I have a few questions if you dont mind

#1 Do you crop a LOT,  size and how often ?

#2 When you made this comparison how much did you enlarge them, 100% ?

#3 What res is your monitor ?

I use two Asus ProArt 24" at 1920 x 1200 = 2,304,000

My R6 has a 20mpx sensor 5472 x 3648 = 19,961,856

My Canon photo printer will print 13x19 at maybe that res at max dpi, I would have to check but the amount of ink would bankrupt me

BUT  I do sorta agree with you   When I bought my R the first lens's were all primes rf35 rf1.8, rf 50 f1.8 and RF 85 f2.

I like to do my composition in camera as much as I can which can be hard to do with primes.

I am asking because I was an electrical engineer and one thing that I had to learn the hard way is a closed mind never gets better**, so I ask a lot of questions

Thank you

Dave
