Yeah I was hoping for f1.4 , that was a strong rumor for at least 2 years.There goes the dream of a RF 135mm f/1.4L IS USM lens.
But not bad... it's priced exactly to the Sony FE 135mm f/1.8 GM Lens
$700 & $1,100 more expensive than the Sigma & Samyang equivalent.
Quite agree - I understand that when new features are added it can become necessary to rearrange some of the controls, and I understand that Canon are always trying to improve the ergonomics, but like many people I find it awkward to adjust to new control layouts and wish Canon had settled on one common layout for R5/6/7.
Please note that you are completely wrong. There is no need to remove the gasket. None. Sorry you damaged your ST-E3-RT, there was no need to do so. The only thing the AD-E1 provides is a weather-sealed connection to a sealed flash. If you don't need weather sealing, just mount the Speedlite in the new hotshoe. It fits and functions fine.
I don't see the IS switch on the SonyThere goes the dream of a RF 135mm f/1.4L IS USM lens.

.Will you stop telling people this! You have to CRANK the lock if you leave the gasket on. Take the gasket off or buy the adapter. Don't void your warranty!
I'm afraid the RF 1,4/135 would have known the same fate as the excellent but brick -heavy 1,7kg. Sigma 1,4/105mm. Many drooling, but only a few buying.
I have four 600EX-RT flashes and none need to be 'cranked' onto my R3, I just push the locking lever over firmly and they lock down. They mount in exactly the same way they did on my 1D X, with the same force required. Perhaps your ST-E3 was damaged to begin with?
The fact that it's stacked and not staked ought to count for something.
+ the photo or video switch like the R7! Hopefully this also means we can set the custom modes to different video framerates as well.Holy moly, that lock switch alone may be worth the upgrade
This is why I decided to stop waiting for the new 135 (or what I wanted, which was an RF 105/1.4). Instead I got the Sigma 105/1.4 which works perfectly with the ND adapter and strobes for shooting outside at 1.4. Even if Canon did come out with an RF 105/1.4, I’d have to buy ND filters in what would likely be a large, expensive filter size.
Why not using the cheaper body twice?I would like to believe it's a continous process to discover the best layout and use that knowledge in subsequent models. A more cynical view is that Canon does it to keep people from using a cheaper model as a second body
I really wish they used the R6/R5 body for the R7. I have an R7 as a C-cam and when I need to use it, I have to relearn where all the buttons and dials are. I’m really perplexed: wouldn’t it have just been cheaper to take what they already had and put in a smaller sensor?Why not using the cheaper body twice?
BTW: I am fully satisfied with my single body
