Older Lenses

[Jimn Jax]

I am having really good luck with some of my older FD and EF lenses on the Canon R. I even got an adapter to let me mount a screw mount Nikkor 50mm f1.4 from the 1950's that produces some really good results. I am gradually transitioning to the RF lenses but I am sure I will continue to uses the older lenses. I have the 600mm f11 and the 85mm f2 macro and am really pleased with them. Are any of you using the older lenses and what kind of results are you getting.

I have used the following "EF" lenses with the Control Ring adapter 14mm f2.8L 20mm F2.8, 35mm f2, 50mm F1.8, 70-200 f2.8 L V1, 300mm f4 L. and the 100-400L all with no problems.

I have a first gen. Canon EF 70-200 f4 IS L that works great with the adapter and an old Canon FD 55 1.2 that still takes some crazy sharp pics on my R6 if I feel like playing with manual focus.

I shoot with my Canon EF 600, 400, 70-200 v2 f/2.8L lenses as well as my old EF 24-70, 16-35 and 8-15 with no problems using the Canon RF-EF adapter. So far, super pleased with the AF response and the results!

On my first shoot with my R6 I used a Sigma 150-600 with the RF-EF adapter with no problems.

I have regularly used EF 17-40, 135 and 100-400 Ii with a mix of adaptors and all perform brilliantly on the R6
