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.... notworthy.gif

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. biggrin.gif 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?

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.

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 biggrin.gif

yes indeed. im using glidecam hd2000 with this camera.

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  thumbup.gif  , even AF sometimes hit & miss. Now can change the aperture from my A7s.  rclxms.gif

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.
