Here are the first images and specifications of the Canon EOS R and the new RF mount lenses
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
not possible due to physics. RF lenses have shorter flange back (20mm) - cannot mount on EF (44mm).
also: most people will only need 1 adapter: EF to RF.
and: mounting crop lenses (like EF-M) on a FF sensor camera is not of interest to majority of users.

Thanks for the response.
So no chance at all, not even an adapter or something?
Purely curious.

That’s one ugly camera. Hopefully though the specs will make up for it (we have yet to confirm the 4K isn’t horribly cropped or some similar crippling).

Interesting times indeed. As I just bought a 6D mk II I am not in the market for this for another 2 to 3 years and I will pick myself the second or third gen of this toy.
As long as the adapter works perfectly (I can inly hope that is what Canon achieved, and I am very optimistic about it as it‘s an original one and they just can‘t mess EF lenses up and are still releasing them...) it is ok. i am no adapter fan but it seems we have to let it go
.
Edit: 1/8000 shutter, 40.000 native ISO as it seems. LED shoulder display that can be „lit up“ more.

I bought my M50 knowing this will - according to Murphy's Law - force the introduction of a FF mirrorless.
But no frustration anywhere because I like the M50's IQ and ergonomics despite the fact that I like real controls. Canon made the interface as good as possible for such a small camera and exploits the potential of the touch screen interface to the max. After a one-week stay in a youth hostel I enjoyed the light weight, compact size and the - for a mirrorless - very good battery life (300 shots, some videos, some substantial image review and "menu work", two bars in the batt indicator were shown at the end).
Maybe the M50 will get a big companion in the near future and I will be happy to have a sub kilogram FF alternative with all the goodies of DP-AF, FF resolution and low light IQ, Canon ergonomics (I am trained with) ...
Lens selection: If the RF 24-105 has very good and consistent IQ (over zoom range / over image up to the corners, good flare resistance) it might be "my lens" for every day use and the RF 1.8 35 macro seems to be a good alternative to the 2.8 40 pancake coming in at similar weight and size (if adaptor is included) for low light/ultra compact/very good flare resistance if it is not a true 1:1 macro with lots of lens groups.
One question: Is the ring close to the filter mount really movable or is it just for look and feel to differentiate the RF lenses from EF lenses? Hopefully it can be used to set f-stop or Exp comp or color temperature or ... - just thinking about a stop-less f-stop setting for video!
And, Canon, please give us a "setting creator software" - these cameras have so many options composing them on a 30" computer display would simplify things dramatically and give us C1 ... C9 at least via the personal menus!

The Camera is too small for me. I had the 60d and the grip just wasent tall enough. The lenses look great, I hope there will be full compatiblity with EF glass. For the future I will not buy any new EF lenses or cameras, but I will keep waiting what RF offers. I really hop for a 7d/5d size EOS R camera!
