R6 - questions with older EF lenses
2 months ago
Hi Gang,
So the allure of the R6 is getting hard to ignore. I'm really temped to add one to my kit. But I've got a few questions/concerns that I haven't fully been able to verify. Hoping you fine folks here can shed some light?
- I assume the in-body IS works just fine with older EF lenses? Lenses like my 70-200 f2.8 Non-IS and several older primes (85 1.8, 50 1.8 Mk1) I would love to have IS for. Same with a Tokina 24-70 f2.8.
- How many stops of IS can I expect on these older lenses? I'm not anticipating 5+ stops, but 2-3 would still be very useful.
- From what I can tell, I'm thinking these older lenses are only going to see 7fps on the mechanical shutter? I can't find much info of people testing and reporting hard facts about the FPS results on older EF lenses. All I can seem to find are tests about eye AF.
Thanks!
