I think you just nailed why I basically have sold my Fuji setup and why I never bought M6 mk II, there simply isn't any future for crop.

I wouldn't buy fuji because:

1) it doesn't work with dxo PL4 Elite with Deep Prime

I have the same issue but I Just learned a few minutes ago that Dxo has introduced a beta version of its new Xtrans capability with the just announced Photolab 5. I saw only one review so far, but the reviewer is a Fuji and Canon user and his opinion of the beta Fuji conversion was positive.

Opens up a new option for DxO users.

Thanks for the heads up

$1000 X-S10 with IBIS

$1117 Sigma f1.4 trio (16, 30, 56) if it comes along to Fuji

$160 DXO PL4 for xtran

that economical triple combination will get a lot of attention for sure if it comes along

R5 order cancelled.

RF isn't the best platform for stellar compact primes, that's clear. At the same time, for that kind of stuff, I would move to Sony FE, not Fuji.

Sony has been so far more "third party friendly" which could benefit them

had you waited for this

competition and waiting is usually a good thing

I have young kids, and time is moving fast. For us 2 months is nothing, for them it's an era. I enjoyed the R5 a lot over my R shooting last summer holiday.... I don't want to wait. Every phase is once in a life time and you can't do it over again.

I shoot Canon for low priced used EF (third party) class, sacrificing compactness getting great IQ for the buck.

I shoot Canon for best AF, especially low light AF.

So yeah, no great compact primes, no Tamron 35-150mm f/2.0-2.8. It is what it is, you can't have it all.

This evening I will leave to Vienna, f/2.8 standard zoom and the 40mm Art are in the bag. The RF 85mm f/2.0 IS stm as well. The Tamron 17-35mm will do the job of the 11-22mm. That Tamron is also my low weight 24mm. The other two low weight lenses are the 35mm IS USM and the....... EF 50mm stm! I realized I will shoot stopped down anyway, so the wide open performance doesn't matter that much. Don't need fast AF either. And it's a lot less weight on the camera compared to the f/2.8 standard zoom. If I do need shallow DOF there's always the 40mm Art, or 70mm at f/2.8. I will also bring the 85mm for it's stunning IS in low light, and it's not that heavy anyway. So that's 3.5 Kg of glass....

My telephoto zoom isn't ideal for this job, so I decided to leave that one at home. A 70-200mm or that new RF 100-400mm would have been better here.

I am completely in love with my EF 70-300L, I think it is positively the sharpest zoom lens I have ever used but its weight kind of rules out the Ms so it has almost become my RF  kitlens and it seems to be even nicer on EOS R than RP.
