I have a Viltrox which works fine. However, I also have the Canon OEM adapter. I bought the Canon OEM adapter for heavy lenses like the sigma f/1.8 zoom, just to be sure.  The Canon adapter is also the best for avoiding flair issues.

If you're attaching the combo to a tripod, attach it to the adapter or the lens, NOT the camera. The M cameras aren't designed to be mounted on tripods with heavy adapted lenses.

Look, I'm not a guy who's always buying OEM stuff. Third party options can save a lot of money. But in this case I would go with the Canon adapter. The Viltrox is fine for the 50 f/1.8 stm or the 24 f/2.8 stm or even the 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM.

For anything heavier and also front heavier I would get the OEM adapter.

I love 50mm (equivalence)
