Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, nothing extraordinary.

I bought this adapter for sony a7iii and canon 85 1.8 lens. At home, when checking, everything suited me, but on the set, he let me down. When shooting quickly with eye tracking, after 25-30 seconds of continuous tracking, the entire camera hung up without the possibility of turning it off with the button. Focusing accuracy also suffered. The frames are blurry at a shutter speed of 1/500 (while the model stood motionless like me), this is apparently due to freezing. Also, if you change lenses during shooting, it is possible to install this adapter so that it will not be read by the camera. Why this is happening, I have no idea. You just need to remove and install the adapter again, everything will work out for 2-3 times. If the lens is not readable, then AF will not work either. Well, strong chromatic aberrations appeared throughout the frame in out of focus with different intensities, which were absent in conjunction with the old camera.

Pros
  • Supports and monitors real-time AF for eyes and face
Cons
  • Because of the adapter, the camera turns on and off for a long time. Sometimes it does not detect the lens, which is why there is no autofocus (only with handles). In continuous shooting, the entire camera can freeze so that it canโ€™t even be turned off without removing the battery.
