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 a Viltrox ef-re2 from B&H from about a 100.00 however with my off brands older lenses they didnt function but all my canon ones did ... i have since purchased the canon unit one off brands still don't like it but all my canon ones work wonderfully so ....

I have the Canon regular EF-RF adapter and it works great. I've heard of others having problems with some off brands not staying tight and having communication problems with the lenses. Nothing in particular just a few hit and miss anecdotal stories. I was able to purchase three of the Canon adapters, but I had to stay diligent in my search. Good luck!

yeah the off brand converter didnt like the tamron 150-600 and the canon one hated the tamron 70-200 vs one Tamron ... as u said communication issues

Compatibility issues are a major pet peeve of mine.

I got the EF to RF, FD to RF, and screw mount adapters from Amazon.
