Hi
Which one to choose?
- the simpliest/ cheapest one?
- the one with the ring?
- any feedback for the ones with filter?
Thanks

You're asking about the adapter. I initially bought the one with the control ring. It works fine. But then I sold all my EF lenses. I just bought the R6II from a Canadian store that included the regular adapter. I sold my control ring adapter, because I found that I hardly ever used the control ring on it, but I'm keeping the free basic one, in case I ever get another EF lens (maybe I find a used one really cheap that I otherwise wouldn't get in RF mount). The thing to be aware of with the control ring adapter is that the control ring will be right next to the camera body. On RF lenses, the control ring tends to be close to the front. Whether you should get the control ring adapter depends on how many EF lenses you'll be using, and how much you think you'll use the control ring. It's a neat feature, but I haven't found myself using it much, partly because all the R cameras I've had so far (R, R7, R6II) have so many other customizable buttons and dials.

I have no experience with the filter holder adapter.
