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 Bought the Viltrox EF-RE2 and the EF--EOS R from YM Camera
of the two i prefer the EF-RE2

I have both the genuine Canon Adaptor and the Meike MK-EFTR-A Metal Lens Adapter. Maybe I was lucky to get a good copy, but I can't tell the difference between them. The Meike has a similar tight fit and rubber weather seal.

The Viltrox doesn't have seals, I wish knew that before I bought it. Besides that I find it (non control ring) works perfectly and a perfect fit to body and lens

Made a bit of a cock up. Sold my EF lens to MPB. Had a few issues boxing up the 24-70.. left the control ring adapter attached! Didn’t know until they paid me for it!

Ouch! From what I have heard of MPB they are likely to send the control ring back if you ask. Was a Canon ring?

Yep a canon, with the control ring. I was going to Greg, if I’m honest it would probably only be used if I borrowed a lens.

Even so, you cold be £100 or more out of pocket. On top of that MPB give you an under market price. I know its more hassle you could have sold it on eBay or Facebook Market and be a lot better off

MPB prices are pretty good. By the time e you take off the eBay cost and commission there’s nothing in it. Other camera shops can’t get near what MPB offer. You can get a no obligation auto quote for most things on their website. Try it, you might be surprised.

 

[Greg]

Thanks. I will give it a go next time I'm selling

Both Adorama and B&H online stores show it in stock.

HI, I have the Canon RF control ring adapter bought from Panamoz as I could not get one in the UK at the time, but recently some shops are getting stock at last, the control ring adapter is good for use with my EF lenses at present I use it for iso but have tried it for aperture as well.

 

[Greg]

I have resisted using control adaptors, just got a simple look-a-like (£35) one knowing I was getting RF lenses. They add more weight and length to a lens. I can see the control ring being useful with EF lenses for others.

 

[Dave Williams]

I was recommended the control ring adaptor and I can honestly say I haven't used it once in 9 months, neither have I used the one on my 100-500 either. Three dials on the R5 for ISO,aperture and S/S are more than enough for me.

I've just got myself a SMART 4/2. That car is easier to learn where all the controls are compared to my R5
