I'm not so sure they will. Since those were the *very first five years* of the EF-S mount, they had to fill in all sorts of new lenses for it, make sure their crop users are "covered." And they are: even if someone only bought EF-S lenses (i.e. no 70-300 or 100-400L or whatever) they'd have 10mm to 250mm, which is actually more than most people have a real use for.
I mean, they could, but I don't see any gaps in the current Canon lens line up, except like the guy said for a slightly wider standard zoom.
>>205093 There's cine zooms that start at 10mm and are faster, so it's technically possible.
The thing with cine lenses, though, is that there are no size, weight, or price limits to their designs. Cine cameras are very rarely handheld, except when it's a Jason Bourne movie, so size and weight is no object.
Cost is also no object because practically the only people who actually *buy* these lenses are studios and rental houses that charge megabucks a day for them to be used on a production.
So cinematographers get to play with nice things like a rectilinear 8/2.8. (Yes, you read that right.)
>>205155 No. A hybrid aspheric element is one that is made spherical with glass, but they just glue some aspherically molded plastic onto it. Works fine better than it would if it was still spheric. Ideal, of course, is hand-ground native aspherics, but then you get into Noctilux, or at least 28/1.4 Nikkor, price territory.
