 EOS stands for Electro Optical System. It's also the name of the Greek goddess of the dawn. Canon’s EOS system debuted alongside its EF-series of interchangeable lenses in March 1987 as the world’s first fully-electronic mount system for silver halide film autofocus single lens reflex (SLR) cameras. The EOS series launched with the EOS 650. It heralded a new generation of AF SLR cameras that adopted the world's first electronic mount system achieving full electronic control of the entire system.

Canon has reached a new lens-manufacturing milestone with the production in January 2021 of the company’s 150-millionth interchangeable lens for EOS cameras— an RF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS USM lens. Production of interchangeable EF lenses for EOS cameras began in 1987. EF lens production passed the 10-million mark in 1995 and crossed the 50-million-unit threshold in 2009. In April 2014, the company celebrated its first-in-the-world achievement of having manufactured 100 million interchangeable lenses. Laid end-to-end, all of the RF and EF lenses Canon has manufactured so far would measure approximately 7,736 miles in length — nearly equivalent to the Earth’s diameter of approximately 7,917 miles.
