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 continue to take issue with "that might also become not 100% working with future camera releases" as far as Canon EF lenses are concerned. Third party manufacturers are of course in a different situation.
I'm mostly talking about 3rd party lenses. And it's a "maybe". There's also the potential issues of EF lenses that already happened (some are "too old" and not fully compatible with max specs), how about some other canon lenses that might become "too old" for some next gen R camera? I mean, we're talking about a system that it's going to be left behind after all. My point is that these are just questions that a newcomer to FF world might raise, when comparing Canon to other manufacturers. No need for "evidence" or whatsoever.
We'll see. I just ordered the Tap-In Console to update to the latest firmware for my Tamron 100-400/4.5-6.3. I bought this lens brand new in 2018 but there was a firmware update in Feb. 2019 which I just found out the other day.
So far all my Canon EF lenses (with the exception of 16-35/4 L IS which I have yet to try) are spot on with its AF performance on the R6MKII.
