Nice price and OK size. Wish Oly 9-18mm was 400 euros.
Canon is out of business! I would take Sony.
But favorite is still Olympus!
Good optics at consumer friendly prices! I hope they expand the system and make a good body…

Mh, this is the first “reason to buy” for this system.
Let’s see what happens from now on…
That is silly a 2X wide Zoom at f5.6?
looks like only Fuji is doing it right, a 14mm f2.8 is much more useful.

At least they got the price right, but f/5.6 is too slow. You will buy this lens and then end up upgrading to am f/2.8 zoom or f/2 prime.
Considering that the Canon 1.6x crop is almost the same as micro four thirds’ 1.9x, the appeal is not there. Indeed, the Olympus 12mm f/2 and Fuji 14mm f/2.8 are far more interesting options.
F/5.6 is fine, ultra wide usually shoot at 6.3 to 8 or so anyway. If you want large aperture UW you need full frame. I would much rather see compact for a mirrorless. This lens is a perfect size. I am extremely happy with my Samsung 12-24 f/4-5.6 that isn’t much larger.
You buy a system, not a lens. Canon system is inexistent and also this lens is…boring?
X…NX…NEX…NEXT!, please.
You don’t even say for which mount it is (Canon has 3 current ones – EF, EF-S and EF-M). I assume it is for EF-M?
Well considering this is mirrorless rumors… Which mount did you expect it to be for?
F/4-5.6? That’s all? Also, the EOS-M at $399.99 in the USA is still not cheap. I am still totally perplexed by Canon’s marking philosophy with this system. It is expensive but yet does not have the attributes to attract enthusiasts.
Oh yeah, it’s sooooo slow. Because you really need a constant f/2.8 in a UWA. Has nobody noticed that this thing is substantially smaller than the Sony 10-18 (f/4 constant) and only a tiny bit bigger than the m4/3 Oly 9-18 (which is also, by the way, f/4-5.6)? Don’t get me wrong, I find the Canon M system to be as lame as the next guy…but this, to me, is a very attractive lens providing IQ is up to snuff. Plus, IS is much more useful than fast aperture when we’re talking UWAs, in my opinion.
Small and tiny. Cheaper than the Sony 10-18. This is perfect. Stop moaning.

does anyone else notice that little switch on the top there? and the placement of the dot over the canon marker? this is probably one of those lens which you need to fold out to use… looking forward to seeing performance on this
