Works with all lenses, including third party ones. Why would that be any different?

I wonder if there's a chance they backport this to R5. Probably not…

Yes, worked with my EF prime lens & TC. So not RF only.

Is it true with R7 alone or with all RF bodies?

From the R7 manual:

R7 EVF focal length display (lower right)

Looks like the R10 has it too:

R10 EVF focal length display (lower right)

As does the R3:

R3 EVF focal length display (lower right)

But the R5 does not:

R7 EVF no focal length display

Oh, thank you for your search. R7 and R10 shares many things with R3!

BTW, I just upgraded my R5 to v1.7.0 and checked the display--still no focal length info. I checked the menus, and only "Focus distance disp" is available, not "Focal length disp" as with the R3/R7/R10. I was hoping Canon would back fill this feature on the R5 in a future release, but no.
