I think EF lenses are on a death watch. From a business perspective, I don't foresee Canon supporting both EF and RF lenses very long. However, Canon needs to produce some much better EOS R cameras to ensure the success of the platform. I'm not impressed with the EOS R.

I'm curious how things pan out.  My plan is to wait a few years and see how things go.  At the end of that time, my 6D2 and EF lenses will basically be worthless if Canon stops making DSLRs and EF lenses.  So, if I'm starting from scratch, I'll decide then whether I stay with Canon, switch systems, or go dual systems (perhaps Canon for the RF 50 / 1.2L, rumored 24 / 1.2L, and EF compatibility, and likely Nikon for everything else).

In the meantime, it's understood that what I currently have is already [way] overkill for my photography, so no worries one way or another.
