I'm sorry I don't know. It could be so many different things. The first thing is to make sure all the connect points are clean. So far mine has been fine with any lens I've used. Also, try to take off the lens and the adapter and re-attach it all. Good luck!

I need to try that one. I always love to have some extra adapters around!

It’s not adding any additional space. Its measured to be exact space to a dslr. That’s why the ef lenses adapt perfectly. So, a 24mm lens will be a 24mm lens on the R system camera if it’s a full frame camera.

@@PaulJakob thank you for the clarification much appreciated

Is that an EF tamron lens?

Thanks Frederick! That’s a good question. My best encounters with different af motors is I have had some work recently where I used the R5, R6, 1dx2 and 5d4. I mixed it up with all sorts of lenses like ef L with the usm, the Newer usm, the tamron lenses and sigma. All of them worked exactly the same. The only note would be, the cameras more advanced AF had a positive change to how sticky the AF felt. In conclusion, the adapted lenses all worked as well if not better with the new cams even with the adapter. My tests were not in a controlled situation, but in real life high pressure paid shooting situations. Thanks for watching the vid! I have some new stuff coming soon. More adapter talk!

@@PaulJakob That's particularly impressive that even the adapted third party glass worked better adapted than on the EF system. Thanks for the insight!

@@frederick-DIY I really like the canon ND adapter. It adds so much functionality with the drop in too. Once you decide and get shooting, let me know how it’s going!

@@PaulJakob You bet! I'm mostly looking at the cheaper third party adapters since I don't use ND filters in my own shooting. I'm in the process of switching over from the EF system (1Ds Mk. II and a 50/1.4), and my initial setup is an RP with the RF 50/1.8. Since the RP is the first camera I've owned that does in-body lens correction though, I'm particularly interested in adapting some of the older EF glass for which the RF system doesn't yet give a size advantage (I shoot almost entirely street photography so having a small and unobtrusive kit is very important).

None at all. I compared my 5d4 with the ef 24-70 2.8 L mk2 then put the same lens on the Eos R with the adapter and the image was exactly the same. The adapter is a simple design. Mainly just adding space between the body and the back glass. Hope this helps.

@@PaulJakob Yes very helpful Paul. I appreciate it. I plan on buying the R5 as soon as the wedding market picks up here in NJ. (Right now I am using the 5D4 and have a 5D3 for backup). I don't want to lose the use of my EF L series lenses, so that is why I asked the question regarding any loss of light using the adapter. BTW: I have been in that scenario trying to get out of NYC with the tunnels all backed up. Brutal! Phil NYC Area (Jersey Shore)

@@uptownphotography Those tunnels...ugh! I switched to RF bodies and had the same situation with not wanting to change the lenses. My suggestion is to pick up a couple canon adapters, and one of the meike. It's great to have an extra on hand. You will love the R5. It's a fantastic camera. The R6 is also killer.

@@PaulJakob Do you experience using the adapter with the control ring. Wondering if it's worth the extra $100 to have that feature...

@@uptownphotography I have it on my rf lenses and I have yet to find it useful. But it’s a neat feature. If I was shooting weddings I may be more interested to have the extra ability to control settings quickly.

I have not had that issue. I find glare and flare are usually have more to do with the lens. I never noticed anything out of the ordinary with it. One thing to note, I do find that mirrorless cameras do have more trouble finding focus in backlit situations. I've seen this on the r, rp, r5, r6, and Sony a73, a7s2, and 3.

@@PaulJakob ohhh. That's interesting to note. I just got my R and I have no adapter so I'm thinking of getting this while canon is not available

@@PaulJakob and thanks for your reply 🙏

Hi! Thanks for the feedback! That is totally normal. Because the lens is all manual and has no contacts on the lens connecting it to the camera, it will not record lens data. It can be frustrating to know see that info, but it brings me back to my days shooting film. I never was able to record that info. So keep at it and you will get a sense and recognize what different f stops look like. Thanks for watching!

No, they don't.

Other than the build like I show in the video, nothing as far as performance. It seems to work the same. I haven’t tested it with many lenses so it’s hard to tell.

It will not work. Since it’s an RF mount lens. The 5d is an EF.

I'm so sorry I didn't see this comment when you made it. I tried the control ring and it's great. If you're needing an extra option for an adjustment setting control it's a cool concept. I have yet to use the polarizer in the drop-in. I want to try it for sure! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

Thanks for watching! It never hurts to have an extra adapter. Check out the canon official website too. They keep showing up. That R5 is awesome. Enjoy the new camera!

This is a great question. So the sigma 35mm art is a full frame lens. The adapter adapts exactly straight across. So it is 35mm full frame in camera mode and in video it is the same. So the field of view would be very close if not the same as your 6d. Full frame ef adapts to full frame adapted. Now the only time there is a crop on the R6 is in 4k60. It’s like .1 (almost nothing) and in 120 fps (same). I hope this helps!

So the camera has peaking. So it is lit up with a colored pixel and it’s super easy. I also learned photography on a film camera with no auto focus at all. So using my eye is something I’m used to. I will say focus peaking makes it so easy and great practice too!

Awesome! Find a used one and save more. Lower shutter count ! Then take that 1k and put it toward a 15-35! For your channel that combo will rock! Let me know when you get rolling! I want to see some vids man!

@@PaulJakob yessir!!! Will do. Yeah I'm going to look for a used one. Good advice. Thank you so much!

