The talk of imminent RF teleconverters being released got me thinking. Thinking of something stupid and probably not practical or optically possible, but thinking nonetheless...
What would happen if one were to put an RF teleconverter on an RF camera, put an RF to EF adapter on that, and then put an EF lens on that? Could I finally turn my EF 85mm f1.2 into the 119mm f1.7 lens I have always dreamed of? Or maybe a 170 f2.4?
What about turning a 24-70 f2.8 into a 33.6-98 f4?
Or, for the ultimate exercise in pointlessness, making an 11-24 f4 into a 22-48 f8?
These are the hard-hitting questions we need answers to as we wait for the R5 announcement.
