Re: Keeping EF lenses, or worth it to update to RF

I haven’t “upgraded” any of my EF lenses (yet), and probably won’t for a good while. But I do run my 1DX II alongside my R3, so I still need EF lenses for that. I find the Canon adapter works seamlessly although it adds a little hassle at times.

Depending on when / if the R1 appears, and whether it suits my needs and budget, and if other rumoured long focal length zooms are released, then I may get the wallet out!

I did buy one RF lens, which overlaps in focal length and use, but doesn’t duplicate any of my EF lenses. I haven’t noticed any significant benefits deriving from the RF mount itself.
