I am going on safari to Rwanda and Kenya and to see the gorillas. I currently own a Canon 6D and looking at the Canon R6 for my new camera. Any advice on lenses? Beyond the safari I would like to lighten my load that I carry. Any thoughts on the new 100-400 rf lens and the 600 or 800 rf f11 lens? I will take my 6D body as a backup with my 28-70 L 2.8 lens. Would I be better off buying a used 100 -300L lens with image stabilization with my 1.4 ii teleconverter than the new rf lens? Do the adapters work well with the EF lenses?

You need a sealed lens to avoid dust into the lens and camera. E.g. the RF 100-500.
