I have 2 adaptors, the MC-11, and the Metabones gen 5.
It's kind of a long story. I've been kind of under whelmed with Canon lately, and been thinking about a switch to Sony.
I've heard good things about Sony, so to add to my old Nex 7, I bought an a6300.
The a6300 is ok, but because the viewfinder is off to one side, I find it tough to get a shot lined up with longer glass.
So I read more, watched move videos on the Sony line of cameras. Found out how good the canon lenses were
working on the latest models. So I bought the MC-11 first, and it works pretty well, but there is one thing it can't do
and that's use EF-S lenses. They don't fit. So after some more reading, I find out the MB adaptors can take EF-S lenses.
For the most part, I've used the MC-11 adaptor 95% of the time. I've only used the MB to try out some EF-S lenses.
Both have worked really well for me. The a7III is really a great camera, and it is going to replace a few of my Canons.
I'm probably going to keep my 80D for the reach, but I'm thinking the rest of them are going to go ... soon.
I think the biggest problem with the adapted lenses are with focusing while taking a video. Not so much stills.
Sure, it's probably not quite as fast to focus as native glass. If you do a 15 shot rapid fire test, a shot or two will be out of focus,
of course thirteen will be great. There aren't many trade offs for what I'm using it for.

Looks more like a backseat driver to me (even before reading davev's comment). That's a four-door Wrangler. Near-perfect angle for the illusion.

Thanks guys.
The dog is in the back seat, so no laws where broken. :D
There was a group of us taking photos of loons on the lake, when this jeep drove by.
One of the women there said, You don't see that everyday.
I was the only one to step out and grab a shot of it, cause I've never seen it before.
I found it really odd that the people there had probably taken a few hundred shots of the loons,
but no one turned their cameras for a truly rare sighting. It confuses me sometimes.

Gotta love it. In our area, we see a lot of "retired" dogs riding around in golf carts. It is hilarious to see a big retriever sitting up straight in the passenger seat and keeping an eye out for where he is going.

I will say that he appears to be driving exceptionally well...a dog that drives well is always good to see.

Best Wishes, Traveller

Way too cool, write that dog up for driving without a license! Im assuming thats the same lens you use with the canon, what adapter do you use and overall how would you rate the auto focus performance. I have read where non Sony lenses don’t always AF as well with adapters. Paul
