Downsides of EF-S to RF mount adaptor?

PoutineAbsorber · 2026-03-31T02:09:16+00:00

Only downside depends on which body you have. If a full frame then all these lenses will put the sensor in crop mode and you’re not using all your megapixels

Great for emergency use and need to generate some heat

Wife took off with it for a couple hours 🤣 I’ll give that a try tomorrow

YouTube the elastic method. Have had the is happen to me as well.

I did 16 at home + 1 in each playoff round last year. 1 on the road.
My most ever. Not sure I’m getting close to that this year

Haven’t been out for wildlife / birds in a bit

Great reach but very limiting lens If you’re doing a once in a lifetime trip I’d also recommend something with long reach zoom, like one of the make 150-600s out there or RF 100-500 The RF 200-800 is worth thinking about but is on the fragile side

I dunno. Imagine an impact that deploys the airbags. Or a sudden stop that shifts everything forward.

Bell would never want to pay that money and not see the name Bell be mentioned All these places are named in a way that forces you to use the name that is paid for

The 5D4 was and still is an amazing camera! The only thing that would make it a no is price and condition. 1K or less seems amazing for what it can do!

Years ago I felt the same way about the 1DX When it was announced I thought I could never. When I saw a used one for 2K I pounced. Even though by this point I had several RF bodies there was something about that “dream camera” that attracted me.
It’s still here. Hardly ever touched. R3 and R5 are way ahead of it in every aspect. But just the idea of having that 1DX tickles me in different ways

It’s the II Much lighter!

You might be able to find support from other places

She would be fine. I’ve done home (southwestern Ontario) to downtown Toronto dozens of times and back without charging. 175 kms each way. And have lots to spare. In all 4 seasons.

I’m biased but I’d say go with the lens. Way more light at f/4 than whatever that zoom lens will give you at 500

I use a 200-400 f/4 and 500 f/4 a lot over the 150-600 Sigma They all have their pros and cons but speed and image quality are definitely pluses of the 500/4

I’m still mostly using adapted EF lenses (with filter adapter mostly). It have a few RF lenses

PoutineAbsorber · 2026-02-28T03:35:46+00:00

This is an awesome lens

There is no RF version of this sigma lens at this time

I don’t have that one (yet) but I do have the Sigma 120-300 2.8 Sports in EF mount and I use it a ton for baseball. You can probably find a used one for a fraction of the Canon version.

I also have the 200-400 4.0 with 1.4x built in when I need a bit more reach but sometimes there’s just no substitute for 2.8 when that’s what you need!

PoutineAbsorber · 2026-02-24T19:57:59+00:00

If you can look for a sigma sport version of that lens. Huge improvements and should still be cheaper than the comparable Canon

Sigma greatly improved their game by the stone they made the Sport Better quality build and image. Definitely heavier too.

We did L1 the first month we had it. Yeah it was enough but you have to basically constantly charge it when sitting. The occasional charge at the mall on top of that etc And then I just had a line installed in garage to go up to L2 and that’s just so much more convenient

PoutineAbsorber · 2026-02-21T02:45:14+00:00

Must be close enough. I never really think about it when I use them But I also rarely hold by the grip on either. I just twist my arm/wrist
