While I agree that the future is mirrorless, I use lots of Canon glass on my Fuji mirrorless with a Fringer adapter. There's no reason to sell the glass.

I am not sure why you say that lenses for DSLRs are different than lenses for mirrorless cameras. Same lens, just using an adapter.

Exactly. Most of the current mirrorless lenses are just the exact same design with the adapter built-in so they are the same size and weight. I can't see the used price of these 70-200mm f/2.8...

It's a mechanical item that has to actuate each time. By the way, remove it and you can see exaclty how your picture will appear before you take it. I am surprised you don't realize that.

The Sports indicator means it's sealed against weather conditions. Like all lenses it's not 100% sealed to the worst weather, but it does give you protection, more than the basic lens.

Flange distance is completely irrelevant when you use an adapter. It will produce the same image on mirrorless as it will on DSLR. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
