I have a question just slightly off topic. I still have the EF70-300ii IS Nano Usm. EF is F/4-5.6. Did you ever test it adapted on your R7? Could you see a difference in AF/IQ? Except for the shorter focal range of the EF of course. Would the RF100-400 be an upgrade in AF/IQ?

I'm sorry, I've never owned that lens. Maybe someone else could help. I did read good things about it when it came out. I would imagine that it would give just as good results on the R7 as on a crop DSLR. The main advantages that I can see of the RF 100-400 are extra range, a bit smaller and lighter (especially when compared with the EF lens plus adapter combo). The 70-300 is faster.
