5dmkii to a mirrorless Canon

I sold my 5D2 and bought an RP and got the RF 24-105/4-7.1 stm kit lens more or less for free. I was planning to use my EF 24-105/4L with adapter but as I tried the kit zoom I found it being a very good lens with only half the weight of the L zoom, So I ended up selling the 24-105 L as well. Regarding the dynamic range, when looking at photons to photos web site, you'll find that the 5D2 and RP score equally. But in real life I have less problem with the RP than I had with the 5D2 in situations with bright light and deep shadows. I can't explain why, but that's my experience.

On the whole I'm very satisfied with the RP and this kit zoom. Regarding the lens it's very sharp except for the corners at 24 mm, which are quite soft. Between 28 and 80 it's even sharper than the EF lens, also in the edges. Of course you must realise its shortcomings regarding weather sealing and small aperture in the long end, but as I mainly shoot outdoors in daylight I mostly use f/8 anyway, and I have in fact used the camera and lens in rain and snow without any problems.

I'm very happy with the IQ of the EOS R, but reckon I would have been OK with the RP too.

Jared Polin did a simple shadow lift test with the R and RP (and 6D2 I think) where you could download the files. IMO the R was clearly the best, but the RP clearly better than the 5D2. It looked to have a nice bump in detail and certainly in DR. There was a bit of color noise, but not the same obtrusive banding and blotchyness of the fragile 5D2 files. (To be fair, the 5D2 handles highlights very well).
