Take a look at the Mindshift Photocross range, that's what I use currently.

I made a very similar swap this weekend - my old 5DS to a used but minty EOS R from LCE Cheltenham. I can confirm that my legacy lenses work flawlessly Three Canon Primes, 24, 50 and 85 and three Sigma; 24-105 Art, 105 Macro and an ancient 70-200 2.8 zoom all working without any issue. As I...
