On the EF17-40/4 the AF works but I don't use it as it hunts. It's not usable unless you have good contrast.Has anyone actually used the speedbooster AF capabilities on their Nex?

I have an EF 100mm 2.8 Macro, and AF does work with the speedbooster. However, it's probably quicker, easier, and more reliable to use peaking and/or magnification. When using AF with the speed booster, the lens will rack focus back and forth a few times, similar to using CDAF on a Canon DSLR. It takes maybe 3 seconds to lock on, so it's not all that useful.Just a curious question. Does anyone think Metabones will update their speedbooster firmware so that Canon EF Lens can AF using the hybrid PDAF and CDAF found in the Nex 6 and 5r?

And since we have been discussing some ML stuff recently here is a link I rediscovered that I had lost a long time ago. Has lots of info on the ML line with lens diagrams and everything.

Two great finds! Thank you.Here's another good one....
Yashica ML Lens
There's been a lot of chatter over the years comparing (VERY favorably) the ML 100mm /3.5 macro to the Contax C/Y 100MP..........half the price.
I've tried two m42 to C/Y adapters......one a $5 no-name from Chine (terrible) and a Fotodiox.....both wobble.....the Fotodiox won't even lock into the SB.The fisheye was m42 and I didn't notice any play or wobble with the adapter and the sb. Now I'm on the hunt for a flek. Our maybe get a ZS like richm.
