Yes, yes, i got all that. But you still have not answered the core question - why would I want to buy a has-been M lens to go on my spiffy new R? BTW, I own two M lenses, and they are quite good ...

So, I would buy an R camera, presumably FF, and then mount reheated leftovers from the previous night on it? Why would I do that?

Right. I'm gonna plunk down two grand on a FF ML camera so that I can install all that undeniably glorious EF-S glass. I wish you unbridled satisfaction in that endeavor.

Maybe...but 15 years after the introduction of the mount, it still has no native, Canon AF lenses faster than f/2.8. Fifteen years.

You're kidding, right?

You figure some of them are pining after a fast native prime. EF-M: 2, EF-S: 0.

Canon has not yet deigned to give them a lens faster than f/2.8, while it has blessed EF-M now with a f/1.4 lens.

No one said I cannot do it. In fact, I have done it. I said, I prefer not to do it. Why is this so difficult for you to fathom and accept? Why is it that we are the ones found wanting, when it is ...

I hauled the 24-70LII (and a Canon telefoto zoom lens) through Iberia for three months. I bicycle tour. Endurance and physical fitness are not issues. Travelling fast, and light, and not carrying ...

Lower weight, price & size

Ummm....I own and like the 24-70/2.8LII.

...i would first buy an updated, upgraded 24-70/4LIS over a 24-70/2.8LIS.

The best bokeh is the one you don't need. Lots of images dumbed down by the obliteration of the background. Lazy, lazy, lazy.

Hi Wayne, thanks...yes, I have to admit to the M having more than good enough IQ, and I did most of my shooting with the original M, though I took the M3 to Mexico. This is all to say that I hat ...

...I moved back to EOS-EF.

Gotta work now on unblocking my credit card...

Is the Canon EOS R my path unblocker?

I simply want to know for a fact. That is likely not legitimate for you. No worries, no problem. Others will get to it eventually. Cheers...

Your prerogative, but the fact remains that it remains untested so your assertion is just that, not a verifiable fact.
