Sorry, this is an easy one (but thanks to the photo-enhancers): Canon SLR with R adapter. Still has the Canon-"D"-shaped lens-mount button in the Canon 3-o'clock position.

 

Too big a body to be a Panasonic G - I know, I own one.

Canon cameras cannot be used with all R lenses, due to a problem with the mount-to-mirror distance.

 

nah its a Canon, but its not FF, def not 5D

the lens has an adapter on it, so its not designed for R mount

its a hack job

 

APSC can use R lenses, it FF that the mirror hits the back

but you can just grind a chunk of the mirror away on FF like i did

and add to the clearance, I use an 18/4 Distagon all the time now

Just to clarify it is only a few R lenses that give this problem, typically the very wideangle ones. Most are perfectly fine on APSC and FF Canon's.

anyones guess is as good as mine, but if i had to guess, I'd say 50D

it seems to have ridge (in the enhanced image) where the popup is, and the definition of the defining nameplate area seems narrower, more like an APSC. The prism height doesn't seem enough for 5D

What if you find the AA filter on the Canon chip too agressive? That's one of the reasons why I went to the bother of going down the Nikon route.

 

 

I find the mirror on the Canon to agressive. Hits the rear elements of al my good R lenses :)
