Thanks Joe according to Brian's list the 135 and 200 version II work with the Viltrox adapter. This might be worth a try for someone that has those lenses.
I find .41 but not .42. .41 was done before the A7RII was released so it is not optimized for the II.Have those using the Metabones IV adapter updated the firmware to the latest version?
It is V.42, when I updated my adapter my 300 F4 L would work to change aperture. Before the update it did not change aperture or focus. It also would auto focus but slowly. Will test with A7RII when it arrives.
Link to page on Metabones site. Firmware Window or Mac option on right.
I just tested a Canon 20mm F2.8L II, and a 50mm F1.4. Both change aperture and focus (slowly) with both the Metabones IV and Fotodiox adapters on an A7II. Based on what has been reported with pre-release sample A7RIIs those lenses should work with much improved AF on the A7RII. Adorama confirmed mine is in the que for shipping. Should get here Friday or Monday.
Ops. That was a typo.I find .41 but not .42. .41 was done before the A7RII was released so it is not optimized for the II.
Ebbtide posted above that the 400 F5.6 was a no-go with his Metabones Mk IV. This guy though says his 400 F5.6 worked great with his Metabones Mk IV, but he's unable to test further any time soon. Another guy on that thread is renting a 400F5.6 to try himself.I am wondering if amyone has ahad any luck with the 400mm f5.6? I have the Fotodiox adapter and it works beautifully with 24-70II and my 70-200 f4 but it doesnt do anything with the 400. I believe the 400mm is only 4 years old. Thanks
Hi Spence, I just stumbled on this in the FM forum which I put in quotes below. It's about problems with the 100-400 ii, not the 400, but I'm wondering if a change in settings might affect AF on the 400 or any of the other lenses that might be problematic.Ebbtide posted above that the 400 F5.6 was a no-go with his Metabones Mk IV.

Contadictory information so far, but it doesn't look too good. I guess there's still the Viltrox to try?
