Canon EF-EOS R 0.71x Mount Adapter

What is the Canon EF-EOS R 0.71x Mount Adapter and what does it do?

The Canon EF-EOS R 0.71x Mount Adapter is a camera accessory that allows you to use Canon EF and EF-S lenses on Canon EOS R cameras with a 0.71x magnification factor. It essentially bridges the compatibility between the two lens mounts, allowing for a wider range of lens options for EOS R users.

How does the 0.71x magnification factor affect my photos?

The 0.71x magnification factor reduces the focal length of your lens, resulting in a wider field of view and decreased image magnification. This can be beneficial for landscape or architectural photography, as well as for creating a more cinematic look in videos. Keep in mind that the exact magnification factor may vary slightly depending on the specific lens used.
