Make some history happen

I have every belief that ML bodies can be made to work full function with EF lenses through adapters.  Furthermore aps-c ML bodies using focal reduction adapters will open a whole new horizon of performance for these lenses.

I would not wish ML smply as a size advantage but day by day, month by month, ML bodies have overhauled the dslr body in almost every way and in my opinion the evf is now already good enough to hammer in the last nail.

ML bodies can be smaller but EF lenses can go on forever and with extension tubes that seem part of the camera body can provide an extension by focal reduction of aps-c sensors.

The new M5 is just "screaming" for a focal reduction adapter for EF lenses.

What seems to be "just a 80D clone" could be quite a camera to be reckoned with and therefore surprisingly good buying.  Come on Canon, I dare you ....  make some history happen.
