Thanks José, your images look wonderful. So you are happy using your existing EF lenses, and don't plan to update with RF lenses, at least anytime soon, is that right?

I did not verify, if there are even RF replacements available.

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, I am super happy that I made the move to Canon RF. I have mirrorless experience already when I got into the Sony system. However, nothing compares to the Canon because it's like I have an 'instant' system as the move to RF from EF is seamless using the adapter. I hardly even notice that I am using an adapter.

My plan is just to use what I have. However, I am tempted to get at least one RF. No rush though as I even had a few lenses to try out with my R6MKII. I was thinking of a standard zoom lens. However, the RF 24-70/2.8 L IS is too expensive and since I no longer shoot events it'll be a waste of money. I'll probably hold off until Canon comes out with the RF version of 200/2.8 or maybe an STM telezoom lens around that focal range.

Cheers,

José
