Amazon EOS R6 Listing Now Says “Usually Ships Within 1-2 Months”


Amazon is usually a great bellwether for the stock and popularity of new equipment, as they give a detailed shipping estimate. They’re now showing that new orders for the EOS R6 (at $2499.00) “usually ship within 1-2 months”. The specific delivery estimates depend on location, and range from late-September to mid-October.

This implies that a second shipment of R6 is not expected until late-September, with a third in October, and dealers are still unsure if the second shipment will have enough bodies to cover all existing orders.

This is likely a better situation than the EOS R5 which is now showing no delivery estimate (was previously 2-5 weeks). It may be months before we see that camera in-stock and available.



K&F Concept EF to EOS R Mount Adapter, $31.99 (via Amazon)


There’s currently a major Canon EF-EOS R adapter shortage — but some affordable 3rd party alternatives are making their way to market. K&F Concept via Amazon has the K&F Concept Lens Mount Adapter for EF Lens to EOS R Camera Body for only $31.99. This is sold by K&F Concept and shipped by Amazon.

They indicate this adapter is made with a copper aluminum alloy, and supports full manual control, manual focusing, aperture priority, and infinity focus. A limited quantity is available.

At this great price you could buy one of these adapters plus a Canon adapter (when back in-stock at $99), and still be less than the $165 current asking price.

NOTE: This adapter doesn’t seem to support auto-focus, which isn’t very clear from the description. Auto-focus adapters are going for $49, $57, $58, or $76, with mixed reviews. Luckily everything (including the K&F Concept adapter) are all “Free Return”, so you can buy and try them with little risk.
