You mention manually focusing, I thought Fred said he had autofocus with his adapter. Sorry to be dense, but is it manual focus or auto focus with the a7r + adapter + canon lens? Thanks!
Depending on adapter, you can get AF with Canon lenses...but it is very slow. I too have been using manual focus on the A7R with my lenses...but then I don't use the A7R to shoot action.

The metabones 3 &4 do autofocus with most of the current canon lenses. Metabones website has a compatibility list. Many, like Fred, frequently reach for the ts-e or Canon mount Zeiss/Samyang lenses which are manual focus.
Other adapters I have not explored may be manual focus only.

I have the Metabones IV EF adapter. While there is AF, it's very slow and often times inaccurate.

Just test out the metabones well in advance. Some have had issues and needed to return for better physical fit or micro alignment with sensor.

Hi, just got back from Bolivia/Chile with the a7r used for landscapes - it is a great little camera. I wanted the best DR and image quality for this trip and it really delivered. I was lucky and was able to borrow lens from a buddy so didn't have to deal with adapter, but I did get a less expensive adapter from amazon (omnilite, I think) for a just in case scenario.

hi! anyone using the a7R with longer focals (300-600mm) ?
im interested in the a7r because of the lack of aa filter and more mp's , i owned the a7r2 but i cant afford it right now , so im considering the a7r but im worried of the shutter vibration
i-ve read some reviews which note that 200mm and ss of around 1/100 can suffer from the shutter shock
but i usually shoot 1/300 and up with a canon 300mm 2.8 and a 100-400 II alone and with a 1.4x extender
any experience from anyone on this terrain?
thanks
