Hi

Sorry everyone for the confusion, yes I meant the Adapter for EF lens on a R body.

From what I see, the ring is nice, but very usefull, unless you really like to use the ring on RF lens to have the same type of customization.

Thanks for your reply

The ring is useful with the EOS R. That body can make good use of another control.

Many people use the ring to control aperture. I use it in manual exposure mode to control ISO and in auto-exposure mode to control exposure compensation.

I especially like using it to control exposure compensation while shooting stage productions with exposure simulation turned on. I can ride exposure with my left fingers while controlling focus and shutter release with my right fingers.
