I managed to get my test done today, conducted with:
A7R II (purchased Nov 2015)
Metabones IV T (purchased June 2016)
Canon TS-E 24mm II
Panorama of 2 images, fully 12mm shifted left to fully 12mm shifted right.
Set to f/9, no change of focus for either image, shots are out of camera JPEGs merged manually with Photoshop
I'd say it came out sharp edge to edge. The center is sharper, but the fully shifted far edges look very good to me.
I've got the 100% crops plus the full sized image here
100% Crops of Far Left, Middle and Far Right of panorama image:
Here is an extreme left corner shift +12. zoomed in 100% and screen captured on a 27in imac monitor.
The Metabones 4 picture was slightly over exposed and un-flocked, so I pulled Exposure down -77, Highlights down -100 and whites down -99. The metabones 3 adapter is flocked so I just pulled down highlights down -77.
CA removal set on for both and sharpness set to 43 for both.
The differences can be easily seen. What is even more important than these extreme edges is the shimmed adapter is vastly better from +6mm or more shifts (see next post).
extreme left shift +12 Metabones 4 (left) v Metabones 3 shimmed (right)
He is the full area from a +12mm shift from the last image. For the shimmed metabones 3 and 17mm TSE is the area that does not look useable at 100% cropped out. This to me is a vast improvement over only getting good +6mm shifts before.
Same again for the right edge. Focus not changed from previous left extreme edge shift (in previous post).
Here is an extreme right corner shift +12. zoomed in 100% and screen captured on a 27in imac monitor.
The Metabones 4 picture was slightly over exposed and un-flocked, so I pulled Exposure down -77, Highlights down -100 and whites down -99. The metabones 3 adapter is flocked so I just pulled down highlights down -77.
