They say that it's coming in September 2018 and will have the EF mount, with same flange distance...
I'm curious about that, if it's true. The advantage of the same flange distance is obvious. The disadvantage is size. But we know it's not relevant starting from a certain focal length... and - while I'm personally still giving the size feature a fundamental relevance for my switch - slowly but constantly mirrorless cameras are getting larger and heavier... Perhaps Canon thinks that in 2018 that argument won't be really important, and anyway will not focus on attacking Sony on very small combos (such as with some wide and normal lenses).
OTOH, it the rumors are true, I suppose Sony should now come out with some long teles. Rumors actually are starting about that stuff...
