Of course this should be in the Rumours forum.

What continually mystifies me is the move to slower and slower lenses. The big advantage to mirrorless, originally touted, was the ease of making faster and lighter lenses. Now Canon is favouring slow mediocre lenses instead.

The originally (12 years ago or so) touted advantage to mirrorless was smaller and lighter lenses. Then Canon got shouted at because their 50mm and 85mm f/1.2 and 28-70mm f/2 lenses and all the other L lenses were far too big and expensive. They've obviously been listening to their customers.
