Wonderful timing! I've been wanting an alternative to my EF 100-400mm L original (push/pull zoom). Combined with the mount adapter, it's a handful; the RF is leaner. Easier to carry = more likely to get use. Not being an "L" lens isn't an issue for me.

Other than f/8 vs f/5.6, the RF just runs rings around the "dust pump".  It would have to get pretty dark before that extra stop helped AF, if at all.  The IS is an order of magnitude better with the RF; when I put my "dust pump" on my R-series bodies, I am immediately presented with lots of Iarge IS twitches.
