- Do you have Canon EF or EF-S Lenses but just got a new Canon EOS R series Mirrorless Body? Like the R10, R50, R100, RP, R, R3, R5, R6, R7, or R8? Not to worry! Canon has the Canon EF-EOS R Mount Adapter which allows you to utilize your old Canon EF and EF-S series lenses on your new Mirrorless Body. The basic versions is called the EF-EOS R Adapter, and it is currently at a $129 price point, and can be found here: amzn.to/48ylx9Z
Instead of having to spend hundreds or thousands on new RF lenses for my EOS R50, I was able to utilize this adapter and get the same performance out of the lenses that I did on my old Canon DSLR body. Want a little more control for manual shooting? For a step up in price at $199, Canon has the adapter available with the control ring to, which can be found here: amzn.to/4aPqywJ
This advanced version incorporates a control ring that's the same as what is on native RF series lenses to give you control of aperture, exposure time, and ISO sensitivity.
I also go through lens compatibility with Canon lenses and whether after market lenses like Tamron, Sigma, Samyang, etc are compatible with this adapter.
I have many Canon EF and EF-S lenses that I love to shoot with like the Canon 24-105mm, 10-18MM, 50MM, 70-300MM, 100MM, and more, and this adapter allow me to still utilize them on an R Mirrorless camera.

Thank you for this video. I am wanting to move from an 80d to an R7 but the thought of my EFS lenses being useless was making me cringe. Now I can get the R7 and use my favourite EFS lenses!
life saver man! this is very helpful
Glad it helped!
I just upgraded to Canon R50 thank you for the easy to follow lens adapter video!
Very cool-thanks!
i just switch from my T3i (i know old as hell camera) and man what a change, thank you for the video brother, helps alot
Glad to hear-thanks!
I have the R7 with several EF lenses. With the EF-RF adapter they work better than ever. But I also have a Metabones 0.71x speedbooster EF-RF adapter. That gives me 1stop light gathering advantage and close to FF lens effective focal lenth. So I can have a 550mm F2.8 effective lens or a 800mm F4 from my 500 F4 is L for instance. Love it
Very cool! Sounds like an incredible setup.
I'm using the Sigma 100-400 on my R50 with the adapter. I'm pleasantly surprised at how fast and sharp it is. 400=640mm
Very cool! Thats an awesome lens!
Cheers mate.
thanks man I have canon r50 so this adapter help me to use ef lenses
Nice! I just shot some with my R50, the adapter, and a canon 18-135mm STM and it was awesome!
I just bought my r50 too and ordered this adapter... Have you noticed any visible image quality loss by using the ef lenses through this adapter?
i have a R 50 too! I love this lil thing!
Can you send the link
I don't have any Ef lenses and R50 is my first camera. Would you suggest getting the adaptor and buy the EF lenses, considering the price difference? Really confused..
Oh my gosh, I just ordered RFS 10 to 18 mm canon lens and it doesn’t fit my mirror less M5 or canon 70d
Thanks for this video. It helps me. I think I’m gonna order the adapter and hopefully it works.
It won't work. This adapter is to adapt EF and EFS lenses to the EOS R series mount. Cancel the order.
I'm using a EOS R for a year, and have yet to buy RF glass. I love my EF ones (have six, 3 L), and still looking for some models. I wont buy RF glass anytime soon.
Nice! What’s your favorite of the L series you have to shoot with?
@@pricklypearcamera Curiosly, one of the same you have: 24-105L. It is not perfect, but It is my workhorse for commercial and advertising work. I use it more than my 70-200 F4 IS.
Im on full frame (EOS R). I have the control ring adapter and love the extra funcionality of the ring to change ISO.
with those lenses you have theres really no need to get RF ones
If I am shooting with a Canon EOS 6D Mark II (full frame) does it make sense to upgrade to the Canon mirrorless for the price? Is the picture quality going to change much if I am using an adapter and my EF lenses? I shoot primarily interior design photography natural light and off camera flash.
