Without doubt you will enjoy the experience
of using the R lenses on the bodies intended for them.
The overall ergonomics of proper lens on proper body
definitely feels more right.

Since acquiring the DMR and returning to the entire system
the lenses seem much happier in my hands.

Likewise, the 5D likes the Canon lens components work better with one  
another.
The Canon system (and I'm sure the Nikon, Olympus, etc. systems as well)
make good sense and fine enough images.

The system component interchangeability qualifies as a plus, however  
with compromises.

I do like the fact that the 5D body backs up the DMR (couldn't afford  
2 DMRs).

Fond regards,
George
