And your point is ?

His point is that EF-EFM adapter exists since the beginning of the EOS M line.

Is the EOS M the successor to Full Frame DSLR, no its not which means that neither you nor he actually read my post very carefully. My post is about a time in the future when Canon introduces the new FF and APS-C mirrorless range as successors to the current DSLRs. At the moment EOS M is a sideline product. The present adapter is a means by which Canon can entice existing DSLR and EF lens owners to buy an EOS M.

Imagine if you will a mirrorless successor to the IDX, and then think about if/ how EF lenses might fit into that scenario. Expecting the flagship range of Canon cameras to have a mirror flapping up and down while other makers have silent 50 fps global shutter FF systems is 'head in the sand'

In your initial post you mention both FF and crop bodies. It doesn't matter if EOS Ms are or are not successors of FF.

Current EF-EFM adapter is just a flange to acquire proper distance to a sensor and a conductor of electrical signals from a body to a lens and vice versa.

It would be the same for FF mirrorless. If Canon will not produce it, someone else will.
