Never had itwhat?did you sell it?
28mm F2.0. Opinions? My next purchase was/might still be a 16-35 F4 to replace my Canon. But I'm now considering a prime at the mid/longer end instead. For the money this seems a good punt.
I think you are confusing jonney with our friendly neighborhood Sony guruwhat?did you sell it?

What canon glass you have? At least on my a7r2 the 35mm sigma art and 24-70 F2.8. L works nearly as good as native on the metabones adapterHi all. I thought I'd ask here rather than make a new thread. I've got a few Canon lenses and I was thinking of buying a Sony A7ii with adaptor to use them.
I've been reading a fair bit on the matter, but articles I am reading seem to be from a couple of years back relating to the adaptors.
My main concern would be the autofocus performance. As much as I'd like to invest in Sony glass to try it out, it would be too big a spend so that's not an option.

The 85mm u have will work fineRight now I have a 120-300 f2.8 Sigma and a Canon 85mm f1.2 ii.
I'd be looking to add another everyday lens to that mix soon, but don't want to buy anything more until I've made a decision. I don't shoot fast moving sports with the Sigma, just casual stuff.
which version of the sigma 120-300mm?
I am thinking of selling my Sigma mc-11 adapter. I mainly use it with my canon glass (EF 50/1.4, 100/2, 100-300/4.5-5.6, 28-105/3.5-4.5 etc). All work very well
The sigma MC-11 is special in that it emulates native lenses and hence you get all the native AF options with supported new sigma lenses (basically their ART/C/S range of lenses).
With other unsupported lenses (i.e. EF lenses, older sigma lenses and other 3rd party lenses like tamron) it works just like any other adapter and works as well as the more expensive metabones adapter.
With your sigma 120-300mm you will have some usable AF for slow stuff, but you won't be able to use for action/tracking photography.
Here is a video i done showing AF of the 85 1.2Thanks. Good to have a personal recommendation. Are you moving to all Sony gear then or is there another adaptor you've found that works well? I must admit, the sigma seems good value compared to the Metabones.
I recently replaced canon 100mm f/2 with Sony 85mm f/1.8. I am trying to sell my 28-105mm since I don't use it enough. Basically for the 50mm f/1.4 (which I will eventually replace also) and 100-300mm (which i got for £15) I don't need as good an adapter as the sigma mc-11. I can put the money from selling MC-11, 28-105mm (and may be EF50/1.4) towards another native lens.
but in back of my mind I keep thinking do I really need the new Sony 100-400 GM or could I get away with the sigma 100-400mm instead....
That makes sense. It looks like focus speed is good with the metabones. Certainly good enough for me. Now - do I go with the a7ii ot the a7r (a7rii just a wee bitty too expesnive unfortunately!).
i wouldn't recommend it for important stuff where you need to rely on it
You won't get fast AF with adapters with A7R. If adapter PDAF support is important to you I suggest one of A7II, A7RII, A6300 or A6500 (or even A9 I suppose).
MC-11 is as fast as metabones (and sometimes faster too!). It worked better with certain lenses like canon 100mm f/2 and canon 85mm f/1.8 (which is why i got that).
If you are seriously interested I'll start a classifieds thread... otherwise I will simply keep it for now
I've just done a short term swap with a friend of my OM 35mm 2.8 Shift for his OM 24mm 2.8 for the extra width. The Shift lens is excellent and very sharp but I'm going away to Florida in October and took my Samyang 12mm with me last time so need a wide angle. I'm tempted to go further and get a Samyang 14mm along with a Samyang 85mm for portraits too so I'll see how I get on.
I'm heading out on Wednesday evening with a friend to shoot some landscapes so I'll give it a run out and see.
I have read quite a lot of bad reviews of rocky cameras so I have always stayed away from him.
i havent looked yet but i guess as its huff. he loves it, with lots of superlatives chucked aboutSteve Huff's Voigtlander 65mm f2 macro review...
