I use a couple of Canon EF portrait lenses (135/2L & 85/1.8 USM) with EOS R and I don't have any major problems as i keep the shutter speed around 1/200 most of the time. But I was wondering how effective is the IBIS on R6 with these EF lenses. Is it still 5-axis with EF lenses or downgrades to 3-axis?

Some used R6's are popping up here and there and I am contemplating if its going to benefit my STILL images in any way - (No interest in video)?

Thanks in advance

I have an R5 and a 135/2L. It works great with the IBIS on. In fact, I haven't noticed any problems with IBIS using any EF lens.

yeah, that is what i am expecting. i have no plane to acquire RF lenses while i have a plethora of EF "L" lenses.

For lenses that don't have any stabilization, IBIS, even if not perfect, can allow much slower shutter speeds than without IBIS, but that does not necessarily contradict the idea that IBIS added to an IS lens can actually degrade stability slightly.  So, for lenses without IS, IBIS is very helpful for slow shutter speeds, but may be even better if you could turn roll and/or X/Y off in some situations.
