David,

The R3 is as weather sealed as a 1D series. The new multi-function hot shoe is designed to be weather sealed with the new speedlites such as the EL series. However, for older speedlites you need to use the AD-E1 to maintain weather sealing.

But if you don’t need the weather sealing when using flash (I only ever use flash indoors), then you don’t need the adapter.

Indeed, as I said in my first post to this thread 😀.
