RF2x Extender compatibility with EOS R50 and RF-S lenses

[g_khajanchi]

Hello Team,

I has Canon EOS R50 (RF-s18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS stm & RF-s55-210mm f5-7.1 IS stm) Mirrorless kit. 

Extender RF 2x use with above kit or not. And what is effects on photography.

Due to the design of the Extender RF 2x it can only be fitted to specific models of the RF lenses, which does not include your RF-S 18-45mm and RF=S 55-210mm lenses. This is because the extender has a protruding front element that sits inside the rear of the lens it is fitted to. There is no space in your lenses for the extender. 

The following lenses can be used with the 2x or 1.4x extender;

• RF 400mm F2.8 L IS USM
• RF 600mm F4 L IS USM
• RF 600mm F11 IS STM
• RF 800mm F5.6 L IS USM
• RF 800mm F11 IS STM
• RF 1200mm F8 L IS USM
• RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM
• RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM
• RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM (only when lens is zoomed to 300mm or more)

Canon does not make any extender for these lenses. Canon extenders only fit the lenses listed above.

From the picture below you can see how much the extender protrudes. This is not possible to fit inside your lenses, or many lenses. At this time I am not aware of any extenders from other companies for the RF lenses.
