What is the point to specifically go through the trouble of getting RF lenses to adapt to sony if you will be missing a major chunk of what that camera can do. I mean the only reason would be for something sony don't have. Like the 50 f1.2. And if you went that way, it would be a shame to place a 2.5k lens like that on a body that essentially cripples the lens.

The main reason for me wanting to adapt RF glass to a Sony is my long term plan to ditch my A7 cameras when Canon release their pro grade mirrorless cameras in 2020/2021.

The Sony A7rII, A7rIII and probably the A7rIV (unless Canon surprise us) have only ever been a stop gap for me and I've continued to buy Canon EF glass and adapt so adapting RF glass would have been my preference if it were possible.
