Personally, I use DPP4 to generate a TIFF and import those into Lightroom. The downside of that is the UI of DPP4 is about as nice as rubbing sand in your eyes and it takes about 30-40 seconds per picture to process if you have DLO enabled, on a quad core i7. But the colours are great and DLO does a very nice job on older lenses like the EF85mm f/1.8.

I suspect *if* Adobe bothers to add the R5 profiles it will be a looooong time after launch, so the first few months will be rough.

Would you mind giving more detail here on batch processing files in dpp? Do you just convert to a stamdard profile run DLO and you're done or do you do more work in DPP? Im trying to switch to this workflow and having a hard time knowing what to do in dpp and what to do in LR. Thanks!

I try to have DLO enabled in the camera, DPP will auto enabled it in that case. For batch editing:

Select the pictures you want to batch edit, press CTRL+T, that will open up the batch adjustment window. I check if DLO is enabled, NR is disabled and make global adjustments like WB, brightness and highlights/shadows. When I'm feeling lazy, I enable Automatic Lighting Optimizer

Thats gets things close enough to export to TIFF and import into Lightroom. I have an unproven feeling that the exported TIFFs don't have the same range as the RAW files, so doing the global adjustments in DPP4 gives me peace of mind.

Tiff files have been demosaiced so you do lose the advantages of raw. For some files therefore you might want to push out the right side of the gamma tool to minimise the risk of blown highlights.
