Re: Are you fed up with the ever increasing cost of Canon gear?

One thing is that the price of EF glass is rising too. Making the RF look better value.

When it's not.

I bought an R5 plus RF 100-500 early on, as this suited me best. I think the lens was £2600 and now it retails, if you can find it in stock, for over£3000.

Just can't help but think Canon is puting profits first.

(Also have the EF 400 DO II which is awesome on the R5, solid as a rock with the adapter, could only find a mint used one and a dealer said they won't be making more until December 2021 - I doubt that! Maybe 202?)

I'll accept natural disasters and  Covid have made a big difference to the way things should have gone, but that's life I suppose!
