    That is my use case as well. Combined with the R8. Often, I don't have the opportunity to return to the location very quickly, or to...

    I really like the idea of one camera with a permanent adapter for EF lenses and one for native lenses :) sounds like a great solution!
  • Exploreshootshare
    Yeah, the RF would be convenient because I wouldn't need an adapter. On the other, size and weight seems to similar including an adapter...
  • neuroanatomist
    I had both, but I swapped the EF version for the RF version really for the convenience. The SA control on the RF lens is fun to play...
  • neuroanatomist
    I had the EF 11-24/4, and I held off purchasing the RF 10-20/4 in part because of the drop-in filter capability of the adapter. But...
  • neuroanatomist
    For me, the use case for the 20-50/4 will be as a walkaround lens on the R8. That will often include architecture, but just casual shots...

    I have always chased edge-to-edge sharpness at maximum apertures in low light, so this kind of lens engineering could speak directly to...

    This is our "never before seen" lens design to go with the 45 1.2? Edit: "world's first"
  • candyman
    I can fully understand that. Testing it yourself works best for decision-making. I also read Richard's article from CanonNews about the...

    I don't rely on TDP's or D. Abbott's chart pictures, among other reasons because they are taken at a distance which doesn't necessarily...
  • GMCPhotographics
    That's a good list of solutions to each use case scenario. I'm not currently in this situation because all my glass is EF mount...
  • Exploreshootshare
    When I started reading the first couple of lines, I immediately thought: the r6iii must be for you :) turns out, it is :) Of course, a...
  • GMCPhotographics
    AF expectation has gone up dramatically with the mirrorless / software based Af systems. Photographers can now do more, have better...

    Cheap FF is not an oxymoron. This is one of those gate-keeping opinions that discourages new people from starting photography. Have you...
  • Skux
    Not suprising, the R8 eclipses it in every regard and will eventually settle at the same price point. I use my R8 as a lighter camera...

    In Australia you can get an RP body only for only $181 more then an R100 with the 18-45mm lens, and that's only checking one website...

    At the time, spending less on the RP over the R, and putting the difference toward a lens was the right move for me. However, today...
  • dominic_siu
    I’m using the RF 85 1.2, the results are fantastic, you must try it😌
  • C
    Maybe Im being harsh but good riddance. RP always felt phoned in and overly reliant on its price. R8 costs a little more but is worth...
  • B
    The R8 is the new model. It's already couple of years old and discounted. Considering the competition, it makes no sense to release a...
  • M
    Not exactly. There are the 1.2/45 STM, the 1,2/50L USM, the 1.4/50 VCM and the 1.8/50 STM. That makes four lenses. And we already have...
  • S
    The R8 offers a lot of value, but even at 1000 euro to 800 euro it is a lot of money compared to a RP bellow 500 € new. That is why I...
  • m4ndr4ke
    The RP is usually under €700 here in Portugal, and it has dropped below €500 on last year’s black friday. Currently is at €649 at the...
