Why does this matter when the EF based lenses work BETTER than they do in the DSLR counterparts?  Maybe you could see a difference if you pixel peep at 200% and that would encompass a few people on DPR.  99% of people that look at my photos could not tell the difference between my R5/70-200 f2.8 II and someone's R5/RF 70-200 f2.8 unless they did the 200% pixel peep.

Having said that, I wish I had the budget to replace all of my lenses with RF versions, but since my EF lenses work so well, I'll spend the money elsewhere.
