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've "upgraded" from the EF 100-400 to the RF 100-500, mainly to pick up 100mm and lose a full pound (between the weight of the lens + adapter), but other than that I'm sticking with all my other EF's and even EFs's.  They work great on the R7 and I can't see losing money to just move to the RF equivalents.
