p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Metabones and Canon 100mm II macro IS failure


FYI: Last week I attempted to use my Canon 100mm Macro IS on the A7R and found that it would not present the F stop on the LCD or EVF, or autofocus. My Canon 24mm F2.8 II and my Canon 28-300 work properly. I am waiting to hear back from Metabones for a solution.

Yes, it is funny, sporadically some lenses do not work with AF and the Metabones III adapter. I observed this on my Canon 50/1.4, but also on the Sigma 150/2.8 macro lens. Some other non-USB based AF lenses work without issues, for example the older Canon 100/2.8 EF macro lens.

Mounting my Zeiss ZE lenses on the Metabones III adapter would completely lock up the camera and the LCD screen would black out. The Metabones is on its way back to B&H now.

not many lenses that will work base on metabones website. People forgot to check the "tested lens".

My lenses are on their "tested" list... and I assumed there would be a subtle difference between "working" and turning the camera into a brick...

Obviously you got one that works (so far...)

Mine would work okay for one or two shots and then then the screen would go black and the camera would lock up until I powered it off and removed the adapter. No issues using Canon lenses on the same adapter, but using either the Zeiss 21mm f2.8 or 100mm f2 ZE would lock up the camera again every time.

I have had no problems with all six of my ZE primes nor Canon TSE lenses. They have all worked perfectly on the a7r with the Metabones iii adapter. Now of course saying that I just cursed myself.

I think the problem (with my copy of the adapter) was just poor build quality - there was enough play in the lens mount that moving the camera seemed to cause a short or lost connection, which would manifest itself with the camera locking up.
