Very nice!  I love the 35 macro, definitely one of my favorite lenses.  Keep enjoying your new rig!

I don't think the lenses I want will be available for a bit but I'm sure eventually mine will be RF as well

From what I have seen Canon really listens to pros so I believe that the size of the 20-200 mk3 might be to serve a large group of pros using them on 1dx mk2 's and such where small size isn't a ...

It'll certainly be interesting to see what happens.

I have yet to hear any compelling explanation for telephoto lenses being able to be made smaller with the RF mount than EF.  I think the announced RF 70-200 could probably be smaller if it was for ...

How would that work in this case?  Also what would be the possible benefit of making such a lens RF mount?

I don't imagine they will last long.

Why do you think RF would be less expensive?

Definitely, especially if it is a 600mm f/5.6 DO IS USM

Did they say "very soon" or it's on the road map along with 8k video?  I have a funny feeling that we won't see IBIS on the next R but I would love to be surprised.

I imagine some pesky patents will expire soon and Canon will be back in line with Sony in that area.

Are you referring to the Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) or doo-doo the brown smelly stuff?

Probably I'm wrong but I thought I read that it was EF lenses that were on hold.  I don't remember reading anything about DSLR's

Yep, I've got money waiting for a 7d mk3 I'd Canon ever releases it.

None of the bodies you listed are terribly compelling to me and I definitely didn't buy an 80d for video.  It is important to keep in mind that there are lots of different types/styles of ...

With the increasing automation in production the price might still be very competitive.

I don't know if I need it but I definitely would buy it.  That Nikon 500PF is darn attractive.

Sounds very rigid to me.  I don't believe the established focal length ranges are magic at all.  Also a 24-105mm FF lens on a crop body is still a 25-105mm lens.  It is no different than having ...

I didn't realize photography was such a rigid practice.

Make the body for the lens out of polycarbonate and take advantage of the short flange distance and I don't think it would be so huge and heavy.
