Canon EOS R System: Compatibility

[@DTSquared]

So he says @3:31 there are only two limitations. The screen then lists two very pretty obscure limitations and a vague reference to "some video restrictions". But he doesn't clearly point out that with EFS lenses you can NOT SHOOT 50FPS IN FULL HD. EFS lenses restrict you to standard HD (1280 x 720) at 50fps. Talk about misleading, I wonder why they mentioned no Focus Preset on older super-telephoto lenses but completely ignored that major video limitation???

[@ArkiDeos]

This is good for us having already a bunch of lenses. Great..

[@drakeybabe]

Do the mount adapters still retain the weather sealing throughout the L ef lenses and the eos r body?

[@rohanleander]

My question is can you use any EF-S lenses even 3rd party ones with these adapters ?

[@Ed-kg7vu]

Most probably yes.

[@oasean]

Canon isn't going to tell you that you can use third-party lenses.

[@nickalmand]

Yes, but you may have to crop in post. It doesn't seem to recognize that it's a crop-sensor lens

[@angelllacuna8889]

I think Canon does not provide the option to purchase de EF-RF adapter with a drop-in clear filter, instead of the polarizer or ND filter that is included presently.

[@sunnyus101]

So I understand the reduction to 12mp image on the full frame Canon R when using an EF-S lens compared to an EF-S lens on my 70D crop frame 24mp. Is the final image the same quality on my 70D 24mp as on the full frame Canon R when it is reduced to a crop frame when using an EF-S lens?

[@CanonUSA]

Hi Mark! It is difficult to draw a comparison between two different types of camera here. The way that the cropping of the frame works is different in both cameras. However, even with the crop, you still have to consider the benefits of the full-frame sensor over the APS-C sensor. If you were to compare an image from both side-by-side that was the exact same size, we think you'll be very happy with the image quality from the EOS R. Plus, if you need a higher pixel count, you can always use an EF or RF lens on the EOS R and still enjoy superior image quality. We hope this helps!

[@Tekgila]

The DROP-IN FILTER MOUNT ADAPTER EF-EOS R comes with the filter or need to buy the filter separately?

[@JamesJacksonFilmz]

It comes with either the polarizer ($300) or the ND filter ($400)

[@Tekgila]

@@JamesJacksonFilmz Thanks

[@donafied]

Are you going to be providing a drop in filter mount for "RF" lenses?

[@benhatto]

Probably on the super telephotos like the EF versions

[@galesal1109]

is the new canon Eos r camera consider a professional camera?

[@MarioCastro4]

It's a "Pro Mirrorless Camera" How ever any camera in the proper hands can be a pro camera.

[@JanVillim]

Rudy ...thank you, perfect! Top ring, adapters, gps only external adapter...

[@joe.tinervia]

Rudy, Ef-s lens are automatically cropped to 1.6 when mounted. My guess is because of the effective image circle of th he lens. Any way to override that to take advantage of the full frame? For example, using the ef-s 10-22mm and not having it automatically crop? I'm willing to live with vignetting or softness at corners to get that wider angle.

[@sahni94]

Hi Canon.. I am an old canon fan boy... I am going to purchase EOS R next month... One of my Friend already purchased it.. but I need to know one important thing... When my friend Mount the EFs 10-18 wide angle lens on Eos r... due to crop factor his RAW file size from 30 MP to 12 MP... so, will it compromise the Quality of the images? ?

[@CanonUSA]

Hi Jasmit! Since the crop is physical and not digitally applied, aside from the decreased available resolution, image quality should not be compromised at all. We hope this helps!

[@benmetamosaic741]

does it compatiible with 3rd party ef lens like tamron 27-70 G2?

[@nickalmand]

I would guess that as long as it's an EF mount then it will. It probably won't automatically detect that it's a lens made for crop sensor, so you'd have to crop in post. That's what I've seen so far at least.

