Hi guys, I'm looking to update my lense, I'm also a new father and heavily sleep deprived so wanted to ask for advice before spending the money.

 

I have a Canon EOS 5D mark 2 and want to get a Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM Lens.

 

Will it fit?

 

I'm thinking no because the mounts are different, but wanted to double check.

No.  You can get adapters to mount EF and EF-S lenses on an R series camera (R5, R6 etc.), but unless you can turn something up on Google, I don't think there's a reverse option, as the lenses operate in a fundamentally different manner. :)

 

...and no, I'm not 100% certain.  I never am :D

 

EDIT:  R series cameras, and RF series lenses are mirrorless.  Smaller, and lighter than the previous ones, so I'm told.  What?  I can look, can't I? :lol:

Even if such a converter was available  (it isn't) I doubt it would autofocus on a 5D2 with that aperture range.

Sold all my Canon FF gear ages ago and went mirrorless, mainly for the weight and size saving.

Thanks guys, I ended up going with a Sigma 150-600, looking forward to trying it out at the Cosford show in June.
