Hello,

Currently, I have 5DIV and 7DII.

I am interested to buy an Eos R7 for the 30fps and Eye AF.

Eye AF will be great as i find not easy to follow for example a bird into the viewfinder and simultaneous select the right AF Point ( Spot AF 7DII ) in case of using 500mm + 1.4 TC.

My question is to know if one of my lens ( 500 mm F/4 IS v1 ) will be compatible with the Eos R7 to keep 30fps in electronic shutter mode.

Has someone experienced this ?

Thank you,

Hi NicoBr,

Welcome to the Canon EOS R Talk Forum!

I've been able to find the below via the Canon Canada web site. Make of it what you will.

(Note we have an R7 but not this lens, so have no actual experience of using the pairing).
