I have a Metabones IV which for some reason has never given me the performance that others describe for auto focus.Canon's 100/2 EF USM should do the work, with the Metabones Mark IV adapter, with AF and exif, I believe.
Or Summicron-S 100/2. On Leica SL with the just announced S-adapter L (or natively on Leica S where it becomes 80mm equivalent FOV). Not aware of any intelligent adapter for the Sony system for this marvel of a lens.
I would either consider:When I was a young photographer my favorite lens for shooting portraits was the 150mm on the Hasselblad. Then the 105mm on a Nikon or the 90 on my M4.
I would love to find a 100mm F2 lens for my A7RII for headshots. In my view, 85 is a bit short.
Anyone with suggestions?
I have a mint copy on the way from Ebay for my A7ii, to try as well. I expect it to perform very well. A bonus is also its size.I prefer this focal length as well and shot for many years with a Nikkor 105mm f2.5 on Nikon F2. A marvelous lens for portraiture, etc. When my principal camera was the a850 I purchased a Minolta AF 100mm f2 and paired it with the Minolta 35mm f2. It is a fantastic combination for A mount system. Since I have been shooting the a7, I use the Minolta 100mm f2 with the LAE4 adapter, a Contax/Zeiss G 90mm f2.8, and the old Nikkor 105mm. The Minolta is my favorite, has very accurate AF, and creates fantastic IQ on the a7. I have tried both a Metabones and a Fotodiox adapters for the Contax. and find both to be very cumbersome and sometimes downright ornery. So the Minolta jumps on my a7 most of the time. It is an exceptional lens; probably one of the best lenses in the Maxxum stable.
