Have others decided to keep using their EF lenses on RF mount cameras? I have decided so far, might for a long time. I'm not sure I can justify the price for slight increase in focus accuracy and photo quality.

I primarily use 70-200 IS II 2.8, 24-70 II 2.8, 135mm 2.0. I mostly shoot events where IS does not help. I might even buy more EF lenses.

For people that have upgraded these lenses from EF to RF:

  • Did you notice increase focus accuracy?
  • Notice increase in photo quality?
  • Have any other comments?

Thanks,

I just got the R6MKII two weeks ago and loving it! The AF speed is awesome, a lot faster than my 5Ds. I already tried it with a photoshoot with my EF 35/1.4 L and EF 85/1.2 L II. These are not really fast lenses but they got speedier because of that much vaunted eye-AF Canon technology.

The IQ is awesome-----images are so crisp it's as if my camera came with a built in Topaz Photo AI in it

Also, I don't see a need for using back button focus like I do with my 5Ds. I use the modern way by just touching the screen and drag to where I want to focus.

Good luck with whatever decision you make.

Cheers,

José
