So this is a techart adaptor. Wonder how the a7m2 works with it.
Nice to see another EF autofocus adapter but the ‘killer’ feature with this one is that it will do phase-detect AF on other a7 series bodies. It would be great to see a video of fast AF on an a7/a7ii using the fn mode of the adapter.
Exactly. The real difference with this adapter vs the metabones atm is the ability to use AF-C and get fast AF-S speed on previous A7 models.
No one wants to see it on A7RII….
You forgot A6000/A5100
Yeah. What’s with all of the test videos showing something that’s no big deal… Why aren’t they showcasing the most groundbreaking capability of this lens? Is it because it isn’t everything that they claim it is?
Half a kilo…nice. Tripod mount is undetectable?
Look Andrea please, nice video of Panasonic GH4 video quality vs Sony A7R II (S-LOG 2 VS V-LOG):

Somebody should tell them that internal baffles should be smaller for f/1.2 lenses

how about this one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cr9xfHlwkPQ
Thanks for sharing. All we need now is for some of the big-guns to review one on our legacy phase-detect-capable e-mount cameras.
I thought the A7R II supposedly didn’t support PDAF in the ‘fn’ mode, where it clearly shows it does in the test with the 50L?
It would be interesting to see whether this adapter works with some of those the metabones has trouble with, especially long lenses. It would be nice to know if it’s a particular issue with the combination of lens, adapter and body or is it more fundamental. Perhaps on-sensor PAF isn’t a good fit for longer focal length lenses because of some aspect of the optical “geometry” involved.
what do you mean by “geometry”?
528g – more than my Camera 🙂
I think this is the shipping weight incl. transport boxes and instruction papers.
Tripod mount is good in my opinion. Looks like I can use it directly on my arca-swiss heads. I prefer arca-swiss over every other system (e.g. Manfrotto). At arca, one mount fits all sizes from tiny to huge.
And the adapter is Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggg:
30cm x 12cm x 25.5cm. Maybe a it as a built in pocket for additional lenses 🙂
The wording is funny, are they saying “Fn” mode will use on-sensor phase detect on the A7, A6000 and A7II cameras? It only says only contrast detect is available on the A7Rii. So is that implying on sensor PDAF works on other sony models?
at the end of the video, the guy holding the camera said in chinese, ” it is not working again”..
I had this few days ago already, but I returned it because it does not work with my 85L. I should get another one Sat. I can’t post link, but you can go to http://www.dchome.net and search for techart III
or search for this
A7rII + techart EF-NEX III
EF-NEX III isn’t this… That’s this things predecessor.
I think you are talking about EF-
NEX II. III is the one with the NOR and FN switch on the side like the one in the above Video
The million dollar question as far as I’m concerned, is will this trick the A7Rii into doing Eye-AF with Canon glass?
unfortunately…no
as I understand, it will in “fn” mode but with slower AF
You are right and I was wrong. The eye AF does work some what but not as good as the FE lens. I tried on 50L and 100mm f2
