I tried a metabones EF to E mount on a Nex 5 today. God awful results. It would not lock onto focus 90% of the time using my 24-105mm L. Has this been others experiences? I'm sending it back go B&H.
Thanks

Season of Photographic Eye - Picture 16 Week 52, Saturday - Light and Shadows
"This is the last post regarding this season and I will finally end the whole project next week December 31st. Even with the risk of being repetitive, it is necessary for one more time to define the problem of ‘photographic eye’, so that I can attempt to create closure for this season. As I have already stated earlier, camera is a device that can be used to take pictures by itself and, if wanted, without intervention of the photographer at all.

It’s a big number for me and while I have enjoyed this project a lot, it takes quite a bit of endurance to keep on photographing week after week, to write blog entries and to worry about the next picture. And to be honest there has been a bit of combat fatigue [...]"
