I bought the 7DII back in 2014 when it was released. I have used one EF-s lens on it the 10-22mm and that has not been often. I want reach and the lens that is on it the most has been the 100-400mm. If they are to release a mirror less crop sensor camera geared towards sports and wildlife shooters I see no need to release RF crop lenses to go with it. If someone wants to go wide they can use adapter and EF-s lenses. I would purchase the camera at the right price even if they announce there will never be a crop mount lens in RF mount.

I could adapt EF-S lenses to a R7 and be perfectly happy for APS-C only lenses. I don't need RF-S type lenses. I would be interested in the RF zooms. I have the RF 24-240 lens I use on an R. Its center sharpness is very good, AF is very fast and the IS is superb. I think it would make a heck of a lens to match to an R7 type camera having an effective range of 38-384mm. If Canon offers a Rebel type APS-C RF mount camera then this is where I think APS-C specific RF lenses would be needed. Not many but an EF-S 10-18mm, 55-250mm STM and a medium zoom kit lens equivalents. The FF RF lenses could fill in from there.

I would also buy an R7 right after it has been vetted for 2-3 months.
