Decided to just travel with my 35mm, spent too much money already to justify the 450 for the 16mm

@FireMikelArteta I had to get it, wanted an RF lens to try out the camera with today as my only other lenses are Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 and EF 50mm f/1.8 STM. The EF/RF control ring adapter wasn't gonna be here till Thursday, surprisingly it came today.

Photo dump coming, 1st day with the mirrorless, I'm a believer. @FireMikelArteta this control ring is fukking TRUTH :whew:, got it mapped to change the ISO. Every camera made should have an articulating touchscreen. Absolutely love this EOS R, a bit smaller than my 7D, feature list like a brand new car.

@FireMikelArteta Thanks, I used the RF 50mm f/1.8 for those. All of them natural lighting except the shoes/gloves shot, used a strobe on that. Oh yea, I love Canon bodies and lenses.
I regret it every day I didn't get the adapter with the control ring but I'm going to get one this week. Looks like the saying is still true, buy once cry once. Now I'm going to have two adapters for nothing.

What tripod did you get? My wife has a manfrotto 190x4. Trying to decide if I should just get one too or if there is anything else out there I should consider?


Manfrotto Element MII. That’s from research, not expertise, but it gets here tomorrow so I’m putting it through its paces this wkend :ahh:

@JD2019 I had a salesperson at a camera shop put me on last year to the control ring adapter. Told me spend the extra hundred its worth it if you have non-RF lenses to have that extra dial, because you will get used to having it using the RF lenses.

That’s exactly what happened too. I’ve been using a EF 70-200 f2.8 and miss the control ring a lot.
