I am planning to buy this camera but would like to know if it's compatible with the Tokina atx-i 100mm f/2.8 FF Macro Lens for Canon EF that I already own. I know some non-Canon EF lenses won't work with the new mirrorless cameras. Does anyone know about this particular lens? Overall, I like the lens - it suits my hobbyist needs. Thank you!

If you plan to use other Canon EF lenses, then just buy the Canon mount adapter and try it.

Yes that's what I'm hoping. I may even go ahead and buy both the camera and the lens at the same time if I can find that deal and sell the Tokina. Now that I have a bit of experience, there are a few things I don't like about the Tokina...

I can't speak for the Tokina lens, and I am not certain by what you mean as "working". I own the R6Mkii, have a Canon EF lens adapter, and every EF lens I own (and borrowed) has worked on this, and on my old Canon RP.
In addition, I am a film shooter, and own a few dozen old film lenses. With the proper mount (for example a $10 M42 to EF adapter) I can mount these to the R6Mkii and they all work - but with manual settings. I set the aperture on the lens, I adjust the focus. Nothing automatic about them, but they "work" exceptionally well.

Thank you. What I meant by "working" is whether it would still autofocus if I wanted it to. And it does. I bought the R6m2 with the EF mount adapter about a month ago and immediately tested the Tokina. Very glad I don't have to buy another macro lens!
