Won't you agree that the average canon R user would feel a bit "meh" knowing that s/he had to plug the damn adapter for his brand new midrange lenses, that might also become not 100% working with future camera releases? And do you think that Sigma and Tamron are really planning their future line up under these circumstances?

I don't feel even a tiny bit "meh" about the adapter; it lets me use most of my lenses on my DSLR and my small (EOS M) cameras too.

I do. Especially if I had to buy a new lens. I just ordered my first RF lens (24-105 f4L) and I'm looking forward to its compact and lighter size, sticking the adapter on another lens instead of the body. I don't mind the adapter on smaller lenses like my sigma 50 or canon 100mm f2, but for my mostly used, all-around lens I certainly do (of course, given there's the choice of not using it).

Are either of us the average canon R user?  The adapter lived on the camera for the first couple of years, so effectively I had an EF mount EOS R.
