Thank you for your excellent review and video, drasko2015. After studying your review and Jordan Steele's Admiring Light I took the plunge and ordered the Canon 70-200 F/4 lens and a Viltrox adaptor.  The adaptor is worth its price even if it didn't auto-focus very well, but I'm pretty impressed with that too.  A smart adaptor is so much better that the cheaper dumb ones.  The camera and Lightroom recognize the lens data, including automatically setting the focal length for IBIS, which works quite well.  This Canon L lens is awesome, and even 1x1 crops from my A7M2 look sharp and colorful at F4 and up. The look of this great glass is spoiling me, and now I want more lenses that can give me a similar look.  I have a feeling this is going to get expensive!

Your welcome and thx for support! Canon has some of the best glass ever and prices are in a really good range compared to sony. We can only hope that the new FE lenses that are announced will be priced lower, but i wouldn´t bet on that.

I'm new to the site and just saw this post.  I have that Canon 70-200 lens but haven't tried it on the Sony yet...I'm definitely going to have to try it out now!  I've only used it on my 7D.

definetly go for it, its such a great lens for the price 

 

make shure to read my mc11 adapter review, the canon works great with this adapter http://www.dsphotoblog.com/?p=1769

      Looking for an a7R mk I, (second generation)

      By NewSonyUsER · Posted

      I'd really like to find a package deal for an a7R (mk I, second generation) which includes the neckstrap and box. I've searched Ebay and currently no one is listing what I'm looking for. They either have the camera only or a first generation a7R and a lot of them don't offer the Sony neckstrap or box it came in. I know your site doesn't have a formal 'Equipment For Sale' thread and granted Ebay is a better place to sell gear but I thought I'd see if any of the members have one and would like to upgrade to a newer model but don't think anyone would be looking for one that old. The cameras I've been using are in the 20 megapixel range and rather than jumping to a 40mp camera due to file size, the 36mp that the first a7R has was appealing to me and wouldn't break the bank. I've been using Canon and Nikon but really want experience a Sony. If a post like this is undesirable for this website, I understand but I thought I would ask. Thank you.

      Any A7R iv A issues with 200-600 zoom?

      By SonyFF32137 · Posted

      Here's a good thread on the issue.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4571046 And here is the info on the A7RIVA that maybe explains why I don't see the issue...  The change in wording that caught my attention is that the new A7RIVA brochure says the structure has been "re-examined and redesigned." Don't know, but given the text of other parts of the brochures are copied word for word, the change in text here seems significant. My reading of this is that it is a redesign of the A7RIV. In that case, perhaps the 200-600 issues are less severe with the new body.

      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.
