Canon Rumors was thinking (hoping?!) and publishing that the mount for Canon's full-frame mirrorless body was going to be identical to the mount found on Canon's existing full-frame DSLRs...and was therefore going to use the existing white lenses natively.
actually I wrote that article. That time was crazy, there was so many rumors coming into the website, with contradicting information. We / I wrote that article to help shake out some other sources to give more detailed information. Which it did. it was after that article, that we got the first real information on the EOS R.
The story behind that though is that there was a very credible source that said he used the new canon full frame mirrorless cameras with EF lenses, with no adapter.
I actually went back and re-read what I wrote on that article (on August 30th, not the day of the announcement, btw), and I actually got most of what I wrote right. The RF mount does dual switch between the EF/RF mount protocol, and the only thing I wrote that was wrong was that EF mount lenses will mount and I didn't say - "with an adapter". Everything else was accurate.
Your article was good. So good that I remember reading it. I'm surprised I didn't get more wrong than I did.
If you have something to do with the content of Canon Rumors
I help CR out at times, we know each other, so at times when he's swamped or needing a break, i take a break from CN and help out on CR.
