I am about to get myself an R and the 28-80 lens as well as the control ring adaptor.
As Brian at TDP says, it's worth to buy the body just to get the lens.
I do events and I currently have a 5D3 (primary camera), 70D (backup and HD video) as well as an M5 for fun. My brother-in-law's old 60D has bitten the dust and I'm giving him my 70D.
I've played with R's in store, and I have to say that I hate the EVF. Just like my M5, the colours are grossly oversaturated and the brightness is too high and the contrast is terrible, IMHO.
When I use the M5, I use the EVF just to frame the shot and check on exposure but I find it useless to really see what the finished photos look like.
Is it possible to do any adjustments to the EVF on the R? If not, then it could only ever be a backup camera for me as I know my left eye would be in a very sorry state if I did a 16 hour wedding with it up to my eye.
