Canon EF-RF Adapter

[Joanne]

I have a number of Canon lenses I'm hoping to use with my new R5. The adapter appears to be in short supply. Has anyone used one, or know of a source?

I purchased on from Best Buy and they had them in stock

I got the basic adapter in with my R5 when I bought it from Panamoz last December. I did want the controller adapter but no one was selling them at the time, so I bought a Viltrox control adapter off Amazon for around £80-90 and that works perfectly well with all the lenses I have, mainly Canon ones but that does , include a Sigma 150-600 C that has a Sigma 1.4x converter attached. I've not used the Canon adapter since getting the Viltrox one.

Amazon is also your friend, they have a ton of ef-rf variants and most of them are reasonably priced. I was lucky to get a deal that included one but in my pricing i saw a ton on amazon.

Took me months to get the Canon one...still waiting for the R5 to arrive...been on order since February

Have you got one yet?

If not don't bother waiting. The Viltrox is just as good. I have a basic one as I intend to have all RF eventually.

Bought my adapter on eBay for £50, have seen it for less since. Why would you want to spend 5x more for a spacer

It is frustrating to have this wonderful new body and have lenses and accessories in such short supply. A couple of photo shops that you might get on the waiting list with are my local shop in Portland OR: Pro Photo Supply, and Berger Bros Photo in Syosset NY. When I bought my R5 at Pro Photo I brought in my Tamron 70-300 and 150-600. The 70-300 worked fine with the adapter but the 150-600 (Gen 1) did not. I ended up buying the RF 24-240 so that makes the 70-300 a moot point. I'm on the waiting list for the RF 100-500 at a number of places. I have a trip planned to Yellowstone in late May so keeping my fingers crossed. If I can't get a 100-500 in time I'll buy the RF 600 f11. I tried one of those out when I bought my R5 and it is compact and light. Good luck in your search.

They are unavailable to all intents and purposes. I am using a third party adapter.

In my opinion there is no point in waiting for a Canon adaptor. The Vitrox is as good and 1/5 the price. I have a basic one and it's working perfectly
