With the release of Canon's R-series full-frame mirrorless cameras, the EF-RF lens mount adapters extend the range of compatible lenses designed for attaching any EF or EF-S-mount lens to the EOS R-Series mirrorless digital camera. Canon offers four different version of the adapters:
- Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R (MSRP $99 USD)
- Canon Control Ring Mount Adapter EF-EOS R (MSRP $199 USD)
- Canon Drop-in Filter Lens Mount Adapter with Circular Polarizing Filter (MSRP $299 USD)
- Canon Drop-in Filter Lens Mount Adapter with Variable ND Filter (MSRP $399 USD)
- Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R 0.71x (MSRP $599 USD)
At the time of this post, these adapters are either hard to find, have a long back-order whether it be from Amazon US, Amazon CA, Amazon UK, B&H Photo, Adorama, Canon's online store or even price gouged on eBay.
However, if you are in need of an EF/S-RF lens mount adapter immediately for a project or vacation, there are other alternatives from 3rd party manufacturers. We've compiled a list of brands and where you can purchase them. The adapters retains full auto-focus and image stabilization capabilities and contains no optical components, thereby maintaining the original optical quality of the mounted lens. The only difference between OEM and 3rd party is the material quality and added lens/tripod collar (if applicable). They don't break the bank like the Canon or the price gouging from 2nd hand markets but it will hold you over until you're able to find a Canon version or if you feel the need to get OEM.
You never know...you may end up liking the aftermarket ones and saving some money.
We’re continuously working to improve this list by adding new adapters and removing the ones that are no longer in production. Please if you find any new or missing adapters that will need to be on the list. Price may vary from listed pricing. All pricing is listed in USD.

Benro
The Benro Aureole is a detachable drop-in filter mount adapter that features a filter loading system. The new adapter / filter holder is available in two variants: one (RC1) adapts Canon EF glass to an RF mount camera such as the EOS R5, the other (RE1) allows the use of Canon EF glass on a Sony E camera such as the popular a7S III. The trick to this adapter is certainly that it can accommodate up to two drop-in filters. Both square and circular filters are supported. Small thumbwheels can be used to adjust the filters, e.g. to set the desired strength of a gradient ND filter or to adjust a circular polarizing filter.

SPEED BOOSTERS
60p FHD video does not work at all.
Filmmakers are now able to mitigate most of the 4K video crop factor of EOS R (1.75x) and EOS RP (1.63x) and reduce it to 1.24x and 1.15x respectively. The field of view is now much closer to still photo mode.
Model: MB_SPEF-EFR-BT1
Price: $479 USD
This 0.71x Speedbooster Adapter for EF/EF-S Lens to Canon RF-Mount Cameras from Meike is a great way to expand the possibilities of your Canon RF-mount camera by extending its compatibility to include Canon's wide array of EF and EF-S lenses while maintaining essential functions like autofocus, aperture control, and anti-shake. This adapter also increases your lens's effective field of view by slightly reducing its focal length, while also increasing the aperture by 1-stop.
Viltrox EF-R3 Mount Adapter allows Canon EF mount lens series to pair with Canon RF mount cinema cameras especially for Canon EOS C70/Red Komodo models. The adapter offers a 0.71x focal reducer, supports full dual-pixel, IS lens stabilization and electronic aperture control. It also enables EXIF info transmission and provides a USB port for firmware upgrade.
Model: EF-R3
Price: $268 USD

The Adapter Cap is specially designed for Canon Drop-in Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R with Drop-in Circular Polarizing Filter and Drop-in Variable ND Filter. When the Drop-in Circular Polarizing Filter or Drop-in Variable ND Filter is not mounted, the cap prevents dust from entering the adapter, thus protecting the camera's CCD/CMOS, and prevents light leak as well. There are two adapter caps included in the package.
