Is it really worth $100 more than the one without the control ring? Especially when the other one is included with the camera rn null

Question

Ryan · Accepted Answer

Yeah it definitely is worth it if you shoot manual or a custom setting often. I have one custom setting that uses the ring for ISO and another that uses it for the shutter speed depending on how dim or bright the lighting is.

Although you have to own enough EF Canon lenses to justify it, RF lenses have their own control ring built into the lens body out at the end of the lens.

Good luck, also I think this might have an ND filter option although I haven't used it, I'm not certain.

Yes, that is correct. when you look at all the details of the adapter such as improved weather sealing and the functions the control ring enables for EF lenses that wouldn't be possible otherwise, you might consider it worth the money depending on your profession and intended use.

By what I can tell the answer is no. It gives you control of camera functions from the lens. I shoot with an R so the controls are on a touch screen and very easy to change.

it is for me but for others not.
its a personal preference.

The adapter without the control ring is 1/2 the price, and a 3rd party adapter (also w/o adapter) is 1/4 the price. So is the control ring worth $150. Nobody can answer that for YOU. Only you can decide how valuable the control ring is to you. An RF camera lets you program the function of the control. Check your camera's user manual to see which functions can be selected for the control ring. If you think using the control ring would be useful to YOU for any of those functions, then you have to decide if the extra price is warranted for that convenience with your EF glass.

Because the touch bar is lame (on the EOS R) I’m finding it useful. Workflow seems improved.

Abeille · Answer

Yes, it is worth it. Once you get used to the extra ring on native RF lenses I think you will miss having it for your EF lenses.

I LOVE having the ring. Set it for ISO and I have the entire exposure triangle right at my fingertips. ISO with my left hand, shutter speed and aperture with my thumb and index finger on the other.

Hi. I love the control ring and since I have a lot of EF lenses, I am able to use the control ring with my EF lenses on my EOS R camera. If you plan on replacing your EF lenses with the RF lenses then you won't need this adapter or if you don't care to use the control ring. I will plan on replacing my EF lenses when more RF lenses come out but hopefully I get my money worth out of it before that happens. :)
