Hey admin, what’s up with the A6100 rumors?? It’s about time for an update…
Yeah, Admin. Why don’t you make up some rumours because “It’s about time for an update”!!!
Still holding off until I know if the firmware can be user updated. Metabones Mk IV has had numerous firmware updates providing new features, better compatibility with new bodies and more lens support with each update. If this adapter cannot be user updated, it’s stone cold.
250 gr ?
Once you add 625gr for the A7rII and those 250gr you get 875 gr which weight as much as the smaller DSLR full frame (Canon 6D weight only 680gr for instance). So the small form/weight advantage is lost.
But it may help DSLRs users to make the switch, since they can keep their lenses. And of course you get the huge advantage of EVF.
That switch makes more sense for Canon users however, since they get a better sensor. But Nikon users are already using a Sony sensor. So they have less incentive to switch.
It is probably a typo!
IBIS for primes.
Sorry, I made a typo : the Canon 6D weight 860gr.
Just ordered one, I will do a full review of it using a A7 II with three Tamron lenses for Nikon F (15-30, 24-70 and 150-600). Cheers, Tom
Sweet! I’m looking forward to it, especially for the 15-30!
I have to say the inventor has really done a lot of hard works for this adaptor and he deserves all our Nikon-Sony users a applause.

In the future, only mirror less may survive. It’ll be a world of adapters and nothing more.
No the mirrorless bodies will be ephemeral, that manual Zeiss and Voigtlander glass will last a lifetime, as will all that manual Nikon F and old FD Canon glass.
Will be waiting on someone to review. I watched Matt Grangers review of the Alpha version. It was not usable. Then again it was an Alpha version so hopefully they worked out the kinks.
Will it support Af-D lenses?
Not in autofocus mode (no motor in the body nor in the adapter).
Thats why I love my LAEA4 adapter for the Minolta screw drive AF glass, if someone was to do it for Nikkor AF-D glass it wouldn’t be cheap with the extra mirror and a motor drive.
I was suprised to find out there is a A mount to F mount adapter. I hear it sucks but news to me!
