Hi

What would your recomandation for a first step in Full Frame for an hobbyist photographer who start with Canon 20 years ago?

I accumulated quite some EF & EF-S lenses (see my profile), so staying with Canon makes sense.

I prefer landscape, portrait, street & trip photography, rarely animals, never sports.

I have the budget to buy the EOS R8 and the RF 24-105 f/4 L IS USM.

But maybe there is better option.

What do you think? Any suggestion?

The R8 will be good to go. Going FF means your 16-35 and 70-200 f/4 zooms are keepers. The 40mm as well, though replacing it with a RF 50mm f/1.8 makes some sense too, as the 40mm + EF-RF adapter is at least as big. The other lenses are either not meant for FF (the EF-S ones) or in for replacement (100-300). I would sell those non-keepers and think about getting a (used) EF 100mm L IS and RF 100-400 instead.

Sandor.
