I moved to mirrorless and purchased an R7 and am pleased with my decision. I have been looking at an evaluating some of the new RF versions. My confusion come with the reviews... one will state excellent, lighter weight and better sharpness. Another states unimpressed, barrel hard to turn, and loses focus.
I would like to hear from HH'ers what they think. I have EF 50, EF 24-70 f4, and EF 70-200 f4.
If I switched to RF, I would upgrade from f4 to f2.8.
Just like to hear from someone that owns one.
Thanks

Hi, I moved from the 5D Mark III to the R6 Mark II, I used my EF lenses with the adapter and other than adding a little more length and weight the lenses worked without a problem. I had a Tamron 150-600 G2 lenses which worked very well, it was heavy and a little slower at focusing than when on the 5D MK III. I saved and bought the RF 100-500 and never looked back. I also picked up a used RF 24-105 and glad I did. After having EF and RF lenses, changing from an EF to Rf lenses was a little extra step since the adapter was in use, so I got rid of all but 2 of my EF lenses, I kept the Tamron 17-35 and the Canon EF 85. I found that for focusing and sharpness, in humble my opinion there is very little difference. I agree with the above, rent an RF lenses and make your own observations. Good luck and happy shooting, enjoy the R7.
