Greetings ,

The R6 comes in 3 variants. , R6, R6 mkII and R6 mkIII. These body's have a full frame sensor.

All of them will accept RF and RF-S lenses natively. EF and EF-S lenses can be adapted.

But isn´t EF or EFS, ascs lenses and not full frame lenses. But if they can be adapted I´m happy because I have an ascs and in the future eventually In I pretetend to upgrade my accessories.

If you only have one lens I would not waste money buying the adapter. Of course that does depend on which one you have but usually money is better spent on native RF lenses for a R series camera. IMHO, I would not adapt any EF-s lens.

EF is full frame

EF-S is APS-C

A Canon EF to RF adaptor is a good thing if you have EF lenses. I've nearly replaced all of my EF lenses with RF lenses, but there is one EF lens that I will continue using. It's a 28-135 IS zoom that I got in 1998 for an Elan IIe. It works beautifully on my mirrorless Canons via the adaptor.

Moreover, there are a lot of used EF lenses that can be had for cheap.

With those things in mind, Tell us what you have and what your aspirations are.

Please read this article. It's a short read from Canon Europe and it will help you understand the difference between full frame and aps-c lenses.
