As I wait for Canon to fill in the RF lens lineup with lenses that cost less than $2,300 I'm considering using EF lenses with adapters. For instance, the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS lens is currently $850 while the RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS lens is $2,300. There is no f/4 RF version available, and I wasn't excited about the RF 24-105mm f.4L IS lens I rented over the holidays.
Likewise, the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II lens is $1,200 while the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens is $2,700. Even the new EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III lens is only $1,800. And, I currently own the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS version I although it's an older copy with some issues.
An option that I'm considering down the road is the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS lens which would be great for daytime outdoor usage and is a shorter lens than the 70-200mm lenses. Using EF lenses on the RP requires the addition of the adapter which adds about an inch to the lens length. This lens is currently $1,350.
Another factor is that while I'm selling my 5D Mark III and plan on having a pair of EOS RP bodies, I will keep my crop sensor 7D Mark II. The EF lenses, particularly the 70-300mm lens, will be useful with that body for daytime sports and wildlife. RF lenses can not be used with any EOS DSLR.
For now, lenses I own can give me an idea of using EF lenses with the adapter. Today, with morning temperatures in the 60's, I walked around Waterford with the EF 17-40mm f/4L and EF 70-200mm f/4L IS lenses. Here are four shots showing the extremes of these two lenses.
