Just curious as out of all the posts about freezes on the R5 the majority seem to be using Sandisk cards. Not that it helps you at all, I've personally not had a single freeze. I had some slow start-ups from standby with the RF70-200 on the older firmware but nothing I had to pull the battery...

What brand of cards are you using?

Does anyone with the RF70-200 f/2.8 experience a long delay coming out of standby with the R5? It doesn't seem to be consistent but when it happens the red status LED flashes until the viewfinder eventually comes back to life.

I use it on mobile but to be honest I just tried the site via chrome on my phone and it is just a usable.

With respect to EF lens adaptors, I actually already have the control ring adaptor, I ordered it at the same time as the R5 (late July) and despite it showing as out of stock it arrived the following day. I only have the one EF lens left. Therefore, when the Canon freebie arrives it will be...

I'm anticipating mine to be delivered shorty after the R5 mkII is released.

That's what put me off, the size and weight! It looks like a stellar lens but it is a monster.

Can I ask why you're offloading the RF 28-70? BTW, I have just sold my EF 24-70 f/2.8L II and bought the RF 24-70. I didn't think there would be much of a difference but there is. The IS is extremely useful too.

I use the Canon protection filters on my lens when I'm in lens non-friendly places (rain, on the beach etc) and I can't say I've seen any noticeable image degradation.

That 30hrs sounds completely normal if you dropped off on a Sunday morning. It would probably be typical for any courier at the weekend unless you are paying specifically for a weekend service, which will cost you more.

My view is upgrade price for the old perpetual Lightroom license wasn't that much less than the £10 a month for the Photography plan. Not worrying about upgrades and getting Photoshop and bridge thrown into the mix is a definite bonus. Compared to the money I spend on photography hardware it...

It just seems to be CFExpress Type B that is bonkers at the minute. I don't even shoot video so I don't need the speed, just the redundancy when combined with the SD.

If anyone is looking for a CFExpress card right now for their R5 but is deterred by the price, I've just bought a 256GB Delkin Power from Amazon.de for €334.99 delivered (by Friday). This should work out to be around £305 at the current exchange rate. The same card on Amazon.co.uk is currently...

I've finally received the magic 'shipped' email. This will be me at the front door tomorrow... View: https://youtu.be/4izZYfo58-E?t=12
