Hallo everybody,

does anyone have any experience with these EF lenses on the APS-c bodies?
I am interested in AF (face/eye detect, tracking).
Also, will IS (85mm) work with the R10?

Thanks for any information, Peter.

Well, I haven’t used those combinations but plenty of others have, mainly on full frame. But they will work very well, including AF and tracking, and IS on the 85. For example my EF 100/2.8 L IS macro works perfectly on my R5, RP and R10. Bear in mind the 85 will have an equivalent FoV of a 135, and the 135mm (it’s f2 by the way) will be like 216mm. Both will feel quite large on an R10 body, and will be a bit longer than you might expect due to the adapter.

I tried my EF 85mm on an R10 briefly and was pleased with the images and the overall balance. I think it would be quite comfortable.
