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.

If I had the R and needed an ultra wide angle lens today, I'd get an EF 16-35 f4/f2.8 today; or go to the client and tell them to imagine how their shots would look with an R lens?

Plus apparently they work seamlessly, it's not like you're using an EF lens on a Sony, so it would make perfect sense to me.
