Dear All,

I would like to explore Canon lenses with my Sony A7S body.
Which will be the best adapter for these lenses.

Im doing video, so autofocus will be added advantage although i use manual focus 95% of time.

Need recommendations....

Metabones if you have the cash. FotoDioX Canon-NEX adapter for the poor. And Commlite has one too. If you're on manual all the time, you can invest in the FotoDioX Canon-NEX adapter with built in variable ND filter. but it's a manual adapter. Since we all shoot wide open most of the time when we shoot video anyway haha

FYI, AF is shit across all the adapters.

Thanks, gd info. Any idea on the pricing for FotoDiox adapter?

99.95USD on bh. Should be the same on amazon. Link here http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/9949...r_canon_ef.html

Thanks bro

No problem haha. I got mine for 74.95 because of the daily deals that they had. I just bought it without any second thoughts hahaah

Hi

this model can take good video shot up to pro level?

How about Sony ILCE-7S ?

That's A7s right? Im using this model and the video quality is exceptionally good compared to my 5DMK3.

Mind to share some videos through FB or google drive?

I am looking for camera which can shot nice video with pro quality and at the same time, can shot nice pictures too.

To be frank, this camera is very much recommended for video recording.
If you want to take good photographs, this body might disappoint you.

Video sample:

for both good pictures and video. I'd say A7R? that crazy high resolution is more than enough to win me over just for the crop shots alone haha. A7S is like the god of video right. the Mark II models are just icing on the cake. 5 axis stabilization is there but isnt really needed. glidecams and gimbals do the job nicely

yes indeed. im using glidecam hd2000 with this camera.

Bro, with this adapter can adjust aperture in camera?

Yes. It has the AF confirmation chip. So aperture and AF both work

i bought Commlite. performs really well. price way cheaper than metabones and not much different with the built and performance..

Me too, just ordered Commlite from Alixpress for my canon 70-200 f4 IS.. not sure when i'll get it delivered.

just to update...
received my Commlite adapter today, tested with my canon 70-200, unfortunately didn't work when mounted to sony A7s...

so, can only use manual focus with full time F4..


Unable to read data from the lens :

Yes bro, it only works well with manual focus. In fact any brand also same.
For me i use only use manual focus for video, so i have no problem with it.

i don't mind manual, in fact i use manual focus most of the time even with Nikon AF-S lens.
however i need to control aperture from the camera but sadly not able to do so using commlite.

UPDATE.... bought used Viltrox EF-NEX ii adapter and IT WORKS , even AF sometimes hit & miss. Now can change the aperture from my A7s.

Viltrox adapter is a bad choice for A7s atleast. I had this before switching to commlite.
It will blackout after switching lens. Be extra cautious.
