And is how the two modes do work on Sony cameras:

Admin do you know when to expect 7 new FE lenses announcement? We are all waiting for that! Nothing else is interesting right now.
Amen to that. I’m really hoping for an 85 1.4. Hard to believe this hasn’t been announced. Perhaps there won’t be an announcement at this show.
no thanks you there are already enough Zeiss 85mm, Sony have to fill the gaps in lens catalog first, with more than 1 FE lens by category.
Ultra-Wide Zoom Lenses
Standard Zoom Lenses
Telephoto Zoom Lenses
Wide-Angle Lenses
Standard & Medium Telephoto Lenses
Telephoto Lenses
Super Telephoto Lenses
Macro Lenses
I would like also a FE-NEX and FA-NEX converter (without losing AF and stabilisation) to get FF focal range on my APS-C camera…. that ‘s an useful R&D project
So you don’t want them to make more duplicate FL’s, but you want them to make MANY more duplicate FL’s… You are smart, have a cookie and a lay down.
If the announcement hasn’t been made at this point, there won’t be one at this show. The majors almost never announce at a show anyways, they usually do it a few days to a couple of weeks before.
FE is so good you have to use Canon glass.
I guess canon trolls have a butthurt much? Just can’t avoid trolling on Sony forum. And yes, if you missed last 5 years, a quick update for you: the world has changed. Most of FE glass is equal or better than L glass from Canon. Some FE glass is unmatched and stands to a Zeiss Otus, like FE55 or FE90 G Macro or Loxia line or Batis line. Anyway, live and learn troll. Now go back to Canon cave you crolled out from and tell your stincky brethren that it’s time to confess sinners and convert to the dark side – we have not only cookies, but top notch glass and (surprise) modern bodies that kick some butt compared to outdated bulky troll stuff they call cameras.
Another one lives in a world of fantasy where three good lens make a system. Meanwhile in the real world: people keep using Canon and A-mount glass for FE.
Meanwhile in real world canon users keep putting Sony bodies on their L glass 🙂 And it’s becoming a new trend. If they weren’t invested heavily in canon glass most would have switched. However, there are numerous folks who still are switching. This is what happening in real life. Meanwhile. LOL
P.S. and yes it looks like you really do have butthurt. Just can’t stand when ground is taken out of you canon fanboy, can you? Keep trolling.
More fantasy world news from our Sony FE prophet. Tell me more about sinners and the dark side now, let’s concentrate on that.
Right now u only show u are a Sony Fanboy trolling at home 😉
I think you need to put on some glasses next time you watch a professional sporting event. Or find yourself to one, a go sit down courtside or side line and see what’s really going on in the real world. I will use my A7s, but not on the track & field circuit all by themselves. That would be suicide. They don’t get me my needed fps. won’t bother going into detail.
You talk like a Sony rep? Trying to sell a new version of ur umpteenth FE lenses 😉
Troll? No, he’s pointing out a serious deficiency with the Sony E-mount system.
There are no solutions for lenses longer than 240mm without going to adapted glass. Meanwhile EF-mount has a wide variety of options (both first and third-part) in this region.
at least we dont have FE tilt shift lens =[
some fast tele are missing too
oh fisheye ? oops , not yet
New FE lenses announcement is nothing but interesting if not then there would be not so much EF-Nex adaptors 😉 … Moreover we will surely not get brand new lenses but an upgrade of old ones. However, APS-C E-mount high end camera release is…. what final users want 😉
we will get an umpteenth 85mm , 55mm, 24( 28)-70mm, 85 or 90mm maybe another 70-200mm but why not a FE 16-70mm ( f/2,8 or F/4) or a FE 12mm for both APS-C and FE camera
How about beyond 200 – either prime or zoom.
Maybe they count on LA-EA adapters to use their A lenses 😉
Even a 1.4x that is optically matched to the 70-200 f/4 would be helpful.
I have the Techart III Adapter which is a copy of this one. It works just fine on the a7 with newer Canon lenses in terms of speed but the accurancy is not so good. I have a constant backfocus all the time with each lens. I hope there will be a software update soon to fix this issue…
Note that this is the EXACT same adapter as the Techart EOS-NEX III which has been available from eBay vendors such as breguetcamera for over a month.
The adapter is a major leap forward, although has quite a few bugs. Unfortunately Techart/DEO are very difficult to communicate with so it’s hard to get a detailed bug report to them and even then, questionable if they understand it due to not speaking good English.
The first video, that guy saying the adaptor is not stable and need to replaced. I don’t understand why that video is here but good to know that it is not quite stable yet. I will rather wait for a while.
I found one that’s in stock:

As Andrew pointed out:
“Note that this is the EXACT same adapter as the Techart EOS-NEX III”
yep i bought one from ebay (because i got redeem code from ebay)
and then ship to hong kong lol
frank
i bought one already and it perform similar to E mount lens on A7R
on A7 it a little bit faster than A7R of course
most canon lens work
24 105
17 40 (sometimes misfocus on some body like a3000 or nex5 ,a7r work fine)
70 200 2.8 IS II
85L ii (did not have mark1 for test )
50 1.8 STM
40 2.8 STM
old dc motor lens not workon A7R
canon / YN 50 1.8
YN 35 F2
sigma lens misfocus very hard on A7R
35 1.4 art
tamron new 35 / 45 1.8 vc working but AF not even move
it will be great if new tamron prime are supported because it have VC and it cheaper than batis version (well same design)
all of them are testing under A7R with new adapter in Fn mode

I’m a little confused. What is the adavantage of this adaptor vs Metabones (besides price)/
Vastly improved AF performance on non-A7RII bodies with most EF lenses. Some of them are still flaky/buggy like the EF85/1.8 – the adapter drives the focus motor too fast, resulting in hunting.
It try to emulate a FE lens, not the LAEA adapter.
I have the Falcon with the Teacart III and the latest firmware and most of my Canon lenses have focus issues—front or back, I don’t know.
One lens that produced acceptable results was the EF-S 55-250mm v1 (on the A7). It focused all the way out to 250mm.
On the NEX-5R, none of the lenses auto-focused in FN mode.
It’s not a copy – Techart is the original manufacturer, DEO is the international reseller.
A number of the issues may turn out to be due to the fact that it seems that the adapter drives the focus motor of the lens too fast.
I haven’t yet determined if it is the body getting confused and commanding too much lens movement, or if it is the adapter itself that is interpreting the body’s commands wrong (as I’m still trying to make sense of the E-mount focus control messages…)
http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/56661956 – NOTE, I was varying the subject distance with the Techart tests so the focus target position SHOULD indeed be changing throughout the test like it is in those plots for the Techart plots.
