This is really interesting.

First of all, to explain, the reason why I and many others would think it would be good to just have one mount is because many start with APS-C then go up to 'full frame'. I'm not sure about numbers but I know many full-frame users used to shoot APS-C so being able to bring up some lenses with the 'upgrade' can save on cost. Also, many sports and wildlife photographers prefer APS-C for the reach, but may still want a 'full frame' camera for other purposes, so sharing lenses there can be nice. Same with being able to share lenses between a more compact kit and a more 'professional' kit.

However, from what I'm hearing, many would say that with a drop in 'full frame' prices and an increase in resolution (for cropping), the arguments above lose some of their value.

Thanks for entertaining my curiosity!

There's been alot of talk about this subject.  I only have myself to blame since I basically started it before the EOS R was announced

After writing up your response i decided to take another stab at it and wrote up an article on our site in more detail than my post would offer without peaving people off.
