Just picked up the RP, will the EF 24-105 be all right or should I pay nearly triple for the RF?

In Germany, if you buy the RP and within 30 days or so you also buy the RF 24-105 f4 from an official European dealer, then you will get 200,- Euros cash-back

a couple of months ago, I bought the RP with adapter from amazon.de for 1100,- Euros minus 100,-Euros instant cash-back. At that time, the RF was around 1130,-Euros at amazon.de but I found the lens on Amazon in Spain for 1000,- Euros. Then applied for the cash-back and at the end the RP with adapter and the RF 24-100 f4 cost me 1800,- Euros.

Nice!! That's actually still active (I just changed the .de to .es) and it is still working. Still though, I saved more money from the grey market purchase. When I purchased the RP I got 150€ off from Canon, but even with the discount from Canon the lens is still several hundred more than the one linked from e-infinity. Hopefully everything will be fine though! If not, I can always return it and purchase another one (I have 30 days to do so).
