Northrup also says the 24-105L R is sharper than the venerable 24-70L II! wow!

Canon is poised to put out some kickass new RF lenses in the next year or two. I find this much more interesting than the camera spec race.

Canon blurb: "The lens achieves image quality at f/2 comparable to - or even greater than - that of the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM at its widest aperture of f/2.8"

My opinion

its never about the body. Its always about the glass

These new R lens will make most people jump away from a DSLR

A 24-105R is as sharp as a 28-70 and both are way sharper than a 28-7011 which is the current benchmark

Its not going to be a hard decision.When they produce a dual card pro body we are all going to jump ship. Tony is 100% right

No brainer

Pics or it didn’t happen!
Seriously, I haven’t seen any decent pictures that show what that lens can do. It seems like my kind of zoom lens though !
