I have an a7ii and use it with the metabones and an ef lens.
It may as well be a manual focus lens.
It has pdaf.
How is this rii and its pdaf so different to the degree that performance can be close to a native canon body?
The spec of 392 PDAF sensors suggests it is a very different system. I expect it will work better than the A7 II, but we only have a couple reports that it works well with the metabones and Canon lenses. These might be a bit exaggerated. My guess and it is just a guess is that it will work ok, but clearly not as well as a Canon camera. Among other things I can\'t see how it would have AF micro adjust.
Steve:
There is no need for micro adjust since the AF is on sensor. (Similar to how live view AF on a canon body does not need micro adjust.)

Hi Chris,
That certainly is true for on sensor contrast detect AF, but it remains to be seen if it is true for on sensor phase detect AF like the A7r II will be using. I think the on sensor phase detect may well in the end benefit from micro-adjust, but we will see.
