Last year I managed to pick up a bargain M100 along with the standard zoom lenses. I'm enjoying using the camera enough that I'm planning to sell my 70D and start saving towards a FF mirrorless setup. At the minute I'm mostly using adapted EF-S glass with the camera and although it adds bulk I'm happy enough with it.

Seeing the suggested roadmap forward for Canon lenses, I'm concerned about the support of the M series moving forward. Obviously the focus is on the RF system.

Is it worth investing in more M glass? Should I be steering clear and trying to sell my M lenses before they lose value - if they will?

Thanks

This topic has been discussed here for several times now. And in my last contribution I was also sceptical, therefore I made short-time-tests of two Fuji cameras (since I don't want to enter FF).

My conclusion: I will stick with Canon M, to my mind it's the best compromise concerning size, weight, IQ, color rendering and costs.

I will be ready to accept the "small steps" (if they ever come) by Canon in progressing this system. I will invest in more M glass.

But it is clear, the roadmap for RF is (more) impressive. So it becomes more and more difficult to answer the question, if it is worth investing in more M glass.
