EyeAF Comparison Metabones vs Sigma MC-11 Canon to E-mount Autofocus Adapter Here's a video by Luis Gabriel Photography showing the EyeAF difference between the Metabones Canon EF/EF-S Lens to Sony E Mount T Smart Adapter vs the Sigma Mount Converter MC-11 . The camera used is the newest a7r iii camera controlling a Sigma 135mm f/1.8 Art lens. The video shows how viable it is using Canon EF lenses on the new a7r iii . This makes switching systems easier.

Low Light with the Speed Booster and Contax 50mm Planar

Image
Songstress. Here are some photos from a wedding we invited. All we were equipped with was our trusty Sony NEX-7, a Metabones Speed Booster, and the Contax 50mm Planar - a gem. The Speed booster gave us an effective 55mm lens at f/1.2, necessary for this low light event. Double trouble. The NEX was set to shoot jpeg only in black and white with contrast and sharpness at negative two. This made the post-processing much easier than usual with cropping as the only requirement. Tequila ice bar. Holding court.

Red Hook Crit Brooklyn No. 9 with the NEX-7.

Image
We took the subway down to Red Hook - Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, which is definitely a place for bikes since the nearest station is a mile a way. We had a nice compact setup with the Sony NEX-7 and the Contax 50mm Planar via the Metabones Speed Booster. The Speed Booster effectively gave us an f/1.0 lens with a 55mm focal length. We have some static shots but it takes away from the sensation of speed that the women were achieving on the track. Above is the lead pack during the race. We only had 2 minutes between each lap until we saw them again. It's always fun to watch the Red Hook Crit even though it was cooler than usual. We did pretty well with a manual focus lens during a sporting event. I wonder what the Sony A6300 with its advanced autofocus tracking can manage.

Canon 100mm L IS Macro on Sony A7 via Commlite Lens Adapter Commlite Canon EOS/EF to E-mount Lens Adapter Video by FILM...SOUND...COLOR Here's an inexpensive Canon EOS/EF to E-mount lens adapter by Commlite. If you are a Canon shooter and have looked into switching to the Sony A7 series cameras, you probably know of the Metabones Canon to Sony lens adapter. Commlite has their own version which is about 1/4 the price with all the same features. Both lens adapters will allow your EOS lens to communicate with the Sony body. The Image Stabilization feature will work and autofocus as well, although slowly. The Commlite lens adapter comes in black and off-white to almost match your Canon lens. This adapter works with the full frame Sony A7, A7R, and A7S and APS-C sensored A6000 and NEX cameras.

Canon 6D vs NEX-7 with Speedbooster

Canon 6D vs Sony NEX-7 with Metabones Speedbooster Tarocoo wanted to see what the NEX-7 with the Canon EF to E-mount Speedbooster can do against his full frame Canon 6D . He had access to a multitude of manual focus lenses which can be used on both E-mount and EF mount (EOS). The Speedbooster's final EFOV on the NEX APS-C sensor is about 1.1x the focal lenght - so the EFOV is close to the Canon 6D with the full frame sensor. The lenses used are: Sigma 24mm f/2.8 Sigma 28mm f/2.8 Olympus 35mm f/2.0 Sigma 50mm f/1.4 The images will show the whole scene at wide open to an aperture of f/11. It will be followed by center and corner crops at same aperture range. Here we go...
