Anyone here have any experience in shooting with EF lens and metabones adapter? How is the AF with the latest firmware update?

I use the Sigma MC-11, everything is good as long as you don't try to AF while shooting video. Viltrox hit and miss, I probably got a lemon copy.

Seems like a lot of good reviews. Thanks for the recommendation. smile.gif

If you don't mind silver color, lazada seller Dejitaru offer the same package at RM 2049. Shashinki good for reference, but never really superb promo in my opionion, at least not for the last few years.

P/s: If you're patient enough to wait for their firecracker vouchers, you can get rm 200 shave off as well.

That's normal actually. If you go to shop at lowyat, they will throw same promo, some at mere RM2100. That was last month though so not sure today.

Didn't know that because I was at Sony center the other day and the price LOL, lets not even go there. sweat.gif

i usually shooting with a Nikon D5200. I not yet try any of the Sony alpha series mirroless, just heard about their bad AF abilities if compare to DSLR. So basically u mean even with A7r ii, the AF still cannot match with FF DSLR like Nikon D750, D810? sorry for asking the other brand camera here. Just want to know the comparison from actual user here if have any.
*
Yes.
I noticed that when I tried both camera (A7II and D750) in Nikon and Sony Center. Definitely no match for Nikon's AF in low light but I think it is good enough for general photography. Unless you plan to do serious job in low light situation like wedding dinner or so, the DSLR is better.

By the way, many people are jumping into mirrorless for the weight advantage, which definitely is not huge difference compared to DSLR (after you take into account the batteries). Plus, lens on Sony side is also more expensive.

I'm not bashing Sony here as both has its own pros and cons. At the end of the day I'm still going to buy A7II. I like the mirrorless feature where you can actually "preview" the image before snapping it, compared to DSLR. So it's pretty much what you see is what you get. With that said, I'm still contemplating on the upgrade path to FF as this requires considerable investment in FF glass. The "good" ones e.g 24-70 f4 is selling at 2.6k used. The "excellent" 24-70 2.8 well let's not even go there.

Sony for recent year is well known for their FF mirrorless performance, so i wanna give it a try. But... after reading all u guy input, the AF capability really concern me. My mostly shooting scenery, portrait (of coz, i hoping for better bokeh from FF), and planning to step in wedding shooting in near future.

Again, i need reconsider again to buy Sony FF or Nikon FF.... arg... really headache..

I was like you too considering Sony for FF mainly for its size and weight factor but after you factor in the cost of the setup, extra batteries and the lens it will all end up the same or heavier. So you really have to evaluate why you want to go Mirrorless.

What an upgrade. But...predictable. i have a feeling sony is going to kill their camera department at the pace they are going especially the price point. There is a reason why dslr is at a decline and why more and more consumer is choosing smartphone over dedicated cameras. When was the last time sony announced power camera at budget rm2k++ since a6000 that even attracted smartphone shooters? Hopefully im wrong.
*
Smartphone shooters are still not going to jump into a dedicated camera even if the price is RM 2k. The main reason is the convenience of the phone and how easy it is to share those online today (let's not forget selfie). Plus most will end up in Facebook or G+ so the quality is adequate. In fact after looking at Z1 photos it's very good. So I think cameras after this generation for flagship are going to be very nice.

Only way these appeal is people who are into photography. So its time for Sony to milk us gao gao.

I went Sony booth to test out the A7II.
I think Sony Center can do better job.

I was a little surprised by the lackluster event this year. There is little to nothing from lens and camera company except canon and fuji. Sony like they forgot about KLPF and just put up bunch of stuff from last year unsold product. No sigma, no tamron, no olympus and no panasonic. Mostly camera bags and tripods. Not many pretty models too sad.gif (There are some, but not as many as last year). What happened??? Like night and day between this year and last year.

No Nikon as well.

A7ii body only price is 4.1K such a steal. Anyone who is considering buying before this can bite the bullet now. When I got mine it was the cheapest at 4.6k this is 500 bucks cheaper which can contribute to lenses

It seems like Sony is trying to clear A7II stocks as much as possible.
Launching of A7III soon thumbsup.gif
