Thanks but I'll stand pat for now. I love my 135/2 so I'm not going to part with it. It's awesome for sports even with the 1.4X II TC. I'm sure it will be even more fantastic with the R6MKII. And its also my fave focal length for headshots.

Moreover, I doubt if I can get much for my 300 and 70-200 lenses so I might as well keep them for occasional bird photography for the former and cultural event for the latter.

That's how I feel about my 135 f/2.  Love that lens and it works great on the R5.  My non-IS EF 70-200 f/4 is still a nice lens, but getting long in the tooth and no IS.  Doubt I can get much for it but going to try to sell.
