Canon 800mm f5.6 on the Sony A7s - will it work?

[oferlevy]

Hi all,

I would like to use the Sony A7s for wildlife video work using my Canon EF 300mm f2.8 L IS and Canon EF 800mm f5.6 L IS.

 

Will they work?

 

Any issues I should expect? Vignatting? Autofocus issues?

 

Thanks,

No autofocus at all. I don't know about aperture control, I guess it depends on the adapter.

This one states Autofocus so I'm wrong. But:

 

Only Canon-branded lenses introduced in or after 2006 are officially supported. Autofocus speed is very slow and inadequate for most moving subjects. Autofocus may be disabled for older Canon lenses and most third-party lenses, including most Sigma, Tamron and Tokina lenses and all Contax N lenses modified by Conurus. This Smart Adapter is also compatible with fully manual lenses which have no electrical contacts. For a list of reported compatibility with specific lenses please see the Metabones website.

Hi

Don't know how well (or if) they work but there seem to be a few different adapters and maybe there will be more by the time the camera is released.

Here is another just found via a search.    Be nice if there was a list of all the adapters that work with the Sony FE cameras.