Hi! That's a great camera! There are a few main benefits generally to Mirrorless, and it's mainly going to be upgraded 4k video capability, and much better autofocus capability. Most of Canon's R series mirrorless cameras have SUPERB eye tracking and face tracking, which may or may not be useful to you. In terms of using your old Canon Ef/EF-S lenses on a new mirrorless body, with this adapter, they will perform just as well, so it kind of comes down to which Mirrorless body you were looking at in terms of any benefit.
Canon R50, currently I have the 50mm, & ER-EOS R mount adapter. Will I be loosing quality using EF lenses? Can I also use a EFS lens with this mount? Quality of EFS lens? I'm looking for a telephoto lens, (on a budget). Does the multiple of 1.6 work for all used lenses in my search for secondhand EF & RF lenses?
No, you wont' be losing quality with EF lenses. Yes, you can use both EF and EF-S lenses with this mount, both are compatible. And yes, the multiplier would come into play for all (If you had a full frame R series it wouldn't). A good option given the crop on the R50 for an economical Telephoto lens would be the canon 55-250mm STM lens, one of my favorites to shoot with, you can find on the used market in the $125-150 range.
hi, i am switching to canon full frame mirrorless from canon crop sensor camera. I wanted to know if the crop sensor lenses would work fine with adapter attached to the full frame camera. The guy at store told me otherwise. According to him, the canon L series lens would work only that way...
Hello! That employee is not correct, the EF and EF-S line is backwards compatible with the RF series mount on a full frame Canon mirrorless camera. It does apply a 1.6X crop, but otherwise shoots just fine! You can check out a good video on the subject here: ruclips.net/video/SQSIf2eEc28/видео.html
@@pricklypearcamera so other than the fact that I may get a bit of vignette in the corner. The crop sensor lenses would work fine? Also I have a tamron telephoto for the same camera that would also work fine I guess? Thank you so much for your reply, really eases the mind
I just received my Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R for my R50, when I turn to click into place it's harder to turn on then my 50m lens. Is this okay?
I have noticed a bit more hesitation myself when I am affixing the adapter to the R50 body..still locks on fine, but a bit tighter fit than *most* of the lenses that I use.
So I am transitioning from a T2i with EF lenses to the R10, I have a lot of EF lenses, I am getting the EF EOS R adapter from canon for the R10. My question is, so will the photo come out just as sharp, smooth and detailed with the adapter and an EF lens as if I were using an EOS R lens? That is my biggest worry. Thanks!
Yep!
I have used 3 native R/RF lenses on my EOS R50 , and if you compare to the Adapter PLUS EF lenses, optically the performance is basically identical from my experience. I've done a fair amount of research on it and haven't noticed any degradation or issues.
@@pricklypearcamera Got it! Thanks! Just bought the adapter
Do you know if you can attach the Sigma 16mm to a Canon r7?
Hi, what mount type is the Sigma 16MM? is it a Canon EF mount? If so, you can use this adapter and connect directly to it.
I just found out it is a EF-m and it isn't compatible. I'll have to find a similar lens the mean time. Thank you.@@pricklypearcamera
Hey is there any problems with all the weight on the eos R50?
Nope, no issues for me, with heavier lenses like the 24-105mm lens, you just end up holding most of the weight in your lens hand vs, more balanced between body and lens with a heavier standard DSLR camera for example.
It is not true that everything works the same. I've had about 1/5 of the lenses I've tried of third parties that have various problems on a mirrorless but not on a native EF. For example by Tamron 28-70 ATX Pro works fine on old DSLRs, but on my mirrorless R6 with adapter, every time I turn it off, if the lens is in autofocus it will horrible start grinding against the infinity focus trying to go further for some reason. They did NOT use identical interface software like they should have, clearly. A Quantaray 24mm I have also works fine on EF, but on mirrorless with adapter, gives a lens error any time it would need to move its aperture blades (not shooting wide open)
Good to know- I have now tried 14 different Tamron and Sigma EF lenses with the adapter on my R50 and have not had any issues performance wise.
possibly some sort of firmware issue?
