I have been buying used EF lenses and they work great

I do regret going with the RP due to lack of viable third party choices and the prices of canon's own lenses and if I could go back I'd just wait to go mirrorless or go with a different brand.

I only have 3 RF lenses and have purchased several used EF L lenses this year and they work great. I started buying used EF after seeing how great my existing EF lenses work on my R5. I have also purchased a Sigma 150-600 c and the lens is great on my R5. I do have several Canon EF to RF adapters that I just keep on my most used lenses. I also have two 3rd party adapters but only used those for my light weight EF lenses.

I would say the RF lenses are expensive, but so are many of the high quality new EF lenses like the 100-400 L MK II or 70-200 f2.8 MK III.

We are starting to see some lower price RF lenses. We need a few more, and hopefully they will come.
