Re: The affordable way to go Full Frame and Mirrorless

The EF-RF adapter is great, and really should be considered a mandatory accessory for any R-system user. The EF catalog provides many great lenses (not just from Canon but also e.g., Sigma Art lenses which are excellent on the R-series cameras).

Also worth noting is the existence of adapters such as the drop-in filter adapters (available from Canon, Kolari, Meike, etc.) which enable the use of filters (adjusted by the camera — extremely convenient) that work with every EF lens, and Speed Boosters (I have a Metabones) which reduce focal length by 0.71 and which are useful on APS-C bodies and for certain crop modes (e.g., for the crop 4K video mode on your RP).

I think Canon will ultimately eventually replace the RP with another entry-level FF MILC. But the R6's price will also drop with time, too.
