I wonder how much money Metabones must have made already since they have nearly a monopoly there with their EF/E-mount electronic adapters....selling it for $300 must give them a very high profit margin.

Agree, pretty useless and too late. I guess they do it for their adapter image and their own customer base. A full electronic version would be another story ...

I would be happy if they had found a way to include exposure control. That way we could use all our EF lenses manually. Bummer.

The Zoerk is lens mounted which allows the camera to move with a TSE lens, to do shift panoramas without parallax errors. Thus the lens is fixed. A metabones tripod mount does not allow this - the lens must move with shift panoramas, which may result in parallax errors particularly of closer subject material.
How does the lens' tilt feature work with the lens-mounted adapter? Any issues there?
I now to shoot evening scenes exclusively with A7R as I don't need to clean sky after even just moderate shadow lifting as I'd need to do with Canon files. A7R complements my 5D3 very well.

That's the same paper I use. We'll see, new adapter will be here in 3 days. At least I can compare them.
I also got the vignetting on Metabones III after applying the paper but I probably didn't do correctly. I just bought a can of Krylon Camouflage non-reflective black and sprayed inside that seems work for me. I didn't see obvious glare reflection with 17mm TS-E on A7R.

So I just got sick of waiting for the 16-35 and wasn't going to be able to afford it at the release prices so picked up a 17-40 + metabones mk3 both second hand. I've had a bit of a scan through here and have read about the adapter issues but wondered if someone could give me a quick summary of what I should look for to see these problems present themselves?
I'm left a little underwhelmed after my first trip out with this lens. I've never used this lens on a Canon or used any Canon lenses or cameras in the past so am not sure what to expect. But essentially I'm seeing poor corner performance at wider FL's, Heaps of purple fringing (and general poor performance around edges) in high contrast areas.
From all reports this is a pretty good lens? Are my expectations too high? Or is this an adapter issue? Or maybe a bad lens copy? ta
Hopefully this will bring some play into Metabones pricing..
I am very looking forward seeing reviews of this adapter!
Thanks for the link and the info! Glad to see that finally some competition comes along. Curious to read reviews and experiences made with this new adapter.

Hello all. I love this forum and while I follow it I never had the chance to chime in.
I am an owner of A7s and have also realised the need for numerous adapters. I am also going the "flocking" route.
Unfortunately my first post is a warning to the people who are thinking of buying flocking material from the website http://www.fpi-protostar.com
I placed an order after following advice on this forum but still, after 2 months, I have not received the order. What is worse is that during this time I have sent numerous emails to [email protected] enquiring about the status of my order, to which I received no reply at all. Perhaps the owners thought I should have purchased hundred of dollars of merchandise in order to ship to Norway. Instead I only ordered the smallest piece of flocking paper.
In any case, people like them are not worth having any clients. I will have to ask a refund through my bank, as thy do not answer my emails.
Otherwise A7s is a fantastic camera and I have a Commlite adapter, which is relatively cheap but with very good build quality. I also have the following generic adapter, which i DO NOT recommend as it has a very bad wobbly connection from the lens side. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008H2HXUS/ref=pe_385721_37038051_TE_3p_dp_1

I have these two adapters and the only play in the generic MD one from amazon is minor rotational, which may be a nuisance but does not reflect in the images.

For those using A7/A7R with Canon lenses, I've just release a tool to rename lenses in your xmp files with right Canon lenses, avoiding mixing stuff in LightRoom (for example).

Does anyone have any of the flocking available? I'd be glad to send a postage paid envelope to you to make shipping as easy as possible and pay for the material itself. I just don't to buy a big piece and throw 90% of it away. Send me a PM if you do.

I've been shooting with mirror-less Micro Four Thirds Cameras and adapted legacy glass for years. I recently purchased an a7II so I can use the same lenses on both systems.
I've experienced contrast and underexposure issues when using adapters with both. I tried painting the insides of couple of my MFT adapters flat black and installing square baffles to limit the extent of the image circle. When it worked, it worked well. In one controlled test, these mods were able to reduce a -2EV exposure error by 1.5 EV. The problem is that it helped with some lenses, but not others. In addition, the same lens (on an adapter without mods) might present a problem with one camera body, but not another. I believe the issue is really a very complex interaction between the specific lens and camera body in use.
