Here are a few images I took for a women's jacket company (the jackets have pockets!) using the RF 28-70. These were non-professional models and there was no stylist, but I think they turned out great all things considered. The R5's tracking was excellent and it worked well with my Godox lights:
Single focus point and no tracking should look that good with a EOS R, 5D mk iv or 5DSR.
But I think the look of the skin color and fabrics is what I like best from this set of images. And if you did have tracking and it worked good for you too, that's good to hear likewise since you were relying on it.
If the models or you were swaying a little bit, apparently that should increase the number of shots you can save and choose from.
Thanks for that. I sort of agree in that if the models were staying still and could hold their expression I could have fired off a larger number of shots and found one in focus. However, these models weren't very experienced and they were often modifying their expression, meaning from one shot to the next I could have then lose the look I wanted (and therefore can't afford to have a shot out of focus). The other thing I would need to do with a DSLR is place my focus point on their eye and compose around that with the caveat that off-center focus points couldn't be micro-adjusted separately from the center point on the 5D series and in my experience weren't fully reliable. I also shoot with Sony and once I started with Eye AF I've almost never used anything else since with models. It allows me to focus on the composition I want and not have to worry about where the AF point is. However, on my 3rd generation Sony body the lock-on tracking is a weak point. This was one of the main reasons I bought the R5 (along with a desire for lenses like the 28-70) and I love that I can initiate tracking by selecting a subject then let the camera hold focus while they or I move. This was helpful for the shot below where the models were walking and I was walking backward with them:
