I hope it's a RF 50mm f1.4 or cheaper RF 17-40mm f4L equivalent

I would continue to use my EF 11-24. The drop-in filter adapter is very useful and a far better solution than the dinner plate filters (which I don’t have) needed for a lens without a real rear filter option. If an RF 10-24 was available without a drop-in filters and I didn’t already have the EF 11-24, I’d buy the latter anyway.We need a 10-24!!! Period!
The EF-RF drop in filter adapter certainly keeps the EF12-24 relevant in this RF world, we now live in. That's why you see almost no used bargain pricing for the 12-24.I would continue to use my EF 11-24.

Same goes for my TS-E 17. I do have the salad plate filters for that, and the DI filter is sooooo much better.
That is why Canon made the Focal Reducer Adaptor for the C70. So they don't have to make a bunch of dedicated s35 lenses. On the flip side, the latest R5 update includes support for the existing s35 Compact Servo cine zooms to support the very good APS-c video from the R5. AFAIK, the the focal reducer also works with the R5, but doesn't (yet at least) have the level of support that it does for the C70.Yes, because he mentioned wanting a lens for Super35 (e.g., the Cinema EOS C70). But I doubt we’ll see a lens like that.
Many of them can barely afford a phone (or have a free one issued by the govt) and under different aliases disparage all brands because they can't afford any.It’s amazing to me how many people seem to get so much satisfaction disparaging brands they don’t prefer as opposed to using the ones they do, or have.
Why not do something at least remotely constructive?
Yes I suspect you are correct, and In that case my suggestion would be to spend less time spewing and go get a job!Many of them can barely afford a phone (or have a free one issued by the govt) and under different aliases disparage all brands because they can't afford any.
Yes, in many cases it makes a lot more sense to use adapted EF lenses. Sometimes the RF versions offer superior sharpness, but it's worth asking whether we'd actually notice the difference if photographing anything other than a test chart. Sometimes the RF versions are more compact, but that may be because they extend when zooming or focusing, and it's arguable that "extending" lenses are more prone to suck in moisture or fine dust. Sometimes the RF versions focus closer, but it's worth asking whether that abilty is worth the usually considerably higher asking price.I would continue to use my EF 11-24.

Well, I guess that won't bother you anymore given you have "just dumped my R6, RP and RF glass because I was tired of waiting for quality lenses that didnt cost $2500", and have headed off to the Sony Promised Land.Oh good. As soon as its announced, they will say that demand has far exceeded their expectations and there will be a delay. So maybe you'll get it in 2024!
I don't mind variable aperture lenses, and I also like the idea of them being faster than Canon has been making them recently. One of my all-time favorite lenses is the Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4 for APS-C. I rarely shoot that wide, in fact I'm an "f/8 and be there" guy, having learned photography in the 1980's with a Canon AV-1. But I like the size and weight of the larger aperture lens. I have long fingers and it handles well on both my 7D Mark II and a6400 (with an adapter, of course).Since I`m not interested in any of the "not-yet-released-or-announced-lenses" on CR’s roadmap, I'm hoping for a lense that is such a huge surprise that absolutely nobody could’ve seen it coming. Something like a 35-135mm F2.8-4 or an 50-105mm F2-2.8 zoom or just something with a crazy feature or a killer astro lense (RF 12mm F2 where are you?)
Yeah. RF 14-21/1.4 where are you?Since I`m not interested in any of the "not-yet-released-or-announced-lenses" on CR’s roadmap, I'm hoping for a lense that is such a huge surprise that absolutely nobody could’ve seen it coming.

Pancakes please, even one....not greedy.
