My local camera store called me and had two R5 camera bodies for sale. Would I be interested in one? Suffice to say,I now own an R5. The ergoes are very similar. to my 5DIV and did not take very long to feel comfortable using.. I have been using the EF 24-70 2.8 with basic adapter.

Good purchase!

I got a notice that a major online store had some at what I considered a reasonable price. By the time I got the heads up and went there, they were sold out. Maybe next time.

What do you consider a "good" price?
 
IIRC, the R5 was a bit over $2,600.
I may have one for sale with less than 2500 clicks on it at that value. I was planning on keeping it and using it as a trade-in on a MkII or an R1 at my local dealer. Has never locked up or had any other failure. It was a Canon refurb.
