Hi all, I have a 50D, and am looking for an upgrade to a very professional level - full frame would be best.... I am not sure what to do... I have a lot of EF lenses, but nothing very professional like the L like lenses,,, however I still have a lot of lenses.... I was looking at the new R line..... but just found out that the RF and EF and not the same mount..... So angry!!!!!!! SOOOO should I just quit EF and start building an RF collection and buy the R8 (Or whatever) , OR stick with the EF and buy an 5D-M4...….. …. please let me know your opinion..... any help or advice would be greatly appreciated:-)

POSTED IN 5DM4 FORUM TOO!!!

Buy a R5 plus adaptor. Good condition used cameras with dealer warranty now coming down in price.

I only have 1 RF lens - and good number of EF lenses.

No requirement at all to buy RF lenses unless you have gear acquisition syndrome or a very specific application in mind - like 28-70 f/2 or super sharp 50 f/1.2 / 85 f/1.2 - or very dark telephotos float your boat like the 800 f/11.

EF lenses on a R5 in effect are just as good unless ultra pixel peeping - except for odd ones which are a little sub par like the EF 50 f/1.2
