I have this lens, and was expecting to read that it performs poorly on mirrorless. But no. It's an excellent lens, and all you seem to be saying is that with the adaptor it's heavier. Also that it doesn't accept most extenders. I knew that.

What Dave was saying is that his copy's image quality was no better than that of the RF 100-400mm lens, which is smaller and lighter (and he didn't even say that the RF lens is cheaper new than the L lens is second-hand).  It's not the lens to buy specifically for your RF mount camera but there's no great need to replace it if you already have one.
