The autofocus speed is unfit for professional use for sure and it would disappoint most enthusiasts.&#149; Only Canon-branded lenses introduced in or after 2006 are officially supported. Autofocus may be disabled for older Canon lenses and most third-party lenses, including most Sigma, Tamron and Tokina lenses and all Contax N lenses modified by Conurus.&#149; On NEX camera bodies in camcorder form factor (e.g. FS series), autofocus may be available only in photo mode but not in movie capture mode.&#149; Continuous AF is not supported.&#149; DMF mode (direct manual focus) is not supported.&#149; For non-camcorder camera bodies (e.g. NEX-7), during movie capture, if the subject moves to a different distance, half-press the shutter release button to re-activate autofocus and lock onto the subject again. Since autofocus speed is slow, there may be visible disruption in the resulting footage.&#149; The first two autofocus attempts are used to calibrate the lens and as a result may not lock successfully on the target. Half-press the shutter release button again and autofocus will lock successfully.&#149; Autofocus may have difficultly locking onto subjects which are very close to the nearest focusing distance of the lens.&#149; Autofocus accuracy depends heavily on the working condition of the lens. Lenses with hidden problems which may not be apparent on Canon DSLRs will lead to inaccurate and unreliable autofocus on Sony NEX. Typical problems of this kind that they have seen include an unsmooth/erratic autofocus mechanism (e.g. getting stuck intermittently at a certain focusing distance), a faulty/worn-out distance encoder or other faulty/worn-out internal sensors. Why Metabones   Since its inception, Metabones has been designing and manufacturing lens adapters recognized among professionals and enthusiasts as leaders in design and workmanship. Contrary to the popular trend of other factories using an aluminum ring painted black on the camera-body-side, they instead take no short-cut but use precision-machined brass with chromium plating on both the camera-body and the lens sides of their adapters, in order to ensure smooth mounting, great appearance and durability. The lens side of the adapter features a strong leaf-spring structure, strengthening the adapter-lens connection and ensuring tightness of the lens in order to reduce wear and prevent focus errors and optical alignment issues from appearing. Metabones uses matte-black treatment to keep internal reflection to a minimum in order to maintain the maximum optical quality possible with the lens.All Metabones Adapters follow this tradition of uncompromising precision, robust build quality and outstanding finish. Metabones new Smart AdapterTM series of products add industry-leading electronic interfacing technology from Canada, with true electronic control of the lens' aperture directly from the camera body.&#149; Both camera-side and lens-side of the adapter are made of brass, precision-machined and plated with chromium.&#149; Satin surface finish - just like your OEM lens and camera mounts.&#149; Precise fit and solid connection - lens has no play, gap or wiggling when m

Since I don't yet have any Sony lenses to compare with my Canon lenses on my Sony a7R II with the Metabones IV adapter, I can only comment on how the Canon lenses work on this configuration. I am able to use all of my Canon lenses on this Sony, and autofocus works, but it's probably a bit slower than native, and a few funtions are not enabled. In general, I can use the Canon lenses for most purposes such as bird and landscape photography, and general shooting, as well as basic video. Images are quite good. This combination is allowing me to assess Sony's Mirrorless camera technology and image quality. So far, it's quite good. 

Sony a7R II with Canon lenses and Metabones IV

Zero issues so far

I was able to get my purchase in a timely and efficient manner. This works perfectly on my sony camera and have no issues with it. Thanks!

Smart adapter

Works great on my new Sony FS5. At first it was losing communication with the camera, but a quick update to the firmware and it works great. 

It's ok, far from good! If you have a Sony camera, then stick with Sony lenses! 

Returned, not happy with it!

The Metabones is a solid mount and made well.  Unfortunately the connector does not allow my lenses to AF.  Maybe my Canon lenses are too old?  It's unfortunate considering the price of the Metabones

The Metabones is a solid mount and made well

Good fit on the camera and the AF is what I am most pleased about.

good product

sturdy

It's a solid built adapter and functions as expected. With PDAF bodies like a7II, AF is decent. It's more expensive than Sigma MC-11 but it does not have MC-11's image stabilization problem.

Good adapter with high price

looks and works near perfectly, but test/study the specific lenses you wish to use it with to ensure all functions (USM. autofocus) work as expected.

near perfect

I use this with every Canon lens that I have with my A7r. I do mostly landscape, which is good because it is quite slow to autofocus (which I really don't even need!), however IT DOES WORK NICELY. I would recommend this product.

IT DOES WHAT IT SAYS... SLOWLY...

I tired a few different adapters before spending a lot more for this one, But it was worth the money. since this is the only one that worked with all my lens.

Amazing- It works with all my lens

using it on the a7rii and it works. very impressed with how quick the AF.
