Doesn't work on RF mount with adapter

Works great on my EF Canon DSLR. but doesn't work with my mirrorless HF mount with adapter. I also sent it back over a week ago and still haven't received a refund. I like the RF version.

Pros
  • handy
Cons
  • So far so good

It's worth it if you can't afford a Canon RF lens.

I misunderstood that this is for an EF lens which I thought was a good deal. but wanted an RF lens. I was working with the R5 camera and was having trouble focusing. Not fully compatible with Canon R5.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion

A decent lens for its price with a slight autofocus issue.

Autofocus stutters intermittently and requires lens to be removed to correct. When you try to focus on a moving target, it searches back and forth and "forgets" when done enough, where infinity is. The only way to fix this was to remove the lens and then reinstall it. Very uncomfortable. Aside from the autofocus issues, the lens is quite comfortable. Feels like learning. The focus ring has a longer travel than I expected, requiring more than one turn to go from minimum to maximum. There is some

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something different
