My decision...
3

After an exhaustive amount of research, I decided on the Canon R6 Mark II and the RF 70-200 f/4 or f/2.8.

I ordered the Canon R6 Mark II and the RF 70-200 f/4 along with the RF 70-200 f/2.8 on November 29th and received it on December 4th.

After some initial tests with both lenses, I decided to keep the RF 70-200 f/4 and return the RF 70-200 f/2.8.

My primary reason for returning the RF 70-200 f/2.8 was the weight difference compared to the RF 70-200 f/4. It was significantly substantial for me.

Secondly, I couldn't justify the price difference.

I bought the RF 70-200 f/4 for CAD 1,999.99 (after a CAD 400 discount), and the RF 70-200 f/2.8 is CAD 3,499.99, both before taxes. A difference of CAD 1,500. The difference might now go toward the RF 24-105 f/4 when it goes on sale.

After shooting on a Nikon for many years, and Canon before that, there is a lot to get used to, but I'm impressed with the amount of customization I can do.

Thanks, everyone, for your input.
