Re: Future of Canon M Series - Invest or Sell?

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

If you find the available bodies and native lenses to be satisfying, or if you don’t have a problem with adapting lenses, then I’d say go for it. Even if Canon discontinued the system, you’ll still enjoy what you have and keep using it until it eventually breaks.

If you like the Eos m system, there’s nothing wrong in buying the native lenses you need and shoot with them. You’re not gonna wait to see wether Canon stops production and eventually see prices go down and then buy. Purchase what you see you’ll enjoy using and that’s it.

It is amazing how a lens hood can give an air of professionalism to whatever kit I may have.
