Rumors about the upcoming Canon Mirrorless system are increasing and now it’s NR saying that there will be “a kit zoom and an adapter for EF lenses such as the new pancake 40mm lens“. Our friend Frank at CanonWatch spotted a patent for an EF adapter by Canon (see pictureon top), filed last year (machine translated).
Overall I think that between now and Photokina we will have tons of new mirrorless related rumors and announcements. It will become a pretty exciting summer 🙂 As next we will see a new Panasonic G5 cameras and new 45-150mm zoom. Should arrive by end of this week!

These stm lenses seem like a good way to make a lens work efficiently with both phase detect and contrast detect. I assume the kind of motor necessary for contrast detect also works well for phase detect whereas the same cannot be said for older phase detect lenses which take an age to focus in contrast detect mode.
I would assume the adapted ef stm lenses will work much better on the mirrorless camera than older micro motor and usm lenses will.
Does anyone know if the stm lenses focus faster in liveview mode on canon slrs?
Always thought that Pentax cited Foveon X3 CMOS his life-saving panacea.
Sigma camera microcomputer poor performance, plus he gave the impression of people is not the original factory.
Pentax they certainly will do better than Sigma.
Well i the adapter is this small it means the new system will have big lenses or big flange distance…
Oh and what braking news… It will have a kit lens and an adapter?!
Wow! Thats a surprise!:-)
Now doubt it will start at usual boring 28mm f3.5 and be usual slow 85mm f6.3.
A real revolution…
I bet the next rumor is that its gonna be Aps-c and 18MP…
