Canon EOS 6D Mark II Body on sale

Calahonda52

Looking at this
https://www.photospecialist.ie/canon-eos-6d-mark-ii-body

its selling at 1,350, down from 2,100 so any reason?

The FF is the key determinant but I want the video also.

Coming from a EOS Rebel xTi with the following lenses

50mm.......1:1.8 II
EF 16-35 1:2.8 L II USM
EF 28-80 1:3.5-5.6
EFS 18-55 I think this came with it.

Will these lenses work for making videos which will mainly be made for posting technical instruction on websites.

Does not seem to allow a mic to be plugged in which could be a problem

Thanks as always.

Anything else occur

Could be Canon are pushing the EOS R series and reducing the 6D Mk II prices.

You can't use EF-S lenses on the 6D or any Canon FF camera. All the other should be fine.

Canon EOS RP with adaptor a better option definitely then 6d MK2.
Not sure if EF-S lenses can be used with adaptor, might fit the adaptor however vignetting might occur.

The RP is mirrorless and it can use EF-S lenses but you will get a vignette. With 6D and other Canon FF DSLRs (5D), an EF-S lens can obstruct and potentially damage the mirror but RP does not have a mirror plus the adaptor pushes the lens further out.
The RP, being mirrorless, has an electronic viewfinder. This is one of the biggest differences between a mirrorless and a DSLR. The RP has a low res viewfinder than the EOS R. Just be cautious.

I went with the RP as there was limited availability, paid for it yesterday, it arrived now so thanks to all of you.
Much appreciated

Am a bit puzzled

Just getting around to trying different lenses in this camera

I have these

50mm.......1:1.8 II

EF 16-35 1:2.8 L II USM

EF 28-80 1:3.5-5.6

The last one is the only one that fits the body :(

Any thoughts?

Thanks as always

Any RF lens should fit the camera, as should any EF or EF-S using the EF/RF adapter.

The first two are better lenses. I don't know what you're doing wrong.
