Canon Control Ring Mount Adapter EF-EOS R

Canon Control Ring Mount Adapter EF-EOS R

Q: What does the control ring get you that the basic adapter doesn't do?

They both adapt the lens to the RF mount, both use the same method to do so. Both have the same performance. The only difference is the control ring adds an additional control in the form of a dial that can be programmed to do several different things. This can be anything from changing the aperture, the shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation (what I use it for), white balance, AF mode, and so on. It can only be one at any time, and you would set it up in the menu in the same way you would customize any other control. I would say if you have the R5, R6, or R3 then it is mostly not needed, mostly just a luxury that cost an additional 100 bucks. This is because those cameras have additional controls on them that can take the place of the ring. If you have the R or RP, then it might be a good idea to get the ring since they lack in the controls the other cameras have. Or, if you just want it, that is fine too. Otherwise, your lenses will behave exactly the same. If you would like more info about the adapter, you should check out the review I have on my profile.

Q: Does it work with ef-s 24mm f/2.8 stm lens?

It actually does, yes. The adapter allows the use of all EF and EF-S lenses. However, as that is a crop lens, it will place the camera into what is called "crop mode" to mimic the smaller sensor size the lens was made for. This means that only 40% of the sensor will be used, and that certain video modes will no longer be accessible. So this is more or less just a way to help users coming from the older crop systems (like the Rebel line) to the new full frame models, where unlike the EF full frame cameras you can actually use your crop lenses on them via this adapter. Older DSLR full frame cameras had a mirror that could impact the rear of the smaller lenses, and that is why they could not be used on them. The new RF models no longer have the drawback, but the lenses still have too small of a projection to fill a full frame sensor, and thus the sensor "crops" down the images to make it so it works normally. You do lose some of your resolution, 60% roughly. So 20mp becomes 8mp, 30mp becomes 12mp, and so on. While it will work, I wouldn't suggest it as a long term solution, but at some point Canon is going to release RF crop series cameras, and this lens will be just fine on those. Maybe sometime late in 2022, or early 2023. In the meantime, as long as you don't mind the crop mode, this lens will work, but if you want something that works fine without the crop mode, gives the same general framing, look at the following... EF 40mm F2.8 STM - also a pancake lens, its basically the full frame version of the 24mm, and is also pretty affordable. RF 35mm F2.8 IS STM Macro - Probably the best "cheap" 35mm lens for the RF system. Usually 500 USD new, but sometimes reduced to 400. Surprisingly good lens, and does not need the adapter to use on an RF camera, but will not work on EF cameras.

Q: If i buy the ef eos r adapter, do i need this control ring? tia

Technically no. They are both adapters for EF lenses to the RF mount, both perform the same function and they do it the exact same. However, this adapter cost twice as much, but adds an additional adjustment dial that can be set to change an individual setting. If you have and R3, R5, or R6, it really isn't much help, since they have three control dials. If you have the R, RP, R10, or R7, then it might be worth the extra 100 USD.
