The setup is paying for itself with the quality of output!

Haha, yes, the camera and the lens(es) really are something. And actually I'm a "Nikon person" from start.
Sold both the camera and that particular lens the other day. But it's given me some fond memories.

I am keeping all of my EF lenses. The only RF lens I have is the 100-500mm, and will be adding one RF 1.4x TC. Those who already have the latest version of the EF 100-400mm aren't gotting rid of it because oil its great IQ. The same for the very expensive EF Primes from 400mm to 800.

I am keeping my 85 1.2 11 and my 135 2.0 the only RF I want to own is the 50mm. I don' have any zoom lenses.

All my EF lenses are "primes," except for three (40mm pancake, 100 Macro, 16-20 Tokina) all are L glass, and only one has IS (RF 100-500mm). The one I use for taking photos of the Auroras is a Tokina SD 16-28mm f/2.8 for FF cameras.

EF primes from 40mm to 400mm. Zooms: Tokina 16-28mm, and Canon EF 70-200 f/4 L)

You sold the Canon 5D? What are you going to replace it with?

ETA: nevermind, reading comprehension needs work today. lol I think you are right and the 5d was sold since he has the R5.

I was just wondering what camera would take a better picture than the 5D?

I already have a EOS R5 (and a R6 as well)

The image quality overall are quite similar with the 5D and R5 (a lot less resolution with the R6 thou)
The lenses make more differens I assume.
Selling off my beloved EF 100mm L macro as well, going to get the RF-version when it lands in store.
Same with the RF 100-500, will sell that one too and get a RF 400mm f/2.8 instead.

Yes, longer lenses help the R6 (less cropping).

I was not aware there was a Canon RF 400mm f/2.8 until I looked for it at B&H, but it is as expensive as the EF version.

A prime with such an aperture (f/2.8) should work quite well with a RF 2x TC if you ever need that much reach. That lens is a monster!
