There are 3 APSc cameras already and ZERO RF-s prime lenses or interesting zooms like the M 11-22mm. No even a roadmap to speculate.

My take is Canon does not want to create competition or risk its full-frame share.

If they produce f1.4 compact and affordable APS-c lenses, why upgrade? They had great M-mount lenses because there was no full-frame M market to risk.

They know R7 users are happy with full-frame lenses so R10 and R50 bodies are just a way to get people into the Canon ecosystem, maybe some will upgrade to full-frame, or simply keep those “Best Buy” kits for their Disney family holidays.

I believe is the exact same thinking as Nikon with their Z50, I wonder what do you think?

Yup.

But that Best Buy kit is no joke without a f/1.4 prime. I know as a former M50 II + 15-45 and 55-200 owner. That combo can capture the majority of moments. Besides, we have the nifty fifty. Arguably “the” budget prime to get And turns into a fierce portrait popper on crop. Rebel days all over again…

My best friend has an M50 with the 15-45 and he manages to create pretty cool images with his kit.

Canon do not need to come with anything revolutionary, they already have a collection of sweet M lenses, why not simply adapt them to RF mount? lots of people will be happy.

You may get your wish. That’s the rumor (22 and 11-22 conversion this year)

And the full-frame 40mm pancake... in white
