Lots of threads on this. I am keeping my EF 100-400 mkii and using it adapted on my R5. It works quite well and is even acceptable with a 1.4x adapter or a 2x in a pinch. The cost of the RF 100-500 is significant so for me, I'll wait for now.

I definitely don't feel a need to upgrade since I do not use the lens all that often. My 100-400 does a excellent job.

Decision made. No upgrading. Thanks everybody
