Compatibility answer

Will the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM work with the Canon EOS R6 Mark II?

Yes, with conditions. Works only with the Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R.

Both records are reviewed against the manufacturers' sources; sources last checked 2026-10-14. Informational only: confirm with the manufacturer before buying.

Why

  • ✓ Canon EF mount (DSLR) works on Canon RF mount only with the Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R.

Conditions

  • Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R: Canon EF mount (DSLR) doesn't mount directly on Canon RF mount.

Good to know

  • Needs the Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R. Without it, this won't attach.
  • RF-S (APS-C) lenses mount on full-frame EOS R bodies, which automatically switch to 1.6x crop mode.
  • EF and EF-S lenses only work on RF bodies through a Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R (or the Control Ring / Drop-In Filter versions); they do not mount directly.
  • EF-M lenses and CN-E cinema lenses cannot be used via the EF-EOS R adapter.
  • EOS R50 excludes the RF 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE lens.
  • Requires Mount Adapter EF-EOS R on any RF-mount camera.
