so i have an eos r and currently use an ef adapter with my older ef lenses because rf lenses are too expensive (i had to get a loan out for this camera i cant afford a lens that is the same price again or more) i want to get something in the range of 14-16mm maybe a telephoto like the 15-35 f2.8 but its again ott expensive so my question is would i be better off getting more EF lenses (the adapter is a little slow with one of my lenses but find with the other two so kinda hit or miss?)

Hmmm that doesn't sound possible, the adapter doesn't affect lens performance. Is it an old non-Canon lens with a possible compatibility issue?

or should i get one of the new rf-s lenses like the 18-45 4.5-6.3f stm or the18-150 3.5-6.3 is stm? and just accept that itll be cropped?

No, because as well as the loss of resolution, the crop means you won't have a 14-16mm field of view.

If your budget is tight, the best solution is EF lenses. They work really well with the adapter. The EF 16-35/4L IS is superb.
