Maybe all of them ... I have 12 or so EF lenses, including some L zooms plus 8 EF-M lenses. If they aren't already discontinued I suspect they will be in the not too distant future. I also have several bodies, all of which are now discontinued.

Do they all work? Absolutely and all are in pristine condition. And since my current equipment meets my needs I'm in no hurry to upgrade to the latest and greatest ... just patiently watching the evolution of digital photography.

Hello JRET, same here, relaxing with my discontinued EF lenses...

In the last few months, always contemplated this inevitable move to RF mount...

Now patiently waiting on the sidelines...

I have decided I will now upgrade from EF -> RF when the Mark ii of the current L new RF lenses are available, and the Mark iii of the current R bodies are also available...

Don't want and cannot pay such a premium for the newest thing...

My 90s tech EF 50 F/1.4 USM, EF 100 F/2 USM and EF 135 F/2 work 100% fine

My newer lenses EF 28 F/2.8 IS, EF 35 F/2 IS, EF 24-104 F/4 IS Mk ii also work fine

And I am in the process of getting a pristine 2nd hand EF 100-400 Mk ii

I guess I am good to go with my EF lenses for another 5 to 10 yr

Kind rgds, Gaul
