EF mount Adaptall-2s for EOS were made, but were always thin on the ground.
Hardly fair to call the Adaptalls adapters,
as the lenses fit no cameras without them.
I've used Tammy's with OM Adaptalls on the 5D with OM=>EOS adapter.

Yeah, the 80-200/2.8 is a bit of a beast.
Also, the tripod mount will flex, easily leading one to think it's loose,
over-tighten the lens connection - and break
the mount. No, I didn't, but replacement mounts were always hard to find 'cause
people broke 'em. I was lucky/smart
enough to realize where the movement was coming from.

Same for me, except it is a matter of not getting up. My few sunrise images
have occurred when I was up to pee or some
such reason.
Winter, a good view and early breakfast can help.

Fortunately, I have a good excuse at home, where we live on the western slope
of a ridge with lots of trees above us.
There really aren't sunrises to see/shoot here at home.
