Use them when appropriate Yes. It works. It's workable. It's possible. You can do it and achieve fine results. However, the moment one takes an R lens off the Canon and puts the same lens on the R8/DMR everything works flawlessly, as intended, again. Dream come true. And conversely, with Canon lenses on Canon bodies one does not compromise designed functionality of either body or lens. Hacking bits and pieces of different systems together provides real fun and useable yet compromised functionality. Well there you are. Back to systems designed and built to work with their various parts at full functionality. Obviously at the price of the adapters it makes sense to have them in your kit if you have some favorite R glass. But it remains a compromise of the designed functionality of the lens.