[@roelofjansevanrensburg9467]

Dear Canon , Where can I find an EF to Rf adapter in Indonesia...it seems impossible to get this item, I can buy a kit (Body and lens) but I cannot find an adapter on its own. Nikon includes it in their Z series (Body only).

[@CanonUSA]

Hi there! We recommend reaching out to our friends at Canon in your area by going to Canon.us/jjml then selecting the appropriate region and country for local support options. We hope this helps!

[@cars4review]

I am going to buy a Canon R for workout videos but I don't know what kind of lens should I use with canon R . what's you guys recommedetion for video lens?

[@CanonUSA]

The type of lens you get depends on the type of subjects you will be recording. For example, whether you will record just you, or a group of people. Will you need to record close-up or full body shots? How far away will the camera be from the subject? A standard zoom such as the RF 24-105mm f4L IS USM, is a good, multipurpose lens, to consider. I would suggest you contact our EOS Team at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666) Monday - Friday 9:00 am to 9:00 pm ET. Saturday 9:00 am to 7:00 pm ET, excluding holidays. Team members can discuss your specific setup and make the best recommendations.

[@cars4review]

@@CanonUSA just me I record my self. thank you for your help

[@mickmcmick8247]

But wont the EFS lenses drop down the resolution? Please, I need clarity.

[@CanonUSA]

Hi, Mick! When you add Mount Adapter EF-EOS R, the EOS R can use all EF and EF-S lenses without compromising any functionality. With EF-S lenses, the camera will crop the resulting image accordingly to take advantage of the lens' optimal focus area. Learn more about it at canon.us/qzrvk Hope this helps!

[@djspecialpaul]

Hi - i hope i get here some Infos -> work the AF fast and snap with the high-end Telelenses like a EF 500mm f/4L opr Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 ??.

[@CanonUSA]

Hi there! Using the adapter, the EOS R will work with large telephoto EF lenses like the EF 500mm f/4L IS USM. We hope this answers your question!

[@djspecialpaul]

@@CanonUSA Ok and fast enought for high-speed ..??

[@tobre8815]

Will there be a crop factor for the "old" L lenses? What is it? 1.6?

[@CanonUSA]

Hi Tob! When using an L-series lens with an EF mount on one of the new adapters, there is not a crop factor like there is with EF-S mount lenses. We hope this helps!

[@jeanoliveira5099]

I could not find anywhere on canon website what is the restriction for video recording on the eos R using an ef-s lens via adapter. glad if someone could answer this. this restriction is stated in this video, at 3:31. thanks

[@CanonUSA]

Hi Jean! The limitation when using an EF-S lens is the necessity for cropped video recording because the lens would not otherwise cover the full frame covered by the sensor. We hope this helps!

[@lmallard3788]

Are there any compatibility issues using ef 100-400 is2 with ring adapter on eos r?

[@CanonUSA]

Hi, Drake! When you use Mount Adapter EF-EOS R, every EF lens becomes compatible with the EOS R including the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM. It doesn't create any compromises in focal length, aperture settings, or autofocus capabilities. Learn more about the adapter at canon.us/smjy3 We hope this helps!

[@tatski2274]

I sold all 8 L lenses before this camera came out but no regrets!

[@prasanththecrazy]

ef lens also crop or ef-s only crop in eosR ., i hve EF 50,EF 70-200 lens using adop its crop or not ?

[@CanonUSA]

Hi there! The 1.6x crop is when using EF-S lenses. With EF lenses, images are captured in full-frame. We hope this helps!

I'm waiting 200- 600 mm for mirrorless lens for canon

[@brianjenquine4304]

Why would I upgrade from my M50? I cant use any of the lenses I have for that camera!

[@CanonUSA]

Hi Brian: If the images provided by your EOS M50 meet your needs, there is no reason for you to upgrade. If instead, you feel you need the higher resolution, winder lens selection and great low light performance of a full frame sensor camera, you might want to consider the EOS R. You are correct that your existing EF-M lenses are not compatible with the full frame EOS-R camera. We hope this information is helpful.

