I have the A7RII and the 5D3. As mentioned, the ergonomics are different, the battery is smaller, the Sony is less "solid", etc. These are all true. The addition of IBIS is incredibly useful. The ability to shoot small rangefinder lenses on the Sony is awesome, plus I routinely shoot my Canon glass on the Sony as well (the one exception is the TS-E 17, which has barrel distortion on the Sony). For me, the real game changer is the dynamic range and clean shadows. With the A7RII, there is two stops of headroom above the ceiling identified by the metering system, so you can "overexpose" with little concern about clipping, and the SNR is comparatively amazing. It's literally night and day. It's so substantial that I don't even shoot my 5D3 or 7D2 anymore. If it matters, I shoot street, travel, wildlife, and landscape....Show more →
Just curious what adapter you are using with the 17 TS-E? Could that be a problem?
I ask that as the EF to M4/3 Kipon adapter as it was sold had horrid distortion but the issue was fixed via a firmware update so it may be your adapter.
I have not used my 17 TS-E on an A7Rii but on both my (current) A7s and (sold) A7, the 17 is my favourite lens and I don't see any distortion. I know some people have sensor reflection issues with the TS-E's but to my mind, I have not had that as a problem either (17 and sold 24 ii).
The TS-Es are better on the A7 series cameras than any Canon camera to me or at least no worse while being MUCH easier to use.
