Hi,
I am going to be getting a new r8, I currently have a 70d with a Tamron 18-400. The photos I take are animals, landscapes and nature.
I am thinking that I want an rf lens, but I do not know what would work the best. I probable want weather sealed as I have been out in the snow and rain especially early in the morning.
Any thoughts on a lens or pair of lenses would be apricated.

"I probable want weather sealed as I have been out in the snow and rain especially early in the morning."
The R8 is weather resistant but not weather sealed. You will be ok if you get caught in a drizzle but it is not designed to get wet. So it really makes no difference if your lens is weather sealed or not. Your Tamron 18-400mm F3.5-6.3 lens is about at that same level and really not designed actually get fully wet. Light drizzle or a splash but not rain.
