The M line had one advantage over the R line, and that was the 22 mm F/2 lens.

M line has 4 advantages over RF-S which are

  • 22 f/2.0
  • 32 f/1.4.
  • 11-22
  • Sigma trio

The fourth is a disadvantage as Canon sees it. I'd say the fourth is the 28mm f/3.5 IS.

I would be very tempted to buy a R7 if Sigma made the trio with O rings on the mounts for the R7 like they do for other camera bodies that feature weather resistance.

O rings would be nice if there were enough flat surfaces on the RF mount for them to seal onto, as they're user replaceable, unlike the rubber skirts on my weather protected L lenses. Give Sigma time and they'll do it, but remember that it took them decades to get the simpler EF mount protocols right. Personally, I don't rely on any seal that hasn't inspected within the last year or so.
