I can confirm that eye tracking, smile detection, and lock-on AF are not available.
Wide AF, center AF, and flexible spot are available. I\'ve had the best luck with wide AF, although I\'m not sure how to tell what it\'s going to lock onto or how to control it. Flexible spot sometimes works. (I\'ve tried with a Metabones IV, latest firmware, and a 100-400 II and 24-70 II.)
I\'m curious if this is a deal breaker for some people. Other than landscapes or stationary subjects it looks like you lose a decent amount of the AF capabilities of A7R. What a bummer...
I assume you tried both of the Metabones modes? I think there is a green mode and another. I don\'t own it yet.

Most of my Canon lenses are on the list of those not working well. Add to that that EOSHD says AF with Sony lenses is improved over the A7R but still not great and I\'m seriously wondering if I upgrade anytime soon, if at all. If AF isn\'t up to the speed of a top DSLR or my Olympus MFT, I\'ll probably wait for the next version.
Sony only claimed a \"40% improvement\" so I wonder where people got the idea with would be a DSLR focus killer?

At 3200 dollars I would imagine some thought there would be a lot of meat put into he camera to justify the cost.
Canon lenses will never AF perfectly well on an adapted Sony body. Usually adapted lenses are MF only.
IMO, what is happening is actually a little miracle with some Canon lenses in AF mode. For, example I just tested it with my 70-200 f/4L IS and was impressed. AF was fast in good light and OK in low light. I consider this a bonus.
Some lenses will do better than others but if your perception was to get the A7RII and autofocus with all your Canon lenses for critical work, you will be very disappointed.
I watched the video showing fast focus in in dim light inside a few times. I got the impression it would be pretty good. The 24-70L II does good and also inside in dimmer light for me. Such is life. If this was anyone\'s only worry they would be lucky in the world. :^)
