auditioning the A7s with my EF and M-lenses. Just got the combo from Lens Rentals last night
so, available light here we go...!
Well, first, as you I am somewhat amazed by the "slop" in the Metabones IV... The Voightlander M-adapter is much tighter and of course less complex
EF -lenses? AF seems about 50% or so slower with Metabones than my native 6D. Second, up to 12800 so far and I much prefer the Canon rendition of colors and amazingly the Sony seems noisier. Focus lock isn't as good either
The A7s vs. M240...? Well I don't go over 3200 with the 240 but with A7s at 12800 and 240 at 3200, again, no contest on image with 50mm -cron on both. 240 crushes the Sony, though the two stops are nice. With a -.95 Noctulux you can forget wide open, even with peaking. The Rangefinder is much more accurate, though darker view
So far I stand underwhelmed and that bums me since I thought I found a solution. Will take a go at it today again and double check all settings
BTW; yes, about every 10th to 12th shot the Sony seemed to just freeze a bit and would not trigger the shutter. This may be due to the silent mode I was using and will test with normal shutter today.
Also will post pics for all this
I must be doing something wrong. Everyone says this camera (A7s) is from God's Hands...
PS - I don't really ETTR anymore very much unless it low and difficult light. Then will trim Exp Comp while reviewing shots or just bracket
