Explosively unlikely. Even if FF mirrorless body was coming and it was a thin flange design as you suggest (certainly plausible), you wouldn't first come out with a lens that does not showcase the size savings. The opening lenses for a thin flange mirrorless platform would undoubtedly be small f/2.8 primes of modest FLs and a slow f/4 (or possibly variable aperture) standard zoom. A 70-200 f/2.8 lens would be a 2nd or 3rd wave of lenses Canon would release. It's a vital lens for photographers, don't get be wrong, but you'd just use a nearly identically sized EF mount 70-200 f/2.8L IS II on an adaptor until Canon deems us fit for a mirrorless-mount version.
Ditboy said:IMHO it would be ridiculous to make a mirrorless body with the same flange distance just for EF lenses. If EF lenses can function really well on a Sony, Canon should be able to make an adaptor that preserves all function and speed. Then start the conversion of their lens line up to mirrorless as current lenses come up for redesign.
You are starting an entirely different topic here. Just start another thread on this topic and you'll have 10 responses in an hour on this. It's probably the #1 thing we debate here these days.
