Looking for feedback from users.

 

Any improvements?

 

Especially with longer lenses like the Sigma 150-600?

A commenter on SAR said the EF 135/2 L AF works

 

That's fantastic news to me!   Looking forward to try it myself.  Would be a huge win if 70-200ii now works well at 200mm

With the previous metabones firmware 0.41 the a7r2 would not reliably auto focus Canon 24-70 f4 L IS (newly purchased), especially in the 50-70 mm range (which was horrible).  After installing the metabones update (firmware 0.43), auto focus works very well.  This is in single shot mode.  Count me as one happy camper!

100-400 I now works at full length without having to change the distance selector switch

AF with Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 now works.

The latest Metabones firmware seems to have wreaked havoc with using my Sigma 50 1.4 Art lens.  If I mount it with the button on the Metabones pressed, I have zero focus capability.  Un-mounting and doing this over without the button pressed only allows zone focus!  Has anybody else had a different experience?

I have the same lens, I have no issues.