[@MrPixelution]

Drop in filter for eos m and dslr pls...

[@AgnostosGnostos]

The single SD slot is the worst aspect of the Canon EOS R. a great omission by Canon. At 2:45 he points out that EF-M lenses from the Canon APS-C mirrorless cameras aren't compatible at all with the Canon EOS R. Not even with an adapter. Very unfortunate for owners of previous Canon mirrorless cameras.

[@wm21121]

I own the EF-M camera(M-6), and this is fully expected. The EF-M mount is much smaller. There are not many lenses in this system, anyhow.

[@gordonjohnston684]

If you have a 5Ds or 5D MK4 Camera you wouldn't be able to use the new R lens on these Cameras! You are been discourage from invest in the new R Mount Lens, unless you buy in to the new R camera with its single Card slot. and no IBS, there is nothing to get particularly excited about. I am left once again, some what underwhelmed. Do you ever listen to your customers Canon? Canon and Nikon are going to get your asses kicked if you dont wake up and smell the coffee.

[@oasean]

The single SD slot is the camera's worst aspect?! Yeah, if you store SD cards in a shower stall. The worst aspect is something about normal performance, not rare occurrences. If one card slot were its worst aspect, the R would be-at $2300-the world's best camera deal.

[@SuperEddietv]

I still dont have an answer on the effects of increased focal lengths with this setup. In astronomy, its a big deal. If anyone has a response, I would be grateful. Thanks.

[@dxkaiyuan4177]

Why isnt it compatible with EF-M? One of the great advantages of the Canon dslr system is the smooth upgrade path from cheap rebels to pro level bodies. Now this won't be possible with canon mirrorless

[@PrimeInChina]

And, if you were using a rebel system you would be able to upgrade and continue using the lenses.

[@ce8091]

How does it not have IBIS for that price point? No IBIS, cropped 4k, 1 card slot, and slower fps than A7 III for $300 more.

[@franktorres7963]

C E most people don't need that. I do weddings and use Canon for photos and videos. I don't need any of those things. Would be cool to have though. I'm also very excited because I just ordered mine. Heck yeah brother! Cheers CE. FRANK from LA

[@PrimeInChina]

IBIS is insanely overrated. The technology isn't very good by anyone yet. The GH5 has decent stability with IBIS+Lens stabilization but for anything of movement you will still need a gimbal or a monopod. I've also never had an SD card fail. I understand it happens, but it isn't something that happens often. FPS is also an insanely overrated feature people go on and on about. I rarely see a video and think "Man, this video would have been so much better with 120 FPS." When I see a video I'm unimpressed with it is usually real world application issues, not camera features. The truth is, even cheaper entry level cameras are pretty amazing now and lens is more important than body at this point. But the most importance is how well you use the gear you have. Oh and if $300 is life changing, you should make some better life choices. Cameras aren't a cheap hobby to have.

[@SimpL1968]

Omg I'm in love

While I prefer a dual SD slot, I can live with a single 128gb card.

Panos Kanderes you must be using a true cinema camera **cough cough** cause why would you be bashing a photographer camera for not having the best video features. Those $3000 glass is not aimed at videographer market, that should be the first clue. It’s a camera that’s aim at photographers that has good video features. Go look at the red dragon and complain why it doesn’t do photography

[@oasean]

Darn it! The R won't autofocus at EV -1000 and f/32?! And at $2300, it doesn't have a sensor made in 2025?! Canon, wake up and listen to us crybabies who, blending real specs with fake specs peppered with irrelevant specs, await the perfect camera to give us our big chances to become leading photographers.

[@oasean]

marioslrzn, for what it's worth, Full HD capped to 60fps instead of 120fps is quite yesteryear-while comparatively thrifty rivals already offer 180fps-especially for a camera that, ironically, actually is spec'd like a pro video camera. Of course, the R doesn't have S-log. It has C-log and, indeed, 10-bit 4:2:2 (recorded off-board).
