Has anyone tried the EOS R cameras for macro? I am curious whether the AF works for macro down to 1:1. For my EF cameras, the phase-detect AF gives out at about twice the mfd. I am thinking maybe the contrast detect AF of the EOS R would enable AF down to the MFD in the viewfinder, which would be quite nice for macro work. Thanks, T.
It works fine with my 100L.
The EOS R does not use contrast detection for autofocus, it uses DPAF, a form of phase detect which uses the actual data on the sensor to focus.
I find that any of the dual pixel cameras focus well with the 100L at 1:1 when in the live mode using DPAF, I've had a SL2 and have a 5D MK IV as well as EOS R, all AF fine at 1:1 using DPAF. The usual rules of requiring contrast apply, that is sometimes more difficult using 1:1.
