There's a pretty simple reason for this: ef-s lenses are designed for a smaller sensor, so they only need to be sharp for a much smaller area. So you can make lighter and cheaper lenses. Canon doesn't want people putting ef-s lenses on full frame cameras and complaining that the image edges look like crap - because, well, they're not meant for that.

- turtletontine 5y agoHmm I doubt it would look like a fisheye. The edges would appear darkened and soft, and there would maybe be extra barrel or pincushion distortion.
