To quote DPR directly: “At this point, with these lenses, we find this update largely useless.” The adapter limits phase-detect functionality to a small region in the center and resulted in “significant hunting” in pretty much all modes tested. After updating a Metabones Smart Adapter Mark IV, DPReview put the update to the test with a Canon 35mm f/1.4L II, Canon 70-200 f/2.8L II IS, and Sigma 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm f/1.4 Art. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case. This isn’t unique to Metabones, since the Sigma MC-11 adapter already implemented this functionality however, the Sigma adapter’s AF performance was found to be lack-luster, so people were hopeful Metabones could do better. The update lets you use Sony’s native AF modes-like continuous Eye-AF and Direct Manual Focus (DMF)-with the attached Canon lens. It seems the results are… less than great.įirst, the news: Metabones EF Smart Adapters and Speedboosters that let you use Canon lenses on your Sony E-Mount cameras recently got an exciting firmware update. The news that Metabones Sony E-Mount to EF adapters and speedboosters had just been updated with some of Sony’s native autofocus functionality was hailed with many shouts of joy, but those shouts may have been premature.
