RF vs RF-S lenses
RF lenses are designed for Canon’s full-frame mirrorless system and are the most future-proof option if you may upgrade later. RF-S lenses are made for APS-C Canon mirrorless cameras like the R50, R10, and R7. They are often smaller and more affordable, but they are less ideal if you plan to move to full frame.
