This is probably a little off the wall, but take a look again at the diagram for the 800mm f/11: https://cweb.canon.jp/eos/rf/lineup/rf80...uction.png
Couldn't Canon take the same exact lens, and extend it less by the difference in the focal flange distance between the EF-s mount and the RF mount and make the same lens available for the Canon 7D Mk-ii/ 70D/ 80D / 90D? Hopefully they could use an EF/s mount because the imager circle for the APS-C is a lot smaller than for the FF sensor. Then use it in live view for shots with and angle of view of 800mm x 1.6 or 1280mm? Yes, I know it isn't going to happen but imagine all that reach! If it could AF in live view that would interesting to try.
Would the 7D Mkii would be able to focus and track? I don't see why we DSLR guys should miss out on everything!
