The T to M adapter is also needed to use R lenses on the SL and I imagine that's what I will do more often; however, I did get this because it will autofocus, supposedly very efficiently. I will start out using the 24-90 to learn how to use the camera. I've printed out the manual and will start to study it tonight!
