Major lens flare with Fotodiox

[mulder32]

I shoot interiors, mainly for realtors, and bought an a7 so I could use my Canon 17-40 lens with.  My Fotodiox adapter has some major flare issues.  I flocked the inside with Edmund Optics flocking paper, but saw only moderate improvement.  Does anyone have experience with the Metabones T smart adapter?  I heard that one, mark iv version, was supposed to eliminate flare.

 

This is quite frustrating, and I know it's not Sony's fault, but it really makes me want to go back to shooting all Canon.

Why not sell that lens and go native? It's not the greatest lens by Canon anyway, and the Sony 18-35 is really good.

You're referring to the 16-35 I'm assuming?  If so, it's way too expensive.  I've kind of noticed that in general with Sony lenses.

Understood, sorry.

Bought a Metabones T smart adapter and the problem is gone.  Returned the Fotodiox back to Amazon yesterday.

The metabones is quite expensive...

If you're gonna spend that money you could just look for a used 16-35... It has great reviews and is much better than the 17-40

16-35 is way too expensive...my 17-40 with the metabones is delivering killer images for me.
