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

Please no offense, but how should we guess your shooting needs, habits, preferences when you do not describe any of it? You should know best how you use your stuff and therefore which of these would suit you the best.

But sure I understand that you want to be inspired by other who might have bigger experience and that is of course very fair.

I have the basic adapter on every EF lens as a standard for most usual use. Plus I did buy the filter adapter with variable ND and polarizer filters since its use is moch more convenient with my lenses: my EF lenses have 3 different filter threads (77, 82 and 105mm) and one lens does not even have any filter thread (Sigma 14-24/2.8). Also operating especially the polarizer filter is MUCH easier on the adapter than on the lens with lens hood attached. For example with 70-200/2.8 it is near to impossible.

The basic adapters I bought are Canons, the filter adapter is from Meike. Its build quality is very equal to the Canon but is WAY cheaper and also its VND filter is a bit better quality (less color shift near max ND settings).

And I never opted for the control ring adapter since I find the ring fully useless with my R6. In other words I can not find any suitable setting which I would need to transfer to the ring since I already have all important settings spread conveniently on the R6's buttons and dials.
