Very nice eye catchlight good idea using iPhone for "flash"
So...... went into jessops noticed they had a metabones iv with a7 ii for 1279 which I thought was cheap to start with as would get 100 cashback but then the guy told me that sony had 10 percent off the alpha bodies this week guess who walked out with it for a shade over 1k and has got 100 cashback on the way..... updated metabones and camera to latest firmware used a few canon lenses to check focus ridiculously over exaggerated that it is slow for focus even with my 70 200 2.8 can hardly tell the difference now wow
One cheap Canon lens I can think of is the 20-35mm usm.Interesting to hear about the Canon AF performance on the A7ii as much was said about the A7rII but not much about the a7! There's a few cheap used Canon lenses that I think would complement an A7ii nicelybwhere there aren't really a lot of Sony equivalents.

the focus wasn't great until firmware updated to 2.0 and then I updated the metabones iv to the latest firmware to take advantage of 2.0 on the a7 ii
honestly night and day difference totoally unexpected I have 6 lenses ( maybe i got lucky that my lenses are compatible etc) have tried sigma art 35mm 50mm and 70-200 f2.8 is and a few other l lenses and they all work fantastically baring in mind I'm inside as its raining and light is low I really really am over the moon at it
twist yep read up about the firmware when I tired in shop it was v1.21 I believe got one out of stock updated when I got home with it very happy .....even in this dark light
Hope you have put it away for SantaSo...... went into jessops noticed they had a metabones iv with a7 ii for 1279 which I thought was cheap to start with as would get 100 cashback but then the guy told me that sony had 10 percent off the alpha bodies this week guess who walked out with it for a shade over 1k and has got 100 cashback on the way..... updated metabones and camera to latest firmware used a few canon lenses to check focus ridiculously over exaggerated that it is slow for focus even with my 70 200 2.8 can hardly tell the difference now wow
Canon 100mm macro l lens arrived today.
Just waiting for the fotodiox adapter to arrive now. I know I'll only get manual focus- but that's fine for macro. Interested to see the results on the a7rii.
I've very nearly replaced all my nikon glass now. At a huge loss of course.
How will you stop the Canon lens down?
As far as I know it works the same way it would on a dslr? Just without autofocus

On the body. The adapter has electronic functions, af, aperture etc.
Ah, gotcha. Didn't know Fotodiox made smart adapters too
Agreed, I wasn't expecting a detail improvement with 14 Bit files but just curious about the file size.
Having studied a few RAWs I would say the that there is little point in me switching from my Merrills in favour of the A7 II based on detail resolved, they are quite clearly superior.
I think the A7R II is going to be the only possibility from that point if view. There are of course other factors but......
I always thought the lack of canon dr was exaggerated cant lie this a7 ii is in a different league fair play
Bet they are cider drinkers oh haSurely they should be down the pub?

Fotodiox adapter (canon to e mount) arrived today. Well built, but no caps??
Tried it on the canon 100mm l macro. Autofocus is terrible. Granted I've have only tried it indoors but looks like I'll be sticking to manual focus. Not quite sure how Brian Smith Came to the conclusion that it's "fast and accurate" autofocus.
The metabones is the best adapter to use.Perhaps because he's on sonys payroll.

Anyways I heard you are getting a a7r2 for Xmas?
