As with many stories of this ilk, the news was somewhat expected; nonetheless, it still stings for some of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This information comes to Canon Rumors via the company\u2019s official Japanese website. Some of the factors that probably played into the cancellation of the lenses are the increased labor costs to assemble them by hand (rather than via automation) and the general rise in price\/shortage of component parts in the broader industry the website theorizes. Canon Rumors calls it \u201ctriage\u201d of a sorts and we happen to agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because this is a theme we\u2019ve seen play out multiple times over the past year or so since COVID-19 began. We\u2019ve witnessed a huge move to consolidate product portfolios in the wake of shortages and supply-chain constraints. Just last week, we reported on the end of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/its-the-end-for-sony-a-mount-lenses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sony\u2019s A-Mount lenses<\/a>, and back in November of last week we discussed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/canon-and-nikon-lens-price-hikes-on-the-way\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rising prices<\/a> of Nikon and Canon lenses. It all makes a lot of sense if you\u2019ve watched the trends, not to mention the broader trends over years where we\u2019ve seen huge shifts in the consumer market for cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/supply-chain-issues-may-cause-canon-to-outright-cancel-some-products-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported in October<\/a> of last year that these issues might push Canon to discontinue some products and we\u2019re starting to see that unfold in the months since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, we\u2019d love to know your thoughts on Canon\u2019s discontinuation of the EF and EF-S lenses in the comments below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out some of our other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/category\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">photography news on Light Stalking at this link right here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canonrumors.com\/canon-confirms-discontinuation-of-ef-and-ef-s-lenses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canon<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve got more lens discontinuations to tell you about, and this time it\u2019s Canon.
