Thank you. How many of you have relied solely on your Metabones adaptor for your Canon lenses and by-passed all Sony glass? If I were to purchase a Sony lens exclusively for landscape, what is the best choice out there (including primes)?
If you are going to use the a7rII for landscape the Batis 25 is one of the best choices out there. The other excellent choice which I use a great deal is the Canon 24 TSE which you need an adapter for. I use the Metabones IV and have used the 16-35, the 24 TSE, 24-70 and the 70-200. I tried the 300/2.8 but since that is used mainly for sports on my 1Dx i just shot it for fun on the Sony one day.
Intersting note on the 16-35 is that I found that I was shooting it mainly in the 24mm region so I stopped carrying it since I would primarily shoot the 24 TSE in that instance.
The Batis line of lenses are excellent, and the Loxia are supposedly excellent as well. I am looking at a Batis 25 thanks largely in part to the glowing recommendation of a few of the members on here that use it. I used to use the 25 ZE2.0 and got good results on the a7r, but for some reason, sold the lens.
Since you would shoot landscape, AF is probably not as paramount as I usually shoot all my landscape in MF anyway. Just my preferred workflow though. I shoot mainly landscape for my enjoyment and I find that my 24 TSE is mounted to my a7r the way my 40HR was always mounted to my Cambo WRS. It produces the best image quality out of my current stable of lenses.