It is not. EfM doesn’t have an RF adapter yet.

What is suitable for m50 ?

I happen to have a c70 on hand...I’ll test!

@@PaulJakob Would like to hear if it works with the C70. I've already had to return the Viltrox and now the Fotodiox. Third times the charm with Meike?

@@jburnettproductions I will test tomorrow. Are you against getting the Canon adapter? or is it an availability issue?

@@PaulJakob Awesome, can't wait! I'm not against it at all but yea availability is the issue.

@@jburnettproductions if you’re in the US the canon website has been getting them in stock almost every day. Sell quick but they are coming back.

Agreed! He is the best! Thanks Pradip

Ok great question and situation to be in. Sony is great too. I have a hard time with two things with them. Color (because I’m so used to canon) and menus (it’s like Mac vs PC-nothing wrong with either just wired different) The canon menu is so easy for me. It’s like my Mac. I would do this. Wait if you don’t need to upgrade yet. And make a budget for what you want to achieve with the new gear. See if you can borrow or rent and see how you like it. If I was in your spot I’d take my time because you are investing into your system. It’s hard. Both systems are great. But my bro got the Sony and ended up selling and getting the R. Are you doing video or photo?

@@PaulJakob thanks for the reply ,clearly more into photo so that's even harder to decide ( if I was into video more i think even tho lower bitrate i would have gone A7III ) . In the photo aspect , I'm concerned about the low light on the R and dynamic range although i can only blame me if I need to recover more than 2 stops XD Guess you're right i should be trying both. I really love and know canon system and I'll sure be please by the pictures ...

Where in Canada are you from?! Thanks for the feedback!

Always good to hear from a fellow Canadian! The R would be a great upgrade. The EVF and full frame will blow your mind!

I went from a T2i to the R. Love it! Lots to learn, but I don't regret it for a second! The adaptor not the best with old cheeper lenses

My first camera was soviet-made "Vilia" - that was in mid eighties. It was full-frame! ;-) (can't participate in the contest - greetings from EU)

@@kubace5398 first off...thank you for the sub! I saw yesterday I was close and this is awesome! Thank you so much! Do you still have the that old camera? Sounds cool. Where are you in the EU? Thanks again!

@@PaulJakob I'm from Poland. The camera is probably somewhere around the house but I would have to dig really deep ;-)

Thanks Paul! So first point. It’s as tight as the canon adapter. That being said, I find the adapters to be a little loose in general. The internal steps are similar to canon but maybe more even. I noticed no difference in image from the two. Some people have mentioned if they are not spaced correct it creates extra (unwanted) flare. I hope this helps. These adapters are so reliable compared to adapters even just a few years ago!

Paul Jakob thanks! Yeah Viltrox’ inner threads were even too, so I was wondering why Canon put some irregularly shaped thread inside, there must be a reason for it, but I guess we will never know.

Awesome! Congrats on the new setup. It’s always awesome to get some new glass. So, I did a shoot two days ago with the R6. A friend needed to borrow my R and so I did the shoot with the R6 (that I have on loan until next week). So I noticed one big thing. I like the photos out of the R more. Technically the R6 has better specs but I find the R is more like my 5d3 ( my favorite photo cam ever) and my 5d4. The things I liked more are the way the R has very clear and having some more pixels to crop with. It’s all personal preference...but definitely get that 15-35. It’s so amazing. I’m excited to see what happens in a generation or two of the cameras...but going with a pro level lens for the system you are into...huge win. Thanks so much for watching and the sub! It keeps me motivated to keep doing the videos!

@@PaulJakob definitely keep going! You have great energy, and I think you're gonna find your tribe with your special vibe 👍

@@PaulJakob btw... I think you left out an important word! "the R has very clear..." What? 😄

@@kwameryan haha. Clear raw photos. Just so easy to edit and manipulate. For some reason I find the R6 not as flexible.

Do you know if sooc Jpegs on R/R6 renders same skin tone for portraits? What made you think R has Better images? Rendering?

Yes from my quick tests it was exactly the same. I personally don’t use the digital IS that often so I can’t say if it’s flawless. But from what I could tell it was the same. Hope this helps. I always suggest getting the canon adapter, but they are in short supply so this is a great placeholder until you can snag one.

7.2! Nice! My first digital camera was 3.5 and I was so stoked! Haha. Let me know if you have questions about the R or anything. My hope with the channel is to share info and my experiences over the last while. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Amir!

Thanks for watching! I’d suggest picking one up and then when a canon one comes available snag it. The control ring adapter is great too. I had a shoot this week where I was thankful to have the extra adapter. Are you on the R, RP, R6 or R5?

I have the R6. Actually received it yesterday and realised (surprised) I couldn’t find the canon adapter anywhere.. I don’t usually go with non oem products (trust issues :)) but seems like I don’t really have a choice here.. The video has helped alot though - thank you. I can’t wait to start playing around with the R6!

Nice! Two R’s are better than one! Keep exploring the camera. I find a new feature of tool with it all the time. Thanks for watching!

Oh no way! Awesome I’ll have to look!

I haven’t had any issues with glare. But also I shoot mainly in controlled situations with all modified lights. I’ll have to try. My main suggestion is if you can’t get your hands on a Canon adapter during the shortage, get this while you wait! The steps are so similar, you are correct. Thanks for watching Carlos! I hope to get some more videos up soon.
