Canon R3 with 180mm Macro, MP-E 65, and MT24EX Flash

I have the opportunity to utilize the aforementioned equipment in an upcoming trip to photograph small reptiles and insects.

I am familiar with the lenses and flash as relates to the Canon 5D but wonder if the lenses and flash would be acceptable with the R3. I have the adapter to allow use the EF lenses. I'm not certain of the degree of functionality of the flash with the R3.

I don't have the camera as yet, therefore the questions are asked in advance. The R3 is being rented for the trip, along with some other RF lenses, for the bigger wildlife.

Appreciate any helpful thoughts.

If you can fit them they should work,as they seem to be current Canon stuff.

I have used the EF 180mm on my R5 along with a Godox MF12 flash for Canon with no problems.
