Lo usé con una Sony ZVE10. Funcionó unos minutos y luego la cámara no teconocía el objetivo Canon para tomas de video. Una semana después tampoco funcionó el enfoque automático para fotografía. Y finalmente tampoco en manual, pues la cámara no reconocía el o objetivo. Eso si, mientras funcionó fue maravilloso, aumentando la f y corrigiendo el factor de recorte. Lástima que no fuese compatible con mi cámara.

Tried it with my Canon 70-200 - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. With the 100-400, auto-focus didn't work at all. Would not recommend. I will end up buying a couple of native lenses for the Sony. Too bad.

Autofocus : Overall the adapter only works best if you have your lens set to AF-S. AF-C leaves more to be desired. But the general pattern with this adapter is that you must to have expensive glass to make this work. A 50mm from Yong Nuo has crappy autofocus in both AF-C and video, but works quite well in AF-S. But a 24-70mm f2.8 Canon has awesome autofocus with AF-S, AF-C and video focusing working quite well (still miss now and then). Video autofocus is a bit noisy, but I usually use no audio or an external mic so this does not concern me.Material Quality: I had put this in rain, snow, heat, in a bag that has tons of stuff that could scratch it - and this thing is still standing with no scratches, water or dust damage. A Solid "A" in this department.Value for money: This depends on the lens you have. If you have crappy third party canon mount lens, then this is not for you. But if you used to be a Canon photographer with really great glass and want to try a sony, this could be a nice adapter to have when testing the sony out.NOTE: I am surprised that this adapter works on the sony A6000, A7, A7ii (sony cameras which usually don't work with adapters). But you have to use contrast AF and only have the focus-area in the center. But hey - it works.

Very good! But please use Manual focus.

5 stars? Yes. 5. I'll do more field tests on it but the reviews I heard before said it had really bad vignetting on it... completely overblown. (Btw ALL lenses have some form of vignetting) the adaptor was fine. If you're a stickler and you really think that's an issue then don't get it.Also if you for some reason want to use a non native lens on a Sony and expect the same results with ANY adaptor, you're dreaming big... even the metabones struggled to autofocus BUT! Metabones did end up focusing at least... eventually after a try or two. This is terrible for autofocus therefore should not be considered for photography if you're trying to autofocus for photos. Takes waaaaaaay too long (constantly hunting for focus) and when it hits it's usually not focused in the right area.***All of this is outweighed by the price and the rest it provides!!!***Consider that metabones stole the market early on by charging a stupidly high amount of money for a lens adaptor for video (WHICH IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THIS REVIEW FOR)Lens adaptors were never a consideration when I use my canon DSLR bodies (I'm a professional wedding/events/portrait photographer and videographer). But because Sony wants you to pay a stupidly high price for fast glass this is why we are all looking around for other options.Viltrox found a way to basically offer EVERYTHING the metabones speed booster does that you want in your lens adaptor (sans autofocus for video like a native Sony lens)* gives you the same focal length as a full frame on a cropped lens **(I tested photos with this..comparing my 5d mark 3 -full frame vs my Sony 6500) and they basically produced the same image in terms of focal length.** speed boosted!**My canon 2.8 24-70L lens became a 2.0! I can't be happier. Especially when Sony has great focus peaking and works when you switch the lens on the viltrox to Manual.** can change aperture!! **If you have ever bought a cheap lens adaptor as I have to compare: every time I wanted to adjust the lens aperture I had to take it offAnd put it on my canon set it on there and then or it back on. (Apparently some older lenses with the apertures that aren't motorized would basically not matter since you could manually change them).** it's affordable***Again if you're a lens snob or some pixel peeper maybe you'll see how wrong I am and how the metabones is worth the extra $500. But right now this is the price that I have been searching months for!No other lens adaptor has this much for this price. This is why I give it 5 stars. *****It's not perfect. Not even close... it doesn't even make tacos. But for this price I'm seriously looking forward to actually putting my canon L glass on these sonys!

First things first: This is a focal reducer. It does two things. 1. If you have a full frame lens and a crop sensor camera or are shooting aps-c mode on a full frame camera, it takes the full frame image circle and compresses it so it fits onto a crop sensor. 2. Because of the nature of the light gathering not only does it give you a near full frame FOV on the crop sensor, it increase the light sensitivity by approximately 1 stop. 3. It has a magnification factor of .71 so for instance at a crop factor of 1.5 a 50mm lens gives you (50*1.5)*.71 FOV = 53.25mm equivalent.This is NOT a photography product. Do not by this because you want your full frame 50mm 1.8 STM II on your 7D lens to be 50mm on your 70D. It doesn't provide enough coverage. You will have dark corners most likely. It covers, by design, roughly a 16X9 image circle, very very well. So, consequently if you don't mind making your photos 16X9 instead of 3:2, by all means do so, but focal reducers are not truly meant for photos.This IS a video product designed to make an s35 crop factor look almost like FF.My observations: 1. It does what it's supposed to beautifully. 2. It's sharp from the widest aperture to the lowest (surprisingly so) 3. It gives roughly 2/3 stop increase in brightness as measured using waveforms, not 1 full stop. 3. AF works great, although for video there really isn't much need. 4. for people noting fall off in the corners that can happen with focal reducers in general, not just this one. My experience so far is that some lenses do (primarily optics with light falloff anyway) and some lenses don't (fast primes). There are lenses on which is have 0 light falloff even at widest aperture and others with 1.5-2 stops difference in the corners, for example. 5. It doesn't support all lenses equally. My Canon 85mm 1.2L works, but in order to change aperture the lens or adapter must be reseated each time. 6. If you attach a fully manual EF compliant lens with no electronic number 5 will happen. 7. It flares beautifully. 8. pointed directly at light sources nothing 'unpredictable' happens.If you are the finickiest of finicky drop another $500 and get a metabones for marginally better performance. Otherwise, this product is a total hidden gem.
