BETTER THAN THE RF VERSION
I didn't have to think long in deciding to purchase this lens. The condition of the lens at this price point was simply irresistible. Simply put, the combination of solid build, internal zoom movement, crisp autofocus, and extremely fine glass made this purchase a no-brainer. But to top all this, the performance of this generation lens on my EOS R5 via Canon adapter is to die for. Sure, it's heavy, but do a comparison shoot with it and the RF version on the same camera and you'll laugh at the thought of dismissing this lens because your arm may possibly get a little tired. The images I've gotten so far from this lens are not only comparable to those from the RF version but, at times, even superior in their rendering. This lens arrived in virtually perfect condition with no internal dust or any other foreign material that I could detect. That fact alone explains why I would avoid using the RF version with its telescoping zoom body in the more demanding environments. Successfully keeping contamination out of a lens with a telescoping zoom body over the long haul is surely a lofty dream. A little extra weight is a small price to pay for this level of insurance and long term quality maintenance.
