Just a thought, ….could Canon slowly phase out the compatibility of EF lenses on future RF bodies…

...to increase new sales revenue from RF lenses?

…are the EF lenses we own, that make the transition to RF affordable, a problem to Canon and will they phase out the compatibilityover time?

Tech advances and leaves the old behind so long term I’m sure after there is a robust R mount catalogue Canon will discontinue the adapter and EF lens compatibility will become less of a sure thing. We see this all the time in other CE categories. Canon isn’t going to pull the plug, it’s just going to not consider EF compatibility in whatever the next Gen products at the time is, say like a R5 IV. The EF adapter was always intended as a temporary bridge to R.
