EOS R7 Landscape Lens Recommendations

[iaokie]

Seeking advice on options for a landscape lens that will work with my R 7 I have now and work with the R5 Mk 2 i hopefully can purchase in a year or so

You need the right post processing software app to create the final panoramic image. I cannot remember if DPP can do it, but I seem to recall using Canon software to create a few small ones.

I use Adobe Photo Suite to create larger ones that create JPG files over 100 MB. The Canon(?) app I was using a decade ago could not create files that size.  It might have been PhotoStitch, which seems to be no longer available.

So I do have an EF-R adaptor would It be worth considering looking for an EF type lenses or would the quality not be  comparable to the cost savings

I sympathize with the budget concerns and I'm here to tell you B&H and KEH as well as Canon Refurb have all treated me fantastically.  Picked up my wife's outstanding RF 24-105 f4L used for $789.98 and despite a significant gouge in the front glass at the periphery it shoots marvelously.  We beat our gear up sailing, flying, deploying to the desert etc so I can't justify buying new when the first trip will beat everything down.  Any of the reputable used dealers allow full refund returns as well so zero worries. 

Before my mirrorless I bought a legendary million pound heavy metal Canon EF 35-350L used from B&H for just over $500 with their lowest quality rating.  It arrived missing paint, dented, several mild scratches on the glass but it took amazing pictures all over the world worth $1M to me and I didn't worry a minute about dust, mud or drops.  It's completely liberating to have a capable but inexpensive used lens.

For wide angle outdoor and surprisingly useful indoor I enjoy the RF 14-35L f4 folks have mentioned.  I've included some pics that are all on an R7 at 14mm or the 35mm end to give you the extremes.  I have pictures I like better but they're at 17mm etc and I know you're probably worried about wide on cropped sensor.

* The most fascinating example I dropped in here is the Alaska aurora shot that is at 14mm 6s f4.5 ISO4000 exposure just sitting on the roof of the rental car.  I'm sure this lens on a tripod with well thought out settings could do amazing things.

Wow !

Thanks for that info I’ll add that on my short list

If I owned an R seirs camera I would not invest or buy any more EF lenses. Look forward not backward.