While I agree that the EF lenses perform quite well with the adapter, and in some instances perform better thanks to the much better AF systems in the R mount cameras, the RF lenses are considerably better in every way. They are sharper, focus much better, have a lot less issues with CA, flaring etc....They are designed for mirrorless, not decades old designs for DSLRs. If you are just shooting snapshots of family, no need to buy RF lenses. However, if you are doing anything more serious, the RF lenses are going to be better. Ive switched to Nikon and Panasonic because Canon continues to shut 3rd party options out which is absurd. There are much more affordable options if you go with Nikon, Panasonic or Sony.
Some EF lenses CA/flare/sharpness is better than 3rd party E/Z. I don't see any problem of adapting.
Too many "old" ef got hold back by DSLR capabilities. Now those lenses can shine again.
Yeah, we all know that there was nothing "serious" before RF or mirrorless in general, especially from EF.
None of those things are true, unless you're comparing them to kit lenses and such. RF lenses are not sharper etc than good EF L lenses. For example, the EF 35mm L II f/1.4 is signficantly sharper than the RF 35mm 1.8 he mentioned in the video, according to MTF charts. And USM (which the 35/1.4 has) is almost always quicker than STM (which the RF has). I have the RF 35mm as well and it is slower to focus than all my EF USM lenses. It is faster than the non-USM ones though. I got the RF because of the bells and whistles, macro ability, etc. Not because it's sharpest. It isn't.
can we use ef lens canon 50mm 1.8 rfmount adapter any quality issue
I haven't noticed any issues using the 50mm with my EF-EOS R adapter on my R50
When we use EFS lens on EF- EOS R mount, we can’t shoot with full frame. It crops with 1.6 crop which is the sad part.
Strictly speaking - not totally correct. What affects full frame versus crop is the sensor in the camera. So yeah - putting an EFS lens on a full frame camera like an EOS R6 will add a crop factor but putting that same lens on an R7 which is an apsc sensor camera does not add any additional crop factor.
One BIG point you haven't mentioned: adapting EF-S lenses to an RF full frame mirrorless body puts the camera into "crop" mode. Your shooting experience and view through the viewfinder (or on rear screen) will look like nothing is different from putting that EF-S glass on an APSC DSLR. (Of course, you couldn't put EF-S glass onto a full frame EF DSLR).
But having adapted your EF-S lenses to the full frame RF body you will be shooting images drastically cropped, and, if your RF sensor is say 24.2 megapixels (R8, R6, R6 II, RF) you will be shooting images using only about 9 of those megapixels. You will get **much** higher resolution images from an old 24.2 megapixel APSC DSLR. Check your file sizes if you doubt this information.
[A side note: some third party EF-S compatible lenses will not force an RF body into crop mode, but you will then get full sized images with huge vignette.]
[Second side note: EF lenses will adapt just fine; their image circles are sized to cover a full frame sensor. The remarks above apply just to adapting EF-S lenses.]
I don't know about the behaviour of adapting ES-S lenses to RF mount APSC mirrorless bodies. I would guess that this cropping wouldn't happen.
I don't consider that to be an advantage. There were some APS-C lenses with image circles that almost covered full frame that you could use on a full frame (just use 4:5 aspect ratio), which you can't use nearly as well when it forces you to crop.
Agreed, it's not an advantage. @@gavinjenkins899
Hey, I am using R50..
If I use EF lenses with adapter. Will crop factor apply? Or will my image/video quality decrease?
@@devrjcreations5308 EF lenses adapted to an APSC body (R50 in your case) will not be cropped beyond the normal cropping that happens when a full frame image circle is projected onto a cropped sensor . . . the image is cropped.
The issue is the other way around: a lens designed to project an image that will just fill an APSC sensor will not fill the entire area of a full frame sensor. In that circumstance the **camera** will crop down to the smaller image (for JPEGs). Raw images will still represent the full area of the sensor, but depending on your software you might not see the area of the sensor being eliminated by the camera's "cropping".
