planning to update this evening I'll let you know
.
Exactly what I've doneFirmware update for R1 was pretty straight forward. You need to enter and confirm a 6 digit PIN. If you don't want it on, and I don't, go to the new setttings menu "manage password" and set "Password Request" to OFF. I'm getting old and will probably forget the PIN I chose, so I wrote it down. I hope I will remember where I wrote it down
Ha!!!
For my R1s I've set password to OFF and I don't get asked for it on power on. However I expect I will be asked for it for functions like ftp transfers that connect the camera to the internet.If you set Password request to off in menu does that mean that you never get asked to enter the password again or does it ask for it when you turn camera power on ?
R5 in my case
Maybe I’m just being too fussy but really don’t want to be fiddling with passwords if I see something while I’m wandering around and quickly turn the camera on and grab a shot
Ahh i see thanks that sounds like it will be ok and not intrusive
Why do you think an adapted EF Lens loses a few mm?
I meant that at 28mm I'd lose 4 mm over the adapted 24-70 EF, not that adapting the EF would mean I'd lose some width.
EF 24-70mm II is not stellar; that is just a fact of life even if you have a perfect copy that probably hardly exist. The big yugge problem is insane field curvature meaning that you just can't get sharp picture at infinity from corner to corner but you can knock yourself out shooting narrow street architecture and magically it is in focus when it should require focus stacking. They are not so bad for lifestyle but again critical sharpness wide open is nowhere near as good as say 50mm ART. Passable on R6, not beyond. 35mm was particularly weak if I remember correctly. The good parts include great flare- and ghost resistance and reasonably low vignetting by today's Canon standards.

if you plan to use it for 8k video video, then check the sustained minimum write speeds of some of the CF Express Type B cards, as they may not be fast enough.
Agreed the EF 24-70 2.8 Mk2 is not stellar but for the events where I use it, I don't need corner to corner sharpness so it's a good option and I see no need to change.EF 24-70mm II is not stellar; that is just a fact of life even if you have a perfect copy that probably hardly exist.

I happily got rid of mine. I have 70mm as 70mm ART macro or 70-200mm, I have 35mm tamron or 16-35mm zoom, and 50mm ART for in between. In over 2 years I never regretted selling it and not getting a replacement.
Problem with RF 28-70mm is the fact it is budget optic (think Tamron 28-78mm f/2.8 III which is most likely much better), but costs like a premium one. Then we have a wild distortion, some sharpness issues here or there . That STM motor... I really don't like them. Do you enjoy how your 50mm focuses? I'm guessing not...

No options are actually inspiring on Canon here, even if you have The money. A few primes is at least going to give you nice sharp images with plenty more DOF control and available light.
Good point on the STM AF motor.EF 24-70mm II is not stellar; that is just a fact of life even if you have a perfect copy that probably hardly exist.

Its only for apsc so totally no good for most. Sadly they seem are not allowed to sell real lenses for rf
They probably will let third parties in at some point. I guess they don't feel its impacting camera sales adversely so will carry on until that pointFor most? Do you have a breakdown of RF full-frame v cropped camera sales?
(I have one of each)
Yes, shameful that Canon have locked competitors out of making full-frame RF lenses.
It is definitely holding me back from kh r5 ii
I’d say from very little evidence it has impacted camera sales. But I suppose there’s a balance between a small number of lost camera sales and a large amount of potential lost lens sales.
maybe - on the other hand adapted EF works so well maybe not?
It’d be interesting to see the RF lens takeup. As EF lenses work so perfectly the reason to upgrade would be outliers rather than the norm.
If i don't buy the camera i dont buy the lenses. Ok i have r6 but that doesn't really count.... You just dont need super fancy glass like rf 85mm f1.2 for it
