I noticed that Rudy Winston made a point of saying that the new f/11 lenses will autofocus on the R5 and R6. That immediately suggested to me that they may not autofocus with, say, the R. This could have something to do with the new Digic processor. If so, kind of a drag.

I was more interested in the new lenses than either new camera. If I decide to splurge it will probably be more in the direction of the 100-500L than the R5, at least this year.

They said the bare lenses would AF on any R system camera, but you'd need an R5/6 to use the 1.4x or 2x extenders.
