Of course, that's the eventual fate. But you think that Canon is cutting the cord right now?

yes. I believe so. if they go back to EF production in 2020, Olympic year, they have failed and I don't believe that will happen.

Canon has given us a glimpse of the lenses it can produce with the new mount, and they want us to upgrade to those lenses. those RF lenses are superior to current L lenses, and that's saying a lot.

Canon not only says no work will be done on EF lenses for 2019. they aren't offering a road map. the writing is on the wall.

also, I believe one day canon will kill EF protocol on its mirrorless body and of course they'll have a slick excuse as to why they are doing you a favor. I also believe we'll wake up one morning and adobe will have doubled the price of the creative cloud subscription. I know i'll be mad but i'll pay it.

I do not think that even they know where they will go in the near future. They are playing a double game now and want to see where the wind will blow. CR posted some rumors indicating that.

Before they have a competent sports R camera, the big whites will be EF.
