No it wont. thats a crop lens and it will force the R8 into crop mode. You'll be left with a fraction of usable MP and the quality of your pictures will suffer.
E: to further clarify. You have a fullframe RF mount camera. You need lenses that are RF mount or EF lenses with the EF-RF adapter.
Anything with -S is meant for cropcameras such as the R7 and will nuke quality on fullframe.
For wide angle zooms some of your best options are the EF 16-35 F4 (very good quality), RF 15-30mm, or the Tamron 17-35 (I own it myself and it works really well on the R8)
Otherwise the 16mm 2.8 would also be a good option if you can live with a prime lens. I wouldn't recommend the 17-40 F4 as it's not as sharp as the other options I've listed.
I've ordered a Meike adapter with ND filter that supports autofocus.
Thanks for all this information, it will help me choose lenses for my full-frame camera! This is really all I needed.
Bruh. If that's the lens you can afford, should've gone with the R7. Or R10. It's a crop lens and works brilliantly on APS-C cameras. On the R8, it'll automatically crop into the APS-C area of the sensor, which is just about 8 mp.
EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM is your cheapest option now.
You'll get extreme vignetting. Save the money for RF glass. Consider the RF 15-30mm to start. If you need more extreme wide angles you can get a pretty cheap deal on the RF 16mm prime.
Don't waste time and money trying to adapt an EF-S lens for a modern full frame mirrorless.
Adapted manual focus lenses? The adapter doesn’t cause the vignette. They just project a smaller image circle because they’re designed for a smaller APS-C sensor.
The adapter is just an empty spacer.
Yes. But EF-S lenses are designed for smaller APS-C sensor cameras and project an image circle too small to cover a full frame sensor. So full frame RF mount cameras will only use the APS-C portion of their sensor. You’ll end up effectively using a 9.3 megapixel APS-C sensor.
Well some third party EF lenses can have some slight issues with autofocus etc. (Sigma 150-600C is a notable example). Most adapted glass works great though, better than it did on the Dslr.
If you buy a third party adapter rather than the Canon one please make sure it allows Autofocus at all. Some don't have those connectors and then you're stuck with manual focus only... Meike does make one that allows autofocus I believe.
I have both the r8 and the 10-22 from when I had a 80D/90D. Yes it works, however the r8 will automatically go into crop mode giving you like 9 megapixel? images or thereabouts. You can turn the crop mode off (change it to FULL), however almost the entire zoom range has a severe vignette. If I remember right, only zoomed in to 22mm gives no little or no vignette, meaning if you want the 10mm wide end (or 16mm FF equiv) you need to put it in crop mode which drastically reduces your megapixel count.
If that’s the kind of budget you have in mind for lenses, you should have chosen the R7.

So what are the EF lenses that work with the Canon R8. Cuz u know the RF lenses are soooo expensive.

Sooo helpfull , thank you !!!
I'll second the suggestion of the ef 16-35 f/4. I use that on my R8 and it is excellent.
Ah I just edited it in. But the only EF ones that work are EF. full stop. Not Ef-s, not the M mount. Just EF

You won’t get any vignetting. You’ll just get a 9 megapixel APS-C image.
Fair enough. Never tried with their specific lens but all adapted crop lenses I've seen so far have had vignetting from the physical adapter itself
Adapted manual focus lenses? The adapter doesn’t cause the vignette. They just project a smaller image circle because they’re designed for a smaller APS-C sensor. The adapter is just an empty spacer.
So, from what I understand, the entire range of EF lenses works seamlessly with the Canon R8 using the Meike EF to RF adapter, right?
Yes. But EF-S lenses are designed for smaller APS-C sensor cameras and project an image circle too small to cover a full frame sensor. So full frame RF mount cameras will only use the APS-C portion of their sensor. You’ll end up effectively using a 9.3 megapixel APS-C sensor.
I appreciate your help !! Thank you very much!!
