Nice images man , thanks for sharing.

I own the RF 35 too, and I enjoy the hell out off it

Likewise.

I have a nasty confession; I'm mulling keeping the R (that is going back to the M50). The R+RF 35 is awesome, but, mount anything else adapted and alot of the allure of the R vanishes.

The RF35mm by itself though mounted on an R, is sheer awesomesomeness.

I don't think mounting other lenses even adapted is a problem.

Maybe size wise , but i find that my older EF lenses perform better on The R.

So an added bonus there I think

I quite like the adapter with the control ring btw. I do find that mounting EF lenses to the adapter is far more wonky than mounting lenses to say my old 5DIII or EOS M50; something about mounting and unmounting lenses from the adapter, just harder to do.

For me, I'm reconsidering due to sheer bulk vs performance and maturity of the mount. Vs say the M system, the M system is fun with it's lightweight footprint and mature system; it has a native lens offering for most things. The R on the other hand, is an infant. No RF 50mm f/1.4, no RF 16-35 f/4 IS USM, no RF 70-300 DO IS USM. And these lenses may be some ways away.

It's got me seriously thinking as I'm swapping lenses less often, taking the camera out less often. It's like going back to a 5D, it gets left behind...

It's only when I have the R+RF 35 at home, that it truly gets used-used easily and frequently. Mounting even the 70-300 DO is a pain. Easier than a 100-400, but it's still a pain.

Ok that is personal preference I gues.

I don't have the same findings.

And when I realy want to go light, I take my M5 with the 18-150 mm lens.

To each his own…
