I've done some searching - and it appears the Canon MOUNT ADAPTER EF-EOS R 0.71X seems to work fine with the R7 - but very few reviews/reports - one here:

Appreciate the answer is get the R6 in many instances not this adapter for R7 - but wondering if users out there have more experience of it - good or bad? Functional without issues?

I'd use it with the EF 70-200 f/2.8 II primarily on R7 or R10 - if my R5 had another lens on it and small in the bag.

Interesting adapter, the precise oposite of the more usual 1.4x extender.

If you want ot use full frame EF lenses on an R7, R10 or R50 without getting the extra reach - a 100mm stays just that, not becoming a 160mm field of view.

Perhaps more interesting with the wider angle FF lenses on APS-C?

With this and a 1.4x extender, you can have three choices of 'reach' with one lens!

A bit expensive, but probably good quality glass from Canon.
