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

So far I have only replaced or upgraded one of my EF mount lenses. I had the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 G2 and decided on the RF 70-200 f/4. I never really took to the Tamron lens, the zoom ring turned opposite to the Canon lenses and I knew the Canon RF would be sharper. I was willing to sacrifice a stop of light for a slightly smaller and lighter lens. I am very happy with my decision.

I have filled in some holes with RF lenses in focal lengths I didn't already own in EF, like the RF 24-105mm and several prime lenses.  I have not encountered any issues using EF mount lenses on my R or R7. They focus fine and are responsive.
