Hi everyone! I just got a new 6d Mark II body and attached a 50mm lens with an adapter. I am using new SD cards and every time I take a picture there are these dark shadows that show up on the picture. Sometimes I can see the shadows in the viewfinder but not on the screen if I switch to it.

Since that's an EOS 6D II, it would require EF lenses. What specific version of the 50mm lens did you purchase? It shouldn't require any adapter.

Outside of that, potentially a problem with the shutter. Where did you purchase from?

What specific 50mm lenss are you using that requires an adapter to mount on a 6D body? 

I have an EF 50mm 1:1.8 STM

I’m using a 50mm 1:1.8mm STM that I previously used in my 5D Mark IV

The large viewfinder makes the camera look like the EOS R6 Mark II. Not the EOS 6D Mark II so we need confirmation from the OP on this. All EOS R series cameras have a large VF compared to their DSLR counterparts. Also which 50mm lens is it Canon or a 3rd Party lens we need the full name not just 50mm lens. Are you using a Canon brand mount adapter or 3rd Party mount adapter. Stick with the Canon brand mount adapter. 3rd Party Mount adapter are nothing but problems.

OH WOW I totally typed out the wrong camera body. I am indeed using a R6 Mark II. I bought a canon brand control ring mount adapter EF-EOS R. The camera lens that I am using is a 50mm 1:1.8mm STM

Can you confirm the camera and mount adapter you're using. No EF Mount camera needs an adapter for EF lenses. Are you sure you don't have an EOS R series camera like the EOS R6 Mark II

So sorry I’m actually using a R6 Mark II body I typed it out wrong in the original post.
