Re: EF vs RF lenses - a few things to consider

A couple of other considerations.

First, many (most?) of the RF lenses have a closer minimum focus difference than equivalent EF focal lengths. Really handy, and sometimes easy to forget it's there. Worth checking into if you're comparing EF vs RF.

Second, an edge case, but most RF lenses have an IR light. Which can wreck IR shots of longer than say a quarter of a second exposure. The 24-105 non L doesn't have it, but many I've seen and tested do. Admittedly most will never see this since they have the original UV/IR cut filter still installed. But IR users take note.
