The Canon EOS R will begin shipping to customers on October 9, 2018, if not sooner

And how did you take such beautiful shots with cropped 4k? :D

Anyone get to try with RF adapter and Tamron lenses? It's killing me to find out if the 24-70 G2, 85mm 1.8 and 100-400 function normally.

Mine arrived this afternoon, just put on my Tamron 70-200 f2.8, it worked fine!

Coming from a 4 year old 6d it's a huge jump, I mainly take stills. If you put it into crop mode my 200mm is turned into a 320mm. Very handy.

My card was charged today and I have a delivery date via FedEx of Thursday. Anyone have any guesses as to when the 28-70 will ship? I ordered at the same time as the body. B&H moved their expected date from December to October 9th as well but mine hasn't charged/shipped. Appreciate any info anyone has![/
Got a WhatsApp saying I could collect my R body today
Great, only issue is the R-EF adaptor is part of the Canon promotion deal and is not available till the 15th
So until then I have a mirrorless and lensless Canon
Lucky white heather

Thank you for the update! Were you using the G1 70-200 Tamron? I have that lens and would be overjoyed to find out it functions perfectly on the RF adapter.

I received my R and CR adaptor. So far I really like the camera. But I have an issue with one of my lenses. With the the Sigma ART 35, I get concentric rings in the EVF, rear display, and worst of all the actual image!! Take a look at some test samples (please forgive me for the crappy white balance...I was in a rush and forgot to pay attention to that). The ring pattern changes as I stop down the aperture.

I have a Sigma ART 50 and Canon 70-200 2.8 II that do not exhibit this behavior. I don't know if this is an issue with the CR adaptor, or the R, or if the lens need firmware update.

Anyone experiencing this?

MARVELOUS shots @Shane1.4! Which 35mm lens did you use? The 85 looks to be a stellar performer. My EOS R arrives Thursday, I can't wait to get it.
Thanks! You are going to love it. I read lots of stuff online but having it your hand and using it is a whole other thing. It is a really well done camera! I used the 35 1.4 II and the 85 1.4 IS. The buttons are so customizable it is crazy compared to the 5d4.

Go into the settings and turn off the lens corrections.

I'd love to hear how Sigma 50 and 135 Art behave on the eos R, if anyone could test for us ^^
50 Art works great! My copy has always been great though. But with the focus being digital now it is incredible. I have all the lens corrections off though because I do that in post. All that said, I preordered the RF 50mm 1.2. So excited for that lens!!!

The Sigma 35 and 50 ART work wonderfully. Super fast and precise AF performance. I had one issue earlier with the 35 but it turns out it was due to some in-camera lens correction. After disabling it, it was fine (see my posts above). Thanks for the tip @Shane1.4!

EOS R, 80D

My R came in yesterday. I LOVE how this camera feels in the hand. The grip and the material it's made of are incredible. Way better than the 80D I upgraded from. And the reviews/previews weren't kidding when they said there's a ton of customization on this thing. You can change the function of just about every damn button and dial on the camera. It's insane.

Sadly, the EF-RF adapter didn't ship yet and I didn't buy any RF lenses so I can't actually use the camera to take photos yet. Anyone know what's up with that? Seems like every retailer I've contacted said the adapter won't release until Oct 15th. Amazon doesn't even have a release date listed at all and my order's estimated date is November 20th right now.
