    RF native or EF with adapter

    RF 100-500 vs the Tamzooka.

    The RF produces a better image at 500 and cropped to effective 600 that the tamzooka. Focusing is faster as well

    RF 24-105 vs EF 24-105. Soooooo close, Really can't tell a difference in thiddle 2/3rds of the frame.

    Going to keep the 100-500 going to send back the 24-105.

    My 2 cents.
    If you see me with a wrench, call 911

    I think I’m repeating myself, but in general the RF lenses offer a meaningful improvement over their EF counterpart, at a substantially higher cost. The RF 24-105 is an exception to both – it’s not meaningfully better than the EF version, and it launched at the same price as the EF version it replaced.

    The real question does the "meaningful improvement" justify the "substantially higher cost".
    My impression of the RF 24-70, RF 70-200 and RF 100-500 are that they do offer meaningful improvement with IS and the added length of the 100-500.
    But the amount of improvement versus the cost really does make the upgrade a Luxury Purchase and not a Necessary Purchase.
    Just my opinion.
