I recently bought an EOS R with the EF converter for my EF lenses. I have used the EF Converter with my EF100-400 and an EF 1.4 converter. With the EOS R this combo will focus, whereas it would not focus with my EOS 7D. The EOS R will focus down to at least f/8 (equivalent) whereas the older cameras will only focus to f/5.6. My advice is if you are going to have all R cameras, buy native RF lenses. I have a full selection of EF lenses from my past cameras and that is why I have the converter.

The r will actually auto focus down to f11 (f5.6 lens with a 2x tc) and that’s with all points, even the best dslr’s will only do f8 and that’s usually only with a few central af points.
