EOS R10 locks up with Rokinon 14mm f/2.8ED AS IF Lens

I have a Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 lens with the EF mount and AE control which I normally use on my EOS 6D MkII with no issues.

When I bought the R10 2 years ago I also bought a Viltrox EF-R2 adapter. 

This combo works flawlessly with all my EF lenses on the R10 except the Rokinon.

With that lens the camera locks up as soon as I press the shutter button. Only way to free it is to pull the battery & that's not a good thing to do.

Tried it on a friend's R5 with the same results both with my adapter & his Canon one.

Here's where it gets interesting.

Earlier this week I was at Gene's Camera in South Bend. While my buddy was shopping, I was telling a sales rep about the issue.

At his suggestion I got the lens & and adapter from the car. We put it on a used R6 he had in stock and it worked perfectly. Also tried it with a used Promaster adapter with the same results.

Is there perhaps an R10 menu setting that could be changed so that this lens/adapter combo could be used on the R10? Have been looking through David Busch's R10 book and the manual with no luck.

Any help is appreciated.

The lens has no ring. The aperture is set by the aperture control on the camera. “

Using the passive adapter would mean no more error messages.  But you would be shooting wide open, always.  The adapter is inexpensive.
