Re: Is it still worth it to buy EF lens for eos R ?

The new 70-200 looks delectable in its own right.  If you want a shorter lens (albeit, one that externally zooms), then wait for it because its own characteristics.

Otherwise, there seems to be little disadvantage to running an EF lens with the control ring adapter.

I'm continuing to use my EF lenses with a single adapter kept on my EOS R.  That's because I've also got five EF mount cameras that I'm continuing to use.

But those cameras are long in the tooth and need to be put on a replacement schedule.  That means I either buy an adapter for each new R camera replacement and continue to use EF lenses, or run the replacement cycle as fast as my cash flow allows and buy new RF lenses.

Now that I've written it out, it's likely I'll just buy an adapter for each new camera.
