fahrenheit but in
the winter I'm thinking Celsius mostly I
do follow the metric system but you'll
find that sometimes like what the heck
is he talking about
it's always good when I talk about
temperatures look at the date if it's
summertime you know I'm in Fahrenheit
and if it's wintertime you know I'm in
Celsius thank you for watching the
