oh boy DSLR are dying faster than i thought...
not a SINGLE EF lens in 2019?!
not even a new 50mm .... how much longer must people wait for a new L 50mm?
Aren't the Mk III versions of the 300 and 500 due out this year?

You have a point here, but consider the market for these Big Whites. Many photographers investing in these lenses will be happier knowing that they will be 100% compatible with EOS R, and some of the updates will include allowing the Big Whites to use all the R features, including that great spread of AF points, even with an extender.Aren't the Mk III versions of the 300 and 500 due out this year?
Are they seriously not going to put IBIS in the R bodies? That’s ridiculous.
And you keep getting the same nice results from a top L lens. Now if they make an EF 24-70 2.8L IS that is at least equal to the II version I might reconsider
I should say "compact-er". Looking at the back of the EF version, I'm not sure how they can take advantage of there being no mirror in the way—if you enlarge that inner-most piece of glass and bring it closer it runs out out of wiggle room pretty quickly. Maybe they should have made the mount 60 mm wide!I'm afraid the need to deliver a larger image circle, and the mechanism to move optics precisely while keeping them aligned works against compactness. Shift only may lead to a less bulky lens, but when adding the tilt and rotating mechanisms, the lens becomes bulkier. I prefer a more versatile lens than a compact but less versatile one, especially since most of the time it will be used on a tripod.

Man, I took so much flack on this forum for saying this here 90 days ago!
Yeah I know, a little excitable I admit. What I love about it is the lean compact size of the thing and the intuitive controls. It's those things that I live with day to day, so assuming the image quality is as good as the 5Div, I'm very happy. Yeah I wish it had two slots, and I wish they hadn't got rid of internal AND plug-in intervalometers with the R….Not trying to be a smart Alec, but if you can't yet mount a lens on it how do you know you love it?
Not really.If Canon is going to stick with lens IS then they need to make all their lenses with IS. Just that simple.
I think it will be a fine camera.Yeah I know, a little excitable I admit. What I love about it is the lean compact size of the thing and the intuitive controls.

Except that you weren't saying this. You were claiming that the existing lens models would suddenly become obsolete if Canon were to introduce a new mount.CR Guy says, "The EF lens lineup is going to take a backseat to the RF line for the foreseeable future."

There is no such thing as "forever".the old folks here who shot with canon for 50+ years know best......
they also say canon will make flapping mirror DSLR cameras forever. just like kodak will produce film forever.
well at least the name lives on....
Quote me on that. I used terms such a "glide path," etc. I spoke in terms of a couple of years EF models would start being discontinued. I had questions before the release about the performance and acceptance of an adapter. Many of you we're sure the new mirrorless body would just be another EF model.Except that you weren't saying this.

How else would you explain the whole topic that you started?Quote me on that.
In the current rumor: "We’ve also been told that an EF version of such a lens is also in the works. "I used terms such a "glide path," etc. I spoke in terms of a couple of years EF models would start being discontinued.

We’re now told that the RF version of the 24-70mm f/2.8L IS will come ahead of an EF version. Though the source did say that it’s possible the EF version never comes,
On sensor image stabilization is something that Canon didn’t include because of cost and target market (again this camera was not really designed for pro video work)
