Ten years later, we can see the writing on the wall. Canon is attempting to close an unfortunate chapter in their history, has shifted back to 54 mm lenses with the RF mount, is now producing APS-C cameras in the R line, and will in short order discontinue the M line because it simply does not make economic sense to continue to make three different lens mounts. As it stands, Canon has released no new M lenses in four years.

...

Why do you call this chapter unfortunate?

Unfortunate for whom?

They have sold millions of M bodies and lenses and it's not finished yet: people are still buying them, most users only buy the kit (body + kit lens), they don't care about the mount diameter or a possible extension.

I think many forum users here worry too much about the future generally and more particularly about gear they are going to buy next... instead of enjoying their actual gear and taking pictures.
