Wait for next version and more lenses

I will probably get the next version of the R once it is on sale refurbished and there is a wider selection of relatively light and small lenses like the 35 1.8. The price is now too high with few advantages over my 1-year old 5D4. I would like to see a good implementation of eye focus, better AF tracking and IBIS. Higher resolution would also be expected for the next version.

R lenses I would like to see from Canon or third party are a more compact 16-35 f4 as good as the EF version, a good 50 1.4, and pancake options within the 24-35 range.

The only disadvantage I see with the 5D4 is that it is heavier and larger than what I wanted. It may take 3 to 5 years before a get a new camera.
