Sony a7RII AF test with Canon lenses - video
Well I maybe should have held my words about accepting something that is just different and adapting.
Works so far:
35L
24-70II ok
Doesn't
100L new very, not very well
100-400 II horrible and I use this lens a lot
More to come but so far, I may eat my words of positive input. I find that the camera is hunting like crazy and the target has to be choice for it to lock on.
Which adapter and if Metabones, which version and firmware?Well I maybe should have held my words about accepting something that is just different and adapting.

Metabones IV, with the .41 FW. Not doing well on the 11-24L either. Not good on the 100-400II and not living up to what Sony put out there as a camera that would work with many different lenses since they have even packaged the adapter for EOS lenses in Austria in the past.Which adapter and if Metabones, which version and firmware?
Actually, Guy, it's convincing me to just grab a reduced price 1DX for the Canon glass and keep the MF stuff on the Sony. Imagine, a camera that AFs with ALL Canon glass! And what AF!Yea this going to be be painful for some Canon shooters.
It works fair with the range up to around 300 but hunts some then at 400 forget it. If I am going to use a lens, I want to use all of it. So far not a happy camper as the videos led me to believe this was going to perform far different. Last time I put my faith in web videos like that.I'm curious about the 100-400mm Version II. I used the Version I with the Metabones III and a7R successfully. Some AF hunting, but IS and the other functions worked. Does the AF hunt so horribly that it's rendered useless?
