Back from 2 weeks in the Olympic Nat'l Park area, and find that I'm 33 pages behind! Time to sit back and enjoy the backlog & distribute some likes. It's going to take a while…in the mean time this one from the Staircase area of the park can serve as a place marker.

Also, it was amazing how quiet it was in the canyon. It's rare that one is able to hear nothing else, but since I was the only one there for the early morning, it was silent. No birds, wind, bugs, people, nothing. Just the sound of the blood in my eardrums! It was awesome.
Very cool, you're using the Metabones with this? Wondering how it performs AF-wise...might be smart for me to pick this up instead of going the Sony route.
Yes. It works pretty well. It's not as fast as native, but it's reasonably quick, especially in good light, provided you aren't changing focus distance drastically. (going from very close to far takes longer, but it's still fine). It can even track decently in CAF, though I wouldn't use it for serious sport work. It slows down quite a lot in dim light, however (though I don't tend to use f/4 zooms in dim light). For what I shoot, it made way more sense than the Sony route. Had the adapter (use it with my EF 100/2) and so it was $600 new vs. $1500 new. Buying used still would be a huge savings (around $425 vs. $950). Optically stellar.
