I'm thankful that I've got to buy my Canon RF  gear , though it cost me an Arm and a Leg and more . The EOS R5 body in 2020 cost me a bit less than the EOS 5DSR body in 2015 . The EOS R5 has IBIS and a much better sensor . My RF 100 mm MACRO lens was more expensive than the EF version , though I can trust that Canon will be in Business for a long period . When Contax was manufactured by Kyocera , I invested in expensive Carl Zeiss lenses ( N mount )  , just to see Contax cease operations . I think that the Contax N mount Carl Zeiss 16-35 mm F2.8 Zoom cost me a little less at that time than the RF 15-35 mm F2.8 L IS USM costs nowadays . With the Carl Zeiss there was the weight issue , the lack of IS and a filter thread of 100 mm . The overall camera market is shrinking and there's nothing that can be done about that . Smaller Market = increased costs per unit . The majority of Camera manufacturers can't hide their losses from shareholders .
