The new Deo Tech Mark 2 Contax G to NEX adapter is shipping on eBay at [shoplink 23287 ebay]MXcamera (Click here)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 23285 ebay]MXcameraEU (Click here)[/shoplink]. As you know you can use it to get full AF support and it works fine on your A7-A7r too.
And I got the following note from MXcamera about the two new adapters for the Sony A7-A7r (and all other mirrorless cameras):
In our production plan, we will release the brand new 3nd gen. of DEO (Canon EF to NEX) Full frame adapter in Dec., it will also carry “Bluetooth” inside which will be used for framework update.
To sum up all the upper information, since December DEO will still have two adapter models:
1. DEO (Contax G to NEX) Full frame supported adapter (Mark 2), Named Eagle;
2. DEO (Canon EF to NEX) Full frame supported adapter (Mark 3), Named Falcon;The highlight features of Falcon (EF > NEX)
1. “Bluetooth” inside for framework update in the future.
2. “Full frame support”, Sony A7 and A7r for sure.–

How well does the Biogon Design work on A7, will they show smear or color fringe corners?
I have the biogon 21/2.8 on the A7 via the DEO Eagle adapter, it works well if you’re not a pixel peeper. Borders are on par with the Canon 17-40L on a 5D MK 2, so not stellar but well usable.
here an example at f/8:

If you are interested I’m selling both the Biogon 21 and the DEO adapter, as I’m leaning towards the DIstagon 18/4 ZM as I like 18mm better for my uses.
How’s MKII’s AF speed？ Speed on the original was about 3s, might as well use MF then.
i’m really curious to see the 35mm and 45mm AF performance on the A7, can’t decide on this or the fotodiox pro adapter…
Fantastic news for anyone who owns a Nikon!
lol. I really wish I had some sort of engineering background. DEO/MXcamera and MetaBones have no plans to make Nikon “smart” adapters leaving the space open for someone to come in and make a killing (even though DEO has shown the ability to build something with a screw drive in the Contax G adapters). Sigh.
I heard that these can burn out your camera, is there any truth to that?
How does it compare with Metabones in term of AF speed, IS control? Beside framework upgrade, what other usage for the Bluetooh?
Was there any mention of an updated Contax G adapter in the works? I’ve seen speculation posted about this, but nothing substantial.
Has the price of the contax g lenses gone up recently?
I adapted my 5 contax G zeiss lenses on to A7r, using the techart G-nex adapter. G35, G45 & G90 had great results that i think will beat most equivalent leica lenses. G21 and G28 is unusable, i think.
all legacy lens test samples can be found here http://www.flickr.com/photos/51092680@N04/sets/72157638081323126/
CV 35 1.2 also performed well on A7r, but CV 15 4.5 failed.
How fast do they focus? Does the G28 focus as well (fast/accurate) as the G45 & G90? I have an A7 on order and it seems to do better with the corners of the G28 but I’m on the fence about the AF adapter. Looking for more user reviews.
the price of contax G went up a lot in recent 2 years, esp this month 20% in China
Is it possible to use the manual focus with adapter?
It’s available now

A bit off topic but I’d like to share my bad experience and warn you not to buy from the UK based ebay shop Digiunited.
I’ve bought the adapter from them and lost the 230pounds I paid for it since I didn’t receive it at all. They kept buying time until I couldn’t get the money back from ebay (45 days) and couldn’t even let negative feedback (60 days). They wouldn’t reply to the emails after achieving their goal of fooling the customer around until they get to the 60 days limit.
