Hi all,

A couple of months ago I asked what mount you wanted for Canon's upcoming professional full frame mirrorless camera. The majority voted for EF although it was close. What I want now want to know is what you now think it will be, not what you want it to be.

So, what mount do you THINK it will be?

From a non-technical perspective, it has to be EF so that people can leverage a large collection of EF lenses that they already have.

Question: if EF-M mount is used and that EF-M --> EF adapter is used, what are the down sides of using EF lenses on EF-M mount FF mirrorless besides the added size of the adapter?

Unless Canon releases a ton of EF-M lenses with the FF MILC camera body, we might as well weld the adapter to it.  Even though the mount is capable of covering a FF sensor I doubt the current EF-M lenses will work on a FF camera.
