Hallo !

I have done a test with a chart r5 with 100 500 at 500 r5 with 100 500 and 1.4 x and R7 with 100 500

All shots were taken from a sturdy tripod in electronic mode shooting with the phone app to avoid vibration. focal lenght 500 1/25 maximum aperture same WB and tint

ON my opinion the results are:

R5 crop vs R7 wins R7 by a thin hair

R5 crop vs R5 + 1.4 x wins R5 and 1.4 x

R5 + 1.4 vs R7 to me negligible difference maybe a litle better R7 but i'm not shure

Yep, I have both combinations, and I mostly use the R7. It's more convenient because it has the full zoom range, and in real world use there is little or no advantage in choosing the R5. The one opposing issue is rolling shutter of course. Plus with the R5 you have the option of removing the TC for the full frame advantage, if the subject is within range.

For anyone who is buying and has to choose between them, the cost difference is massive, for very little performance difference.
