Do you mean the aperture does not change when you change it in camera? Or the aperture never changes even when taking photos? Metabones default "Green mode" is simulating Sony LAEA-3 adapter and it only closes aperture when taking a photo (like a SLR). If you want to aperture to change as soon as you change it on camera body (like native E-mount lenses), you can turn the Metabones into "Advance mode". Here is how http://www.metabones.com/article/of/green-power-save-mode.

I may have this same problem. In my case, the camera does not see the lens at all and displays f-- 

The problem is intermittent and sometimes everything works perfectly, with the camera being able to see the lens and change the aperture. 

I have had some luck with fiddling around with the WO/CF (mode) button on the adapter, but I can never figure out which mode I'm in and eventually the problem returns.
I have written to Metabones and they have offered to examine and test my adapter for the cost of shipping - but shipping is to Hong Kong. I'm in the middle of a project that I bought the lens and adapter specifically for, so I told them I had to limp through the work before I could send the adapter back.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!

      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.
