I have to say I was keen, especially with the rumours pointing to a great solution for keeping with the EF mount. I knew that wasn't quite impossible, but adapters suck. It's not great at all.
I have a 5DIV and 7D2 and a few L-series lenses. I'm keen to replace my ageing 16-35mmL, and I know that one advantage of mirrorless and is wide angle lenses can be designed better. They don't even make one yet for the RF and am sure it will come.
If I buy any RF lenses, I can't use them on my EF bodies. I think for the time being I won't be buying or replacing my ageing lenses.
Also, there is nothing really there for me to say I have to have - yes it might be smaller and lighter, but lenses are still big and heavy, and that is not going to change. In body stabilisation would have been great, drench proof rather then weatherproof would have been great too.
The reality is that Canon (and Nikon) are about 10 years late with mirrorless.
