Re: Anyone try a NON-Metabones EOS/Nex AF/IS adapter ?
Well I got my King adapter today and it damaged my 6 month old Canon 24-70 2.8 II & 16-35 2.8 II and the 70-300 4-5.6 L IS lenses as when I went to turn the Canon lens on the King adapter it was easy then got a bit tight then I stopped on all, after I had the issue with the 24-70 2.8 II I put it on the Canon 6 D and it seamed ok, but I did not try to auto focus with it yet then I tried the 2 other Canon lenses and same issue after I looked at the Canon lenses at the gold contacts they were damaged and then on the 6D would not auto focus and would lock up the 6D!
The adapter looks fine just like the Metabones but what I am thinking is either the gold pins are a bit to close to the Canon contacts or the pins are too still and don\'t move back to make a easy slide on and off contact. I have pictures showing the damage and I have been using these Canon lenses with the Metabones adapter for 3 weeks now and no issues and now this King adapter caused this damage! So unless the seller test this before STAY AWAY as you might go thru what I will to send to Canon and have them replace the contacts on 3 lenses and I hope the seller will pay for it. Keep you update.
So I sent a email thru ebay to the seller and told them what happened and can\'t send pictures yet to show them but this adapter is junk! I was able to try the Canon 100 2.8 II Macro and it\'s was fine and some how the other lenses should be the same as they are Canon and the distance must be really close in tolerances for the Canon body\'s and the Metabones adapter works great!
