Nope, I don't. I'm thinking to purchase the 24-70 f2.8 II, but not sure if it's still a worth lens in 2021.
I asked because you can use EF lenses on RF cameras, but not the other way around.
I know you don't like third party lenses, but I would consider the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8.
Sigma Art lenses play side by side with Canon L lenses and have a competitive price. oh, and the Sigma lens has IS (they call it OS), the Canon doesn't.
the IS plays very important role, however they have IS on RF lens, but that's over priced in my opinion. I maybe can get good deal on EF one brand new.
Regarding Sigma, what's the image quality? I don't have any third party lenses on my bag, I think that's because I don't trust and have never tried anything from other companies.
and yes I know that I can use EF on RF cameras through an adapter. But would you consider purchasing EF lens or RF lens?
if you don't have an RF camera, why are you considering getting an RF lens?
I have this lens and it is a beauty, I use it on the R5 with an adapter and it works flawlessly. Still a really great lens if you need f/2.8. I use it for Milky Way shots and it's great at 24mm, but if you don't really need f/2.8 you can look at the 24-105 f/4 L IS II as it comes in a fair bit cheaper and is still a really great lens with more range upto 105mm.
Thanks a lot
Andy Smith fir advice. So you'd say, is still worth investing now on this lens? I'm still looking to buy this lens, but also in the future I'm thinking to switch to R camera body.
