That's a bit dramatic way to describe it, but thanks, I will enjoy it.

LOL, I was sorta alluding to the color of the vegetation over there.

The R5 stays for all the non green colors.

That’s good!  Esp given Sony’s color science…  

Bwahahahaha, just kiddin’.  I shot with Sony cameras for many years after Digital appeared (and still own a couple!).  Enjoy!

The day I started with M the M50 was the best Canon mirrorless camera, and it made my Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 finally usable without inconsistent AF. There was no RF mount. The A7III was released just a view months before, and replacing the EF-s glass by Sony full frame options was out of the question, especially an f/2.8 GM standard zoom.

The 18-35mm f/1.8 will be mothballed. It's the lens to blame for luring me into photography, and it wouldn't ever happened without M.

We’ll, one can never be sure about the future!

Two weeks after selling my R5 Canon will announce the RF 50&85 f/1.4 IS überUSM lenses.... that's for sure.

We’d be so lucky!!  Not gonna happen tho.  

I still however have a pair of R5ii’s in my sights that have my name on them (for this coming summer).  I think the R3 and R1 are just going to be too chunky for my tastes.  If a battery grip were only an option (and not built in), then I’d do it.

Enjoy your new journey!
