how can I put a rf lens on to a efm

[RTX 3070 I7 11800h]

hello. I was looking on the internet (lovely internet) for a new lens and came across canon rumor's. They are slowly zoning out the ef???!??!. Ok that wont effect me (Below that link) 

They are zoning out eos m?!??! noooo.

 

That was me when I saw that and the only option was rf. so how do I put a rf on a efm. Or do I have to buy a rf cause thats expensive.

You can't, stick to EF lenses or get an RF body.

Well huh? ef is slowly going away and so is efm. One last question, ive had the m50 since december 2020 when will it be time to upgrade to a rp.

EF can go on EF-m or on RF
RF can only go onto RF

EF-m is only for EF-M

3-5 years is normally when I'd look at changing bodies but I do this as a side gig and as a hobby so I can spend some money to make more
I know some people who still shoot everything paid on a pair of 2012 5dmk3

I wonder if you can stick an RF-to-EF adapter into an EF-to-EOSm adapter  

 

edit: im dumb, no RF-toED afaptors out there...

I was thinking of that.

due to the flange distances, I dont think RF-to-EF is a thing, and that would be bulky as hell

yeah thats isn't confirmed yet. and thats for 1st part glass.
but I'd really doubt any more EF-M bodies

maybe another EF body in the low to midrange

thats why I want to switch over to a rf as fast as I can ( A 2-3 years) cause right now the m50 is 3 years old which is nothing but in 2-3 years its gonna be outdated with 1080p.

[For Science!]

Just because they stop producing new EF or EOS-M lenses or bodies, doesn't change how they perform, so just get what you need. Don't reach for the RF ecosystem if you don't have the means to do it comfortably. Also at that point you should also give other brands some thought as you will be buying new bodies and lensses.

other than not buying in EF-M glass them stopping making them won't change anything. RF doesn't have enough lenses and doesn't have 3rd party support yet
I'd still buy EF glass

I think im comfortable with canon if you could. Mention some cool bodies to me I want to start getting into video a lot more so maybe 50% photography 50% video camera. good af would be nice to.

Second hand EOS Rp, anything else is probably way out of your budget for now.

There aren't many RF bodies at the moment anyway, so choose you pick:

 

Rp

R

Ra

R5

R6

 

I would recommend looking at the price tag first

for video work I'm not a fan of the RP because of its crop

Fair comment, although maybe if video was the focus maybe something out of Sony would be better at that price range.

there is 5 bodies on RF mount and only 3 are likely in your range. RP, R and R6
first gen R/Ra Rp
2nd gen R3 R5 R6

the Panasonic S5 would be near the top, if you can deal with the not great AF. A7iii needs an update with better video options
