The EF/RF adapter must be used, as I am sure you know. With it any Canon EF-s lens will mount on any Canon R Series body, not just the RP and R5.
I mention those two models, based on pers exp.

But, still you've failed to mention the need of EF to RF adapter ...

Any Canon R Camera needs lens converter to shoot EF lens. Shoul be well recognized by now

Has Canon made the decision to no longer produce EF lenses? I knew that they have decided to kill all new designs but I was not aware they were discontinuing manufacture of existing designs.
Canon has discontinued SOME EF and EF-S lenses.
The following Canon lenses were officially discontinued in April 2021, though some still are available in stores:
EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
EF 14mm f/2.8L USM
EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Macro
EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM
EF-S 35mm f/2.8 IS STM Macro
EF 40mm f/2.8 STM
EF-S 55-250mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM
EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM
EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM
EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM II
EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM
EF 85mm f/1.2L USM II
EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
EF 100mm f/2 USM
EF 135mm f/2L USM
EF 180mm f/3.5L USM Macro
EF 200mm f/2L IS USM
EF 300mm f/4L IS USM
EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM
The following Canon lenses may have also been discontinued:
EF 35mm f/2 IS USM
EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM II
EF 400mm f/4 DO IS USM II
EF 500mm f/4L IS USM II
B&H Photo still lists 56 Canon EF and EF-S lenses (including some of the above). 39 are full frame EF, 17 are crop-only EF-S.
In addition, there are around 150 million Canon EF and EF-S lenses that have been sold the last 30 years, so there are huge numbers of them on the used market.
As Canon itself and Canon users gradually transition from DSLRs to mirrorless, the prices of DSLRs and the lenses to fit them have dropped and in some cases are exceptionally good values. On the whole, EF lenses have not dropped in price as much as the cameras, probably in large part because EF lenses adapt quite well for use on the RF-mount mirrorless cameras.

I wasn't finding fault with what you posted. I just mentioned the details you left out, which, as you stated, should be common knowledge for any experienced Canon user at least, because I never cease to be amazed (amused?) by how common knowledge is often uncommon here on the Hog. There is a lot of common knowledge, for example, about Nikon or Olympus or whatever, that I know nothing about. Probably a good bit about Canon also, come to think of it!

I am not sure but do Canon give discount on EF lenses? I don't think they are any cheaper now.

Fdir enough. Interested in a Canon product (or any product), anyone should feel it necessary to do a little reseatch on their own.

You would think so, but often common sense is as elusive as common knowledge.

Hard for me to feel resposibility for the shortcomings of someone else. Where does it end?
