Are you an A7RII shooter? Very interested to see your findings. I have the 150-600c and a7RII with metabones and although it does autofocus, the greyed out features and compromises of the adapter's two modes is frustrating.

I got mine from B&H last Friday but couldn't open it until Saturday evening i had a metabones4(borrowed from the friend I sold it to plus him and his dog) and my photodiox(yes I'm an el cheapo) EF to FE adapters to do a very non scientific comparison.  I have a large collection of mostly Canon L lenses going back to film days and my priority was testing function with some of those lenses that didn't work with either the photodiox or the metabones 4 (with latest software). I checked them and still no function with either. Lenses are Canon 300mm is f4, 200mm f2.8, 135mm soft focus f2.8, and lastly a 28mm to 70mm f2.8. The 300mm initially did not function at all other than providing a view through the EVF. I realized that the battery was at about 20% capacity switched out to a fully charged battery and and full function but not great function. all the rest of the lenses were full functional decent performance. Then I tried some "new generation" canon lenses like the 16 to 35 f4 wa zoom with is. Performance was much better than with the older adapters faster focus etc. This adapter is a definite keeper.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
