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 problem is that there's no middle ground. You either pony up for some high-end glass, like those f1.2 lenses, or you get very slow mediocre (at best) lenses. Maybe we'll see them at some point in the future? Along with some good crop zooms?
