Random side note. Did a bit of digging on this last night, because I'm a geek who also likes history and had too much coffee too late in the day yesterday.

So, in the past I have come across a number of references to "Old EF-M lenses that were fully manual, but still an EF lens mount" online. This however after further reading and digging for information on this subject it appears that what I was previously lead to believe is completely wrong.

EF-M was actually a camera, one of the early film Rebels stripped of its auto focus and sold for a few years before being quietly swept under the rug and forgotten as a horrible idea.

Oddly enough, now I want one.

Canon has a few of those horrible ideas under the rug. Both the autofocus-only 100-200 f4.5A and the 35-80 Power Zoom come to mind. Both are ghastly ideas that luckily never went anywhere.
