its a Tamron 28-300 3.5-6.3 xr di and it takes an age to focus and is a pain actually getting the right focus, an issue i never had on my old 5d iii. its one of the offical canon adapters ( the cheapest £200 one) and i use this lens on my panasonic m4/3 with a metabonz adapter with no issues hence assuming it was the adapter but maybe the camera just doenst like the lens idk

The official canon adapters are just electrical pass-throughs, and should have no impact on lens performance.

More likely, RF cameras tend to sometimes have issues with third party lenses, its fairly hit or miss. Some people have no issues at all, others will have focusing issues (like you), missing focus etc.
