I too am interested in this adapter. I would like to get the bundle with the clear filter for $129. BUT when I go to check out I'm charged $153. This includes the eos r adapter. NO matter what I try I can't get the $129 bundle at check out. Would someone please correct me. This is $ 213.69 CDN. no bargen. no discount. Thank you all for any help.

The 70% off coupon is only valid with the VND or CPL filter.
You could buy the other filters separately at the regular price and still remains a good deal.
I ordered it with the VND filter and will order the CPL filter later if the adapter is any good.

For clear, I'd use the normal adapter without filters, is dirt cheap at $37 like this.

The adapter should be a little long (by about ⅓ the thickness of the filter glass) to take account of refraction through the filter and minimise its effect on the lens corrections, so there's a theoretical problem with infinity focus for short focal lengths without it. You would need to tape the slot up to keep dust and stray light out too. The CPL filter on mine is uncoated (unlike my Kolari CPL filter). Even the coated Kolari filter can introduce flare spots with my extreme wideangle if the sun is only just outside the frame.

I think for internal filters like these, it doesn't matter that is no coated since unlike external filters, there are no extraneous light to protect it from.

That's not my experience. But I do like contra jour lighting.

The Ykeasu adapter with the CPL filter after the coupon is cheaper than if you buy the Clear filter separately, $32 vs $39 lol
In fact I just went ahead and bought the second one, one for the R and this one for the M, the filters are compatible with both mounts and also with the Canon OEM filter adapter.

For sure, the CPL is not the same as the Clear filter, but can act as one indoors or outdoors at certain angles.

But as I said before, the standard EF-M adapter is cheaper, less glass and sturdier than any of their filters. So no real need for the clear filter, IMO
The only minor inconvenience is that you'd need to swap the standard adapter when switching to the VND filter, but on the positive, you can leave one of the adapters "fixed" to one of your EF lenses.
