Pick between RF100-400, EF 100-400 S2, EF 35-350

R6 Mark 2 body + monopod. Mostly for soccer during day light. Help with suggestions please.

RF 100-400 - Native RF, plenty of sunlight. So high F does not impact. Concerned about image IQ on edges.

EF 100-400 S2, still amazing IQ and it's L lens. I am used to shooting with EF adaptor. Not sure about auto focus speed.

EF 35-350 - old lens, but this will mean I dont need to carry around my 24-105 F4 constantly. But given age, i am concerned about auto focus speed. Checking reviews. The IQ seems to be holding up fine.

Have 70-200, but need more reach.

Thanks team.

Have you thought about the RF 24-240mm lens. Older EF lenses cannot utilize all feature in RF Mount cameras. Also that lens lacks IS. IBIS can only help so much with lenses that don’t have lens based IS.

I will second the RF 24-240mm. The thing to keep in mind is that this lens needs the correction profile that the camera or Canon DPP can apply.

It does work nicely with the R6 Mii.
