Re: What is the impact on using EF mount adapters on the M and RP?

We've heard a lot of bad things about adapters ad failing AF, and I still hear those but it comes from peoples that use cross brand adaptors like EF glass on Sony bodies,

Canon is not stupid, EF and Ef-S lenses work like native lenses on EOS M bodies,

Now we still hear about weight... The adapter is a high precision tube with contacts, the lightest lens there is is still heavier than the adapter, may be not the all plastic 50mm about the same weight and body plus adapter is still lighter than DSLR

The only impact would be that you use lenses designed for bodies with quite larger grip than the EOS M bodies so you need to adapt the way you carry the camera and hold lenses you would not hold on a DSLR

If this is an issue you can get a larger grip,
