Re: RF 28-70 F2 or RF 24-70 F2.8 IS?

Just bumping this thread because of the upcoming announcement of this lens and other new RF lenses.

I am waiting for two things from Canon: this RF 24-70 f2.8L and an advanced R body (and the performance data and reviews for both). Good to see one of these is coming out soon. If this lens is reviewed to be superior to the EF24-70 f2.8L ii, then I will wait to see the advanced body, and if that is reviewed well, then I will get both.

But if there is no improvement over the EF 24-70 f2.8L ii, then I will look for a Canon fire sale for retailers to reduce stock on EF lenses, and pick one up (and maybe one or two more EF lenses) because it will work fine with my 5D4 and can be adapted to my current A7R3 and any future Sony bodies (should the advanced R be a disappointment).

And the wait continues.
