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?) 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?

As long as you're ok with an 11.8 megapixel image.  Have you looked at 3rd party FF lenses for Canon EF and adapting them instead?
