The 70-300 L works fine adapted to the R, just like other EF lenses. But I don’t like the balance on the R(P). The adapter makes it a strange frontheavy combo. A 70-200 f4 just balances much better. Apart from that it (the 70-300 L) does deliver.

Interesting, My original thought was to go get the 70-200 f/4L II because its a great lens for sure. When I thought about it more I said why not get the 70-300.

I do have the grip. Originally was not going to buy it because I wanted to keep this kit smaller but found a used on in like new condition for a great deal. I've typically always bought grips for all my prior Canon's and cameras from Sony and Fuji so I figured I could use it if I need it. Actually on mirrorless bodies its a must have if you want to use longer lenses IMHO.  So if I used it with the grip will that be enough you think to balance it?
