Of course if you fit the EF-S 35mm 2.8 macro to an R series body, with the adapter, you will have to accept that it will be used in crop mode as it is not a full frame lens. That means it will have a smaller field of view (equivalent to 56mm), and a greatly reduced number of pixels (eg 11MP instead of 30MP on an EOS R body).

So perhaps not the best choice, unless you are happy with these limitations.

Obviously it has to be used in crop mode! In the case of macro photography, it is not a problem when we focus on photographing an object and forget about the rest of the area.
No, it is not equivalent to a 56mm in FF, it is still a 35mm. The view is cropped and enlarged but the depth of field is still exactly that of a 35mm and is not the same as a 56mm. It may not be a determining factor, but the difference exists.

It is not the best option, but it is a good option if you already have and do not want to buy the more expensive Canon RF 35mm F1.8 IS STM Macro. As the EF-S 35mm is discontinued. and since not many units have been sold, there are very few second-hand offers and logically those who buy an R system, and are looking for a 35mm macro STM, will buy the RF35mm
