Canon RF lenses
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I would recommend sticking with RF lenses if you have the budget instead of EF, as the newer RF autofocus systems are *fast* especially when paired with new RF bodies too.
- The new RF lenses are better than the old EF models, but the EF-L lenses adapt beautifully.
- Don't get me wrong, the RF lenses are superb but comparing those two lenses is like comparing a new Toyota to an old Lexus
- Most RF lenses will generally be better, though there are some great EF lenses obviously. What many people realize is that the RF lenses are smaller and lighter.
- I've heard the RF are a lot lighter and more compact than the EF counterparts .
Cons
- RF lenses are somewhat of a weakness of newer Canon cameras, they're really expensive and offer minimal upgrades.
- The RF lenses are nice but very expensive, so mixed or even all EF is still a very workable solution.
- yeah, the prices of RF lenses are just insane. im sure they're wonderful, but I can't justify spending that sort of money 😅
- The issue is you'd need a new lens too and currently RF lenses aren't cheap.
- In my opinion decent RF lenses are expensive, and being mainly canon.
