A straight-through adapter like the EF-RF adapter is not possible, but an adapter with optics like the FD-EF mount adapter is possible. And like the FD-EF one, it will be expensive, huge and only there for Canon to say "See, you could if you wanted to!"

None of the EF-M lenses is worth going to this effort and expense. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Right, not adapted. However I’d LOVE to see several more of the EF-M lenses replicated in RF-S mount!

For instance the EF-M 32mm f/1.4 is simply without peer. Small, fast, and extremely sharp even at f/1.4; it’s always in my bag. And the outstanding EF-M 11-22 is absolutely the best crop UWA zoom Canon has ever made.

And if Canon could also duplicate the marvelous Sigma EF-M 16mm f/1.4 and EF-M 56mm f/1.4 lenses I’d be ecstatic. They are excellent wide open as well, and with the 32, outperform all of their entry-level RF “counterparts” (which I do own as well).

Plus there’s the ever-popular EF-M 22mm f/2 pancake. Which I personally would rather see as a contemporary designed f/1.4 (to complement the other fast primes).

I also really love my (excellent) copies of the standard EF-M kit lenses (15-45 and 18-55). Best of all the mid focal length kit lenses I’ve ever owned.

So IMHO if Canon really wanted to get serious with crop RF, they’d do well to continue to port over the already existing EF-M lineup. I’d be easy. Heck, I’d buy them all!

That's pretty much what I'd like to see as well. And a body that has the same pocketability as an M6II, preferably leaving out the token EVF.
