For me:
Rear lens caps a lot harder to put on than EF, though part of it is the weather sealing, but it seems just too exact a fit and has to line up just right.
Mounting dot way too small and hard to see with my cataract issues.
Hoods with the freaking release button. I never had problems in 25 years with EF hoods coming off unexpectedly.
Front lens caps, meh, OK I guess, I liked the EF but these aren't really worse maybe, just different
The little trap door on the 100-500 hood for turning circular polarizers is annoying. What's the point of a hood that doesn't hood? Why not sell the lens with a regular hood and see the CP hood as an extra?
My RF lenses are getting more scuff marks on them from 5-6 shoots than my EF lenses got in 25 years. My EF hoods are all scuffed up from rubbing together in the backpack but the lens exteriors honestly still look nearly new in most cases.
And the 100-500 hood perfectly blocks the zoom, so you CANNOT use the lens unless you remove the hood, which requires you to find the stupid latch button
Design too stripped down. Why not put the f-stop along with the focal length at least. Fine, don't put useless info on it like "Ultrasonic Motor" etc. but at least tell me which freaking lens it is.
If all lenses had the control ring I guess I'd use it but since they don't, I instead use the body controls. Photography for me hinges on muscle memory and using it automatically and I can't sometimes be reaching for the lens control ring sometimes not. So with like 7 RF lenses how much have I paid for control rings I don't use?
The R5's functionality is great as is the lens functionality, but they really dropped the ball on just being able to USE the outfit.
