I just got back from a month trip to Tuscany with my brand new R5 Mark II and a CF Express card filled with beautiful images... This camera is really impressive on many levels.
I did however experience two issues... First, the newly designed hot shoe cover was impossible to remove at first. It did get easier after a few cycles but soon it started falling off until finally, it was lost. I'm not sure why this piece was redesigned with a part that costs eighteen dollars to replace so needless to say, I'm disappointed.
The other issue I had was with the EF-R lens adaptor... I ordered the version with the drop-in filter thinking that I could use the filters from my EF 400 f/2.8 telephoto lens but sadly, these do not fit. The new lens adaptor uses a substantially thinner filter which meant that I had to fork up another $330 for another polarizer that fits.
I guess there is a lot of profit is selling these 'new' items, eh? Has anyone else experienced these issues of am I just out of it these days?
