Really thinking of buying the R5 when it launches.
I have a bunch of EF glass that i am very happy with and not too keen on replacing (from a financial point of view) so i was wondering how EF lens AF performance is on the R bodies?
I currently have a 5dIV, a Sony A7R3 and a Sony A9. The Sonys have the Sigma MC11 adapter.
The A7R3 is ok on AF, just fine up to 100ish mm focal length but virtually useless with my Canon 300 F2.8
The A9 is noticeably better and can handle Canon 70-200 F2.8 just fine but also struggles with the 300 (though it actually can land focus with it unlike the A7R3)
The 5dIV is obviously better with all the EF glass than the Sony cameras.
Since i would need to use an adapter with the R camera i am worried about the AF performance. I have read that since the camera, adapter and lens are all from Canon it would be native AF performance but i can't find any facts backing this up. Surely with an adapter between the lens and the camera there is a tiny performance loss?
