May as well start a new thread with images from this new toy.

These were taken with the Canon 100-400 Mark II attached to body with Metabones T Smart adapter.

Getting used the to the different menus, buttons, and levers to change things is a bit of a steep learning curve coming from Canon bodies. Had several incorrect settings and not set for RAW, so glad these came out. Hope to get some decent action shots once I have become more accustomed to all these new settings and options.

By the way, this heron had spotted a dead carp (koi) that was frozen in the ice, but he could not figure out how to get it.

Damn Tony, those are SHARP!

I look forward to seeing more of your shots with this combination.

What's the holdup? Must be some that have tested their copies already.

This combo would AF, but stutters in and out. Don't remember if I switched to MF for this shot.

Handheld at 1/250 sec.

35mm equivalent focal-length of 1120mm.

TC does not report with this combo.

Hi everyone,
New here, but not new to the E-M1/Metabones setup.
At the moment I have been doing some testing with the Canon 100-400 II, the Sigma 150-600 S, and the trusty old Canon 400/5.6. Tests can be seen here:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/42162009@N04/albums/72157659863679710

I would like to know is what the focus speed is like with the 100-400 II on the Mark II. On the Mark I, if it is more or less in the ball park, it focus quite quickly, but if it has to go searching, it is PAINFULLY slow, like 8 seconds from infinity to 3 meters and back (limiter on), and with the 1.4x Extender III attached, it takes 11-12 seconds! This is with firmware v2.6 loaded. With v2.1, which for me has been the most stable and quickest for S-AF (C-AF is useless anyway on the Mark I/Metabones), the first time I turn on the camera after loading the firmware but BEFORE lens calibration, it only takes 1.6 seconds to go the whole range. Camera off and back on, it is up to 6 seconds. With v2.5 and v2.6 it is slow from the get-go.

As for the focus with the TC, it does need light, but actually works quite well. I don't find it jumping around too much. And we can use all 37 central AF points too! (Eat your heart out,Canonites ;-) ) Even the 2x works well (also with 37 points) IF there is some decent light.

I do notice the lens/TC picks up a little CA (white shells above) but it is not bad, and the 100-400 is far better than the 400/5.6 in that respect. That said, I find the 400 takes the TCs somewhat better than the zoom in terms of sharpness. The exif data shows the focal length, but not the TC specifically.
All in all I like the 100-400 II best of the three, but the slow searching is a real problem. So how does it do on the Mark II? Just point the lens at the sky or a featureless surface and see how long it takes to go back and forth.
Thanks

Dan

Love the 3rd shot. Got my copy just yesterday but was busy all day and night so I didn't get to play with it at all. I am doing a shoot of the cedar waxwings this morning ... so we'll see. Hopefully we will see quite a few of this bird.

Disappointing morning ... not a single cedar waxwing was in sight, so I have nothing to show for. Maybe next weekend.

Too cold here with rain, snow, and wind for doing much shooting.

Here's my first try.

Camera is a day old, temperature was -7f. Eagles were active.

Cropped to 1900px then uploaded to Flickr, so that version is 1::1.

Took the Em 11 and the 40-150 to a hockey game. Shot a few moments side by side with the D5 and 70-200. Af was fine, only issue is the buffer fills very fast. I changed the H s to 20 frames instead of 60. At 60 you can really stop the action but fills the buffer way too fast. Love the shutter sound and found the Mechanical Low to work very well for this type of shooting. SO why use it when I have the D5? I wanted to see the long end, so basically 300 at 2.8 in a small package.

























last 3 are every other frame.
