I think it *would* make sense to make these lenses EOS-compatible (meaning EF mount compatible) because: - It would mean that the old lenses are compatible with digital cameras. - Even if the maximum aperture is larger (say f2) in digital use the system could limit it to be smaller (e.g. f2.8) in film bodies. In this case the lens probably wouldn't be much if any smaller than the current lenses but they could be cheaper because the corner performance at f2 wouldn't need to be that good.
