Availability of focal reduction adapter for EF lenses.

This is the first EF-M body where te use of a wide range of EF lenses could be seriously

i cannot see the point of FR adaptors ......you take a compact camera body....put a expensive heavy  glass filled adaptor on it, put a big FF lense on it trying to emulate the IQ of FF but just not  managing it...  but as a by product you get as big and expansive camera as FF

.................just buy a 6D and be done with it ..second hand a 6D is £200-250 GBP cheaper than an M5

M5+meterbones = £1600GBP

6D S/H+ nothing    =£850 GBP

My 5D IS a MK1 classic
