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?

They will still perform just as well on any future RF mount camera as they ever did.

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.

Why would a newcomer to FF world be worrying about old EF lenses if she were not already a vintage lens enthusiast?
