Eos R series mirrorless Cameras use the RF style mount. The Eos R is a full frame camera so it needs a full frame lens. RF-S lenses are for cropped sensor cameras like the Eos R7 and R10. Although you can mount a lens meant for a crop sensor camera on a full frame camera, you shouldn't because you wouldn't be using the whole sensor. Canon's lenses for it's DSLR and film SLR Cameras use the EF and EF-S mount. The EF being for Full frame DSLRs and 35mm film SLRs and the EF-S for cropped sensor DSLRs. You can mount a canon DSLR lens to a mirrorless EOS R series camera with the use of a simple adapter. The EF-M mount is for Canon's M series of mirrorless Cameras. They are not compatible with R series mirrorless Cameras or any DSLRs. On a side note a DSLR EF or EF-S lens can be mounted to a M series mirrorless camera with a simple adapter in much the same way as adapting to the R series. So to answer your question directly, you should be looking for a lens that says RF at the start of the model name.

Did you get an answer to this? I'd like to know as well
No.. I used the Canon Upgrade Program for a new camera body earlier this year. You have to give them the serial # from your old part but that's it. You keep your old gear. Presumably you can only use that serial # once.

A major cashback site had 10% cash back, so that was almost as good.

The lens is not fit for my camera.
