If I owned a beast like R5 I would keep it, I would also just add R7 just for fun.

I see you have the R...have you shot with the R5 vs R for landscapes and stationary scenes? Curiously if you have thoughts on the comparison for that purpose. Thanks!

No experience with R5 but R is very lovely for stationary subjects, excellent dynamic range and image quality.

The R is bang for the buck for landscapes, definitely, and probably better value for money than the R5, although the R5 will do a better job.

I just don't think that downgrading from R5 to R is worth it financially.

Yeah, if you're starting from scratch the R makes a lot of sense for landscapes if you're looking for good value for money. Selling your R5 is another story though.

According to the local price of R5, I can nearly buy a Leica M6 and save money.
