I am in the process of leaving behind my ef lenses. Don’t have an Rf body, but considered it last time around. Personally, I am not too excited about 3rd party lenses of the sigma type, however, the tamron lenses for Sony has really changed the calculus imo. Particularly the 28-200 and the 35-150. These are lenses that exceed oem offerings, and that is quite spectacular.

I think canons release cycle would benefit from 3rd party,

It hurt but I decided to get in the R train and sold all my EF gear. If I had several big expensive whites I may have chosen a different path. I also believe the extra 4 transmission pins are doing something for me. New flange design improves IQ. There is nothing wrong with an adapter and IQ is still  good but it moves the back element of the lens further from the sensor. The opposite of the intent of the new design which moves it closer to the sensor. I'm glad I did it.
