Hello everyone,

Hope you are well and safe.

I am thinking of using this combo: EOS R + EF 85mm F/1.4L IS USM. Just wondering how well does the lens IS work through the adapter?

Just as good on a dslr. It will keep running until you switch to menu or viewing pictures. You can also switch of the camera, or simply turn of by the switch on the lens.

About battery consumption: Switching IS on might be costing the most energy. Once IS is running it likely doesn't consume a whole lot of energy. Probably this is one of the reasons Canon switched to let it run constantly.

Does it work well or not as good as with a DSLR body? This will be my first time using an EOS R body so I'd like to know how it works.

Thank you very much in advance. Stay safe.
