Transitioning to RF?

[HDNitehawk]

My opinion is that there are very limited reasons to upgrade any lenses to RF.
Unless you have the cash to burn for limited returns I recommend staying with EF.
Keep in mind that I know have the following RF lenses and the only real benefit I see:
24x70 L it has IS but it seems larger. The EF versions are excellent.
70x200 f/2.8 L it is much smaller and more compact, can not use extenders. The EF versions are excellent.
100x500mm it has no equal really so it is the one exception.
600mm F/4 less weight and better balanced. The 600mm F/4 II would be an excellent lens to hold on to if you weren't trying to pick up a few pounds.


I still have all my EF lenses and have debated whether to sell them or not. Much of the EF stuff is already fire sale prices IMO and I am thinking about gifting mine if a family member takes an interest.

I think many photographers may be willing to be adopted for a few of those gifts ;-).

Thanks Rick. I was wondering what you thought of your new gear. Didn't know you had picked up the RF 600 f/4.

One small tweak I may make to my kit as it looks like I am staying EF for the foreseeable future would be to start using the drop in filter adapter and not have to pack multiple sizes of different filters (I typically travel with 6 different front end filters). They wouldn't be stackable, but I do not often do that anyway.
