Pretty sad when your own lens-line is such s--- someone can sell a $400-$700 adapter for it just so you can use someone else's...

Are you selling that **** or something? If you wanna use Canon lenses
then buy a Canon camera!


But the A7R II body is quite interesting (and the old A7 body is a
bargain right now). It's just that the lens line-up is deficient.

I do agree however that it makes only sense to get the adapter if you
already have the Canon lenses and are making the switch to Sony.

Well, If you're a landscaper or portrait photog then you don't really
have to pay US400 for an adapter:

That's a dumb non wired adapter without AF and such.

This is a wired one with AF and EXIF if I've understood the auction
correctly:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111630720311

The degree of smartness may vary as well as your "milage" but if you're
let's say into landscapes then AF speed might not be that important.

One must be careful when buying anything on the internet so that you
what need is that that's in the box...

Cool, manual focus only.

By the way, why is that 100mm lens so huge? Together with the adapter
it's multiple times the body ;-)

You buy a small body, but the lenses turn out to be huge.

The principle of relativity?

Here's my 17-40/4.0 on the EOS-M:

Got it for the 1D2 since the Sammy 14/2.8 deteriorated into
uselessness... ;-)
