In a move that probably surprises no one but Sam (absolutely everything surprises Sam), Canon appears to have quietly discontinued the Canon EF-M 28mm F3.5, and the EF-M 32mm F1.4.
While both products are going through the death throes – the Canon EF-M 28mm F3.5 has most certainly ceased to exist. It appears as if your mileage may vary with the Canon EF-M 32mm F1.4.
On Canon Japan’s webstore the 32mm and 28mm do not appear as products. However, the lenses do not appear on Canon’s discontinued inventory page here (yet, at the time of writing this article).
B&H still shows stock for the Canon EF-M 32mm but shows the EF-M 28mm as no longer available. Similarly, on Canon USA’s storefront, the EF-M 32mm shows as out of stock but has purchase and price information, but the 28mm has the purchase and price information removed.
While I never much cared personally for the 28mm, the EF-M 32mm F1.4 is a simply amazing lens. If you are holding onto your EOS-M system and deciding to use it until it dies, I’d strongly urge you to get the EF-M 32mm F1.4. Neither the Sigma nor the Viltrox equivalent come close. Its sharpness is insane, and it’s even insanely sharp on an infrared-converted camera – something most complex mirrorless primes struggle with.
The only Canon prime left in production for the EOS-M system is the really good bang for the buck EF-M 22mm F2.0 but it’s only a matter of time now.
