Changing lenses was very easy. With some adaptors you have to press down a semi-hidden spring loaded catch to release the lens. That wasn't the case with the Cameraquest model which had an easy to press release. There are some metering issues with R lenses on the original 5D - as you stop down the lens the exposure doesn't increase in a linear fashion, however I shot raw with -2/3 of a stop compensation and didn't suffer from blown highlights.
