DON’T buy the SONY a7rii until you watch this canon adapter review!!
Sony 90mm FE review at ThePhoBlographer.
Ted: “I wanted to also send you my review of the a7rii (including 4K footage) and ask if you might consider posting it as well. Here’s the review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX_rM3w8rTw”
Matt: “a7s + FE 16-35 + Ronin-M + Deluts by James Miller. I used a custom Picture Profile rather than S-log2 so I can have an easier time focusing. https://vimeo.com/136473156”
Emin: “Today I shoot video on Sony A7RII & 35mm Sony f1.4 & Sony 28mm f2) and then take a screen shoot from it https://www.facebook.com/emin.kuliyev.54/posts/10208236724700889?pnref=story”
Anonymous: “there is a test between the cheaper Fotodiox adapter and $400 Metabones IV adapter for the Sony A7RII with AF tests and it seems like the Fotodiox is just as good as the Metabones and also has a quick release tripod mount. Thought it was good info that people can still get full AF and a solid adapter with the cheaper adapter on the A7RII.

Thomas: “I created a short video on time lapse with the Sony RX100 IV that may make good content to your viewers…. It would be an honor to have something I made on your site!! Link is here https://youtu.be/PE6LVLw67oQ”
Lior: “Took the RX100 IV for a holiday in Austria – around Salzburg. It turned out to be a great vacation tool for video and stills. So small but so advanced. The video was shot originally in 4K and exported to 1080p. Great scenery in the Austrian alps, enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo5ojPn24gY”
Louis: “Big fan of the site since I discovered it while looking for the great RX100 (Mark I is still holding up excellently after 4 years) and I’m now a daily visitor of your site awaiting for news on the next A6100 or A7000 😉 I wanted to share these videos taken with my Sony cameras:
– Underwater video in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, with the RX100 using the Ikelite Housing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M4CI7qCVAo
– A really cool Timelapse of a passion fruit plant growing using the Timelapse App on the A6000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvdODsICkAY“

this guy is really annoying!
Would have been better to see the speed of the Canon lens vs the Sigma lens …
omg, native FE is faster than all this adapted nonsense??? NOOOOO WAAAAY?!?!?!?!?
Oh, and on that note… THIS is the type of your typical “EXPERT TESTER” moron that will go apeshiet crazy on all of the forums and will argue to death their stupid “findings”, absurd tests, and will spread misguided “advice” like the plague.
Pretty much like that “Angry photographer” that roams the forums and commentaries spewing his anti-Sony/mirrorless junk. He still does it, even after his embarrassing Jason Lanier clash. Well well, one shouldn’t expect the dinosaurs of photography to give up without a fight…
I have to disagree. Slightly. I’m not a huge fan of Ken Wheeler, but I have to admit, he seems to know what he’s talking about. His recommenations are sometimes contradicting, but he has quite useful knowledge in Nikon gear and photography in general.
He invested to much of his time in making fun of Sony. I don’t care for Jason Lanier, and I think Ken made some good points in his video about him. But his stupid Fony Fan Booiiii character is way over the top.
I think the fan boy character is just hilarious but I get your sentiment.
I respect Ken as well, I have no love of Lanier or his massive ego.
Ken loves the Fuji mirrorless cameras.
This guy serious?
You know what…I’m going to go against my own inner instinct. I’ll resist the urge to utterly humilate this guy because after all- it’s the nice thing to do…and since I’m a nice guy.
I can’t…must resist….don’t….resist the dark side thkpic…don’t do it…
I need to just walk away right now…………………..
…..
Sorry, I can’t listen to this guy.
As if his presentation style wasn’t annoying enough, that rocking backwards and forwards during the wrap-up at the end with the constant loss of focus on the video was very distracting.
Wait… you got to the end?!
I may have skipped to the end…
So Eric the biggest troll on this site made it here in a video. As if his multiple names in the comments, then being anton Berlin and abusing an artisan wasn’t enough, he’s trying to cause more trouble.
I actually live in a village in the developing world and this man is a pr1ck.
+1 I could not believe hearing what he said, unbelievable arrogance, I am appalled.
The test scenario is kinda stupid, directly followed by the guy himself.
And the ultimate disqualification is his recommendation – if someone has a Canon lens assortment of 10k+ he suggest to buy a cheap a6000, but if someone likes IBIS he recommends the A7II.
Some shall recommend him a visit at a allergist – he seems to be allergic to photographic knowledge….
Yeah his testing was all over the place. First he starts with the Canon 24-70mm and then decides to instead chose a Sigma 24-70mm and forgets about the Canon 24-70mm altogether and then tests only with the Sigma. I was looking forward to seeing the Canon 24-70mm with metabones against the Sony 28-70mm but no luck even though he had both lenses with him.
Mmm that RX100 IV video has some amazing shots in it. Worth a watch.
Yep.
In fact all RX100IV links are worth a watch.
Okay, this is just a terrible video.
He really should lock focus….
Oh yes the A6000 IQ is so good why spend more on an A7RII 43mpx back-illuinated? Stupid review.
This is a better video for af test…

Much better. Thanks for sharing this!
I wonder how much better it would be with more light, notice the high ISOs he is using.
Alex shot that video with the old Metabones firmware. The new firmware (with official OSPDAF support) is quite improved. I remember I gave up trying to AF the 70-200 with the old one, but with the new one the AF is usable (but not as “instant” as the 5dsr though, especially indoors).
Not sure about Phloblographer’s review of the 90/2.8. Certainly my copy is insanely sharp (sharper than the 55/1.8 and the Sigma 70/2.8). F22 isn’t amazing but f11 is still very solid (not quite f8 sharp, but that’s a given as diffraction will have set in). Likewise f16 is as sharp as you’re going to get at that aperture.
Agree with that. TBH I think the Phoblographer are pretty useless – especially that Gampat guy. He kept referring to the Sony E 18-105 G as a Zeiss all the way through the review .
He says the sharpness “starts to fall apart” at f/11. Hardly. In fact I was very surprised just how sharp it is all the way to f/16.
He claims it isn’t “bleeding sharp”, which is good for portraiture, but this thing is pretty much the sharpest lens ever tested on DXO. I’d say it actually is a bit too sharp if you are interested only in portraiture.
Definitely agree that it’s probably too sharp for female portraits (or at least is going to make a lot of work for you in post). It’s fine for men/children in my limited experience (I’m mostly using it for macro)
I have the Metabones speed booster with an FS100 and the Fotodiox EF auto with the A7s. The Metabones costs 5 times more but works well while the Fotodiox do not always work. Even with Canon lenses, sometimes i have to take it in and out 3 times to work… it’s ok for hobby but not for professionals…
Stopped watching after his silly “could feed a third world village for a year” joke at 0:20.
What an idiot
That guy from Hunts Report is an idiot, he doesn’t know anything about Sony system cameras.
The Hunts Report is aptly named since he used an AF camcorder that was constantly hunting – really annoying to watch, avoid this video. The Metabones vs Fotodiox video in the text is much better and more informative.
So, will somebody please explain to me why any of this should have a bearing on buying the A7Rii? I am perplexed…
Don’t watch a stupid video that’s holding you off purchasing the A7r2.
This guy needs to be throat punched.
I get the impression he’s the kind of guy who’d do that to himself for fun.
Nah, he’s too overly impressed with himself and self absorbed to consider he’s coming across like a douche nozzle.
UGH @ that clickbait video title…
