I'll be interested to hear your experiences. FWIW, I didn't have a lot of great success with any EF lenses adapted to the R7 though perhaps the later FW's improve the situation. The 500 f/4 IS II in particular was not as good as the same lens+1.4tc on the R5. I much prefer the 100-500 on the R7 though the f/7.1 is a killer for lower light.


What was the issue, the AF or other?

I found the contrast was not as good, it demonstrated more CA, and the AF wasn't as consistent though this may have more to do with the R7 than the lens. It may be that at this relative pixel density that the R5 approaches the acutance limits of the lens. The 100-500 which I don't love on the R5 (would much rather have the 500 IS II even with a tc) seems to perform better on the R7.
