If you're like me, you are probably questioning any new lens purchases (EF or RF mount). With the RF mount looking to be the direction Canon is moving, it seems a little odd to buy new EF lenses and then possibly adapt them in a year or two. It also seems odd to buy an RF lens prior to a viable body being available. That's not a knock on the EOS R, but it just isn't for me. Share your views or thoughts.

Lenses are tools, if you need a tool you buy one. When you no longer need it you ell it.

The more lenses one has the less one thinks about new/better/more exotic lenses. There is a level of saturation where you have a lens for everything, and quit thinking about lenses as particles of acquisition and start thinking about using them for the task at hand.

I, for one, don't give a rats sphincter about the R or its lenses, I happen to like looking through an optical viewfinder, and especially the rapid snick of a dSLR taking a picture.

In any event, the EF line has decades of life left in it. decades.
