Anyone Have Experience with these Ef-S Lenses Adapted to R-Series Bodies?

[Dave Noordhoff]

After enjoying my R6Mk2 for several months, I have just purchased a R7.
Now I'm thinking of buying two Ef-s lenses (used) to complement this new camera ... a Canon Ef-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM and a Ef-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM.
I would be using Canon Control Ring EF-RF adaptors to use these lenses on my R7.
Does anyone have experience with either of these lenses? I am especially interested in anyone who shoots video with his R-series and the Ef-S 17-55mm.
Back in my days owning Canon Rebels and the 40D & 50D bodies I owned a Ef-S 17-55mm and have good memories of it. Do you think my positive remembrances are colouring my judgement? Thanks for your input!

More importantly, you want the shutter to close to protect the sensor.

Exactly!

I was looking at the RF-S 10-18 but went with the Tokina 11-20 f/2.8 instead. If you use DxO photo editing software, the AT-X version is already supported but not the newer atx-i version as of now, so I bought a refurbished AT-X. It's very nice. Sold off my EF-S 17-55 when I bought my R7. I now have the Tokina at the wide end, the RF 28 f/2.8 as a walk-around lens, and an EF 50 f/1.4 to cover that range.

I am thinking of getting another EF to RF adapter as new RF lenses are not in the financial future. I have a Canon adapter but looking at a second non Canon as the price on Amazon is a LOT less than Canon. I would be using the adapter with my EF S 10-18mm and the EF S 55-250mm on the R7. Then I could just leave an adapter on each lens. If anyone has experience with these non Canon adapters I would really like to hear about it.

I bought the Commlite adaptor when the Canon one was in short supply, and never had any issues with it.

Thanks for that. I will check it out.
