Difference between old and new R5 for wildlife and using an adapter

My questions are these, how much more and why would the R5 Mark ii work better for wildlife photography than the original version?

Second question, I can manage to get the R5 Mark ii but would not be able to afford an RF lens for now,  I am looking to get the Canon 2972C002 lens adapter so I can use the EF lenses I have (Mainly the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens will be used for wildlife and moons shots) Are there any problems I need to know of when using this adapter? I already use one to use my EF lenses on my Canon M50 that is an EF-M mount but everything is different so I thought I should ask.

Looking forward to the difference in image quality,

Well... although the R5II has been announced, as far as I understand it, the firmware is not fully confirmed yet - apparently it's v0.05 which is not a full release, and there is a very limited constituency of people who have access to the hardware.
Consequently, I would hold your enthusiasm and questions until full production versions are available.
Given that the EF100-400 L MkII lenses have worked flawlessly with the R5, I see no reason why they would not work equally with the new version.   It would not be in Canon's interests, or that of their market to let that compatibility lapse.


cheers, TREVOR
