I still have two 100-400 IS II lenses pre-purchased. Good as they are for EF and adapatable to RF, the 100-500 is a good reason to move to RF.

The problem though is RF will only ever work on RF bodies the EF mount works on every canon body and many non canon bodys too
So unless you are a pro it makes more economic sense to adapt the older big whites.
Off topic slightly
But the RF has made me back up and go the other way. I do have several of their consumer lenses but I can?t envisage me buying any of the L stuff. If I was spending that kind of money I would seriously check out the competition first
Edit:-
But..BUT
If ever canon brought out say a RF-S 50-135F4Lis (FF equiv 80-200) in black built specifically for crop sensor ( so smaller proportions) and priced lower than the RF 70-200F4 and most importantly sharp from the get go I would have a hard time looking the other way.

But they won’t
So my money’s safe…phew!!
