Re: Switching back to R5... help needed

Any of the Canon 300/2.8 lenses will work great with the 1.4x. I'm not sure how well the 2x works. I believe Canon has a chart (maybe in the camera manual) of the maximum fps with different EF lenses.

I keep hearing good things about the Sony 200-600, and Canon doesn't have anything similar. The closest would be the RF 100-500 or the EF 100-400 mk II with a 1.4x, but of course with a slower aperture with the Sony. Really, if this lens is important to you, it might be worth sticking with Sony.

Since the Associated Press switched all of their photographers from Canon to Sony, many other photojournalists are doing the same. This is somewhat increasing the price of used Sony gear, while reducing the price of used Canon gear, especially DSLRs and EF lenses. So this may work to your advantage if you decide to switch to Canon.
