I am thinking of moving over to the R5 from my 5DIV/7D2. With a slew of L lenses in the cupboard, this is a big move and one of the issues is performance of the EF lenses on the R5 body.
I have read that the maximum frame rate using EF lenses on the R5 is 6 fps but other people are reporting 9 fps. Does anyone have any experience/comment on this?
Given that my main wildlife interest is birds in flight, along some sports, the key lenses where fps could be an issue would be the 100-400(ii), and the 400 DO f4 (ii) so replacing these lenses would be the big financial hit. If the R5 performs well enough (given that the limitations are me and not the gear) I may even sell the 1Dx(ii).
Trying to second guess the impact of Brexit, rising fuel costs and any shenanigans the Russians get up to is making my finger a bit twitchy to sort it out before the excreta really hits the fan.
Any advice will be welcomed.
By the way - does anyone know why frame rate on the EF lenses is reduced? It seems odd to me.
