R8 + (-6.5 EV Acquisition) + Odins + DXO PL6 + F4L Lenses
1

The R8 specs are -6.5 EV acquisition versus my RP which is -5EV -- I'm thinking my RF 24-105 F4L will acquire focus in low light where I saw my RP struggle with my F4L lenses.

My 6d only had -3EV acquisition.  The R8 appears to have 1/2+ stop better low light noise performance.  And the R8 appears to have a whopping -3.5 EV stops better in low light focus acquisition capability.  i'm selling my 6d btw.

DXO PL6 will develop for R8 eventually and give an additional 1-2 stops of NR magic.

The R5 has -6 EV acquisition and the R3 has -7.5 EV acquisition -- so I'm thinking the R8's -6.5 EV acquisition specification may be good enough for my RF F4L lenses to work in low light in combo with DXOPL6 NR.

Then of course I am a bit concerned about my odins for OCF working on that new digital R8 hotshoe.

Any insight on these points appreciated.
