Was it able to AF or did you manually focus. What firmware version? Just received my MC-11 and first image with it focused well in good light, in poor light had to Manually focus
First image with Camera A7rIII and MC -11- Canon 24-105
Firmware, I have no idea. I bought the adapter on Jan 9th, and I believe I updated the firmware shortly after that. Whatever number that is.
I also have the Metabones gen 5 that I use on my a6300. With that one I can use my crop lenses.
So firmware for the a6300, a7III, the MC-11, and the MB V5, plus the upgrade I had to do for the Sigma dock, too many number to keep straight.
Af was fine with this lens, the Sigma 150-600C, also when using the Canon 24-105, I tried the 70-200f4 non is, that worked,
the Canon 100-400 version 1 with and without a 1.4 tc, Canon 50 f1.8, Canon 50 f2.8 macro, canon 40mm pancake, all worked ok.
The only lens that had trouble was the Canon 28-300. That one did a lot of hunting, but that was indoors and fairly low light.
Now, did I go through some kind of rigorous testing, no. I put the lens on, moved the camera around to different parts of the room, and
half pressed the shutter to see if it would work. All the lenses did pretty well.
The 24-105 was one of the best ones I tried, so I'm surprised that you're having issues with it.
How poor of light are you trying to use it in?
When I was trying things out, turned off the lights, and just used the light from my monitor, yeah, I had issues hitting focus.
But I took a photo of the dog, 1/60, f4 iso12800, at 105mm on a very cloudy day, indoors, it snapped to focus.
